🌎 Everybody Wants to Rule the World

So the first thing you'll notice about me if you follow my Twitter is that I may be slightly obsessed with astrology. It's an interest that has stuck with me since the days of me reading my horoscope in the back of my mom's Cosmopolitans. But with time, I've learned there's so much more to astrology than just your sun sign: aspects, transits, degrees and declinations....Huh?

I've done the natal chart for every family member and friend—they're all shockingly accurate. But I couldn't really explain how it works. The archetypes just fit.

So, it makes me wonder...what is astrology? Where did it come from? Why has it fascinated cultures worldwide for thousands of years? Does this pseudoscience hold any water? Is it still relevant to human life today?

That line of thinking led me to want to probe into the history of astrology but also its ties to everything from philosophy, theology, cosmology, anthropology, philosophy, quantum physics, and other disciplines to try and unearth why we believe the things that we do.

It's my goal to turn my research into a book of essays, so 2024 has been filled with research on these topics. I may publish my articles on Substack in the near future, but for now, you can see my TBR List on Fable.

There's tons of services out there that promise they can make you into a

new, improved better version of you.

I'm a sucker for every app out there that promises it can help me manage better manage my time. At a bookstore, I just cannot resist the allure of the self-help section. And although I acknowledge that I have mental health issues that can benefit from one-on-one therapy, I hesitate to actually schedule a session.

So I decided to turn my quest for better mental health into an experiment where I'm the test subject. I'll try out different apps, online therapy programs, self-improvement guides, and more to see which work the best for me.
