after the mass retrograde event that aligned with multiple intense malefic conjunctions in my chart and seeing that reflected in my real life it really is so funny hearing people say like, "you THINK astrology is real because when you think something is going to happen, you end up making it happen!! self-fulfilling prophecy!!" like... that may make sense in some cases but my cat died? my grandma is in the hospital? my tire blew out? an owl got stuck in my chimney? like you're allowed to think astrology is silly, but don't make stupid arguments, the idea that we control every facet of our own circumstances is new age cult bullshit in itself #TheSecret

#mine #personal #astrology #my chart #genuinely and seriously if i needed reaffirmation from astrology before these last few months that is definitively cured now lmao #and doing a thesis on the history of stupid new age texts has primed me to recognize pop new age fallacies in subtler forms #such as. the idea that every individual is uniquely in control of and more or less solely to blame for their own suffering. lol #which is an astoundingly common sentiment. that's called living in an enneagram type 3 culture ✌️💀🔫#sorry to any girlies out there who like the secret ig. it's an insidious documentary that mystifies rational cause and effect relationships #in order to circumvent social responsibility of the privileged to examine the systems that enable them #blah blah blah
