Practicing Astrology is an Act of Faith

The practice of astrology is an act of faith. Making clearly articulated and timed predictions is an act of faith. Astrologers don't know why this stuff works, we have no control over how it works, and if it stopped working tomorrow we couldn't explain that either. We are really flying blind, operating as it were on instruments alone. Making a prediction is like that office game where you willfully fall backwards and just trust that the people behind you will catch you before you hit the ground, except with astrology, it's not other people saving you from crashing to the ground, it's the universe itself.
