where can I start with learning astrology and what school of astrology is the "best" if there even is such a thing (like western, chinese, vedic...)? also has astrology helped you in your /x/ journey?
personally im into what is called "mundane" astrology, which is the astrology of world events, political, weather, wars, etci just think its neat!
>>41047853there is no school, just get books and learn it
>>41047901any suggestions? dont want to read a book that turns out to be a load of rubbish
>>41047897Nice. Give us a bread crumb.>>41047914Welcome to based reality. Lol it's 50% worse now with the advent of AI
>>41047929the one book i suggest to get into mundane is cosmo and psyche by richard tarnashttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmos_and_Psyche
>>41047853I'd start with the Hellenistic tradition, it's a good foundation to build towards modern astrology without bs. Ptolemy (Tetrabiblos) or Valens (Anthology), although eventually you will, start with this:"Ancient Astrology in Theory and Practice: A Manual of Traditional Techniques" by Demetra George"Hellenistic Astrology: The Study of Fate and Fortune" by Chris BrennanOr honestly just run an advanced LLM to give you a step-by-step introductory course on the basics of this tradition: planets, signs, houses, time-lords, annual profections, lots...
>>41047962thanks, will give your books a go

>>41047951Very cool blurb from the wiki >In the last ten years, landmark works...have been reflecting and kindling a growing awareness that nature is not merely a sum of molecules obeying physical and chemical laws, but a living, sensuous, and ensouled matrix in which we fully participate and belong. Tarnas' Cosmos and Psyche extends this rising awareness beyond the bounds of the biosphere. Our psyche is not only deeply connected with our immediate natural environment, but with the whole of the cosmos encompassing us, with the rhythms of the planets we can see above us on clear nights. Searching beneath the depths of the psyche, Tarnas has found the heights of the cosmos. Cosmos and Psyche may radically transform the way we see cultural and political history, individual life journeys, and our sense of participation in the universe.[
>>41047853no, don't learn astrology. you'll be an idiot who bothers with useless things. its a waste of time and effort. tldr; astrology is for idiot.
>>41047962I +1 this post. With these recommendations I would also like to add >Ancient Astrology in Theory and Practice by Demetra George. It is a 2-volume work, but it is very retard-friendly because the author has a layman’s writing style that’s easy to absorb.There is also nothing wrong with reading a bunch of astrology blogs and publications here and there, but you might find that their interpretations can be too broad, or too reductive or even miss the mark entirely. This is why its nice to build a foundational knowledge base with traditional schools of astrology, the most prominent being Hellenistic astrology and European medieval astrology.Good luck! And happy learning.
