Thanks for sharing this! I was just talking to someone about an experience I am having while traveling and the only way I had to put it into words was “this is so Pisces and its overwhelming.”

Pisces acted as a space holder, a symbol for me to hash out my thoughts until I could say them more clearly.

Eventually, that led to “I am finding that go with the flow leisure makes me really anxious and when I sit with that here are the memories that create that experience.”

It is important to have symbols to hold space for the things we can’t say clearly and as you pointed out astrology provides this in an in-depth system that has a symbol for nearly everything while bypassing the need for a particular religious system.

Sorry you got some haters, from my experience they’re typically people who haven’t actually looked into applying the work in their own lives. When people do their minds are normally blown.
