Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Still seems like a problem of religion rather than the practice of astrology in and of itself. You can politicise any otherwise innocuous practice and make it nefarious, but that’s the fault of the political actor rather than a failing of the practice in my opinion.
It sort of evolved together and is an actual part of the religion so it would differ from the western perspective (or anywhere where else without such a practice spanning back thousands of years) where it is innocuous.
