If I have to hear one more astrologer telling me I am doing my best, I am going to lose it. We are living through an astrological boom, people keep telling us. There are many new books out on the subject; there are celebrity astrologers; there are half a dozen astrology apps with major VC investment; every women’s media outlet from fashion magazines to Vice subsidiary Broadly has regular horoscope columns; Prada, Versace and Gucci have released astrology-inspired fashion. And if you’re on social media, you’ve probably been attacked by astrology memes, where whole careers have been made from a person’s ability to tell you which character from the Netflix show You you are, based on your astrological sign. Oh my God, I’m such a Dottie! (Who the hell is Dottie, by the way?) Astrology is entering the mainstream. As someone who has studied astrology and the esoteric arts, I am here to give you my expert opinion on this trend: this has absolutely nothing to do with astrology. It’s just a new wave of self-help. Throughout history, astrology has been deeply intertwined with religion and spirituality – because its concerns were often religious and spiritual. How do I live a good life? Why am I suffering? What do the gods want from me? And yes, a lot of people just wanted to know when they were going to fall in love, and leaders like Elizabeth I and Ronald Reagan just wanted to know when it was the best time to go harass the poor people again, but every major religion has at one time or another used astrology to ease communication between earth and the heavens and show its followers where their free will collides with the vagaries of fate. Contemporary astrology has all the spiritual content of a feelgood Lizzo anthem – you know, the one where Lizzo allegedly stole a tweet from fellow female musician Mina Lioness and turned it into a lyric without attributing it, made a fortune off it, and then only after a year of hounding and some legal proceedings finally admitted she didn’t write her most famous hook. Divorced from its religious framework, then, astrology just becomes a form of self-help. How should I dress as an Aries rising? What music does my Scorpio sun want to listen to? And, as in self-help, everything bad that happens is just a lesson or an opportunity for growth. It’s the same line of thinking that gets you to “Cancer is a gift”. If you’re struggling financially, maybe you have some money karma to resolve. If you’re lonely, maybe you’re just not “showing up for yourself” romantically. The implication is that everything in your life is ultimately within your control; it’s just a matter of working it the right way. Take, for example, the hottest new astrology book, Chani Nicholas’s You Were Born for This: Astrology for Radical Self-Acceptance (sigh). Nicholas is often credited with creating a new woke astrology. She runs workshops with names like “Self-Care Strategies for Crushing the Patriarchy” (sigh). She uses words like “capitalism” and
