Better yet, learn to navigate by the stars, track the year by the stars. Get yourself a garden, study the natural world, learn the correlations, abandon the internet, books, civilization altogether. Join a tribe.

I have always been /x/ tier, when i was a kid i would go to the library and check out books on aliens, ghosts, cryptids. fucking loved x files. Anyways. in the past years i got into what is called mundane astrology, which is the study of worldly events and the fate of nations, cities, and larger groups of people, rather than individuals.
Astrology is not feminine but has been hijacked by crystal cat ladies who are usually really libtarded. I have found a few astrologer that lean right or do the decent thing and admit when something is about to happen that they dont agree with.

Anyways, one book i recommend is called Cosmos and Psych by richard tarnas

Astrology was refuted as atheist charlatanry by this anonymous Greek metaphysician (Pseudo-Hippocrates). You claim to take what is divine and give humans its knowledge thus saying that humans may own knowledge of what is above them- atheist.

>>For, if they profess to know how to bring down the moon, darken the sun, induce storms and fine weather, and rains and droughts, and make the sea and land unproductive, and so forth, whether they arrogate this power as being derived from mysteries or any other knowledge or consideration, they appear to me to practice impiety, and either to fancy that there are no gods, or, if there are, that they have no ability to ward off any of the greatest evils. How, then, are they not enemies to the gods? For if a man by magical arts and sacrifices will bring down the moon, and darken the sun, and induce storms, or fine weather, I should not believe that there was anything divine, but human, in these things, provided the power of the divine were overpowered by human knowledge and subjected to it. But perhaps it will be said, these things are not so, but, not withstanding, men being in want of the means of life, invent many and various things, and devise many contrivances for all other things, and for this disease, in every phase of the disease, assigning the cause to a god. Nor do they remember the same things once, but frequently. For, if they imitate a goat, or grind their teeth, or if their right side be convulsed, they say that the mother of the gods is the cause. But if they speak in a sharper and more intense tone, they resemble this state to a horse, and say that Poseidon is the cause. Or if any excrement be passed, which is often the case, owing to the violence of the disease, the appellation of Enodia is adhibited; or, if it be passed in smaller and denser masses, like bird's, it is said to be from Apollo Nomius.

Uh, they don't, mister Literal Who.

Read classical astrology not the modern new age stuff. For philosophy of astrology many talk about it but Plotinus has the most to say. He takes a middle road, the heavens are signs but they aren’t causative, there’s a lot more to it though.

Astrology claims to know all of those things and more based on the position of the stars. Anything which claims to know matters beyond the physical plane based on stars and planets is proto-atheism and charlatanry.

>Christians believe angels exist
>angels are beyond physical plane
does this make all the Christians proto-atheists

there is been stories of people using magic and contacting demons for hidden knowledge throughout all cultures and ages, including the bible
when Jonah is on the boat and before he is thrown to the fish, the guys on the boat cast lots (a form of thaumaturgy) to call Jonah out on his bullshit
In the old Jewish texts its told that astrology was given to men by fallen angels
