I think of astrology, like tarot, as a storytelling tool. For myself, an astrology or tarot reading gives a narrative which I can consider and possibly act upon. For flattering or welcome aspects of the reading, do I actually manifest the desirable characteristics? Could I be more like these aspects of the reading? For unflattering/unwelcome aspects, the opposite. Of course, this works just as well with a randomly shuffled tarot deck, or with a random astrological reading (I don’t think that there is anything special about the astrological reading which corresponds to my date of birth). I haven’t written fiction in a long time, but I also think it might be interesting to use such readings to develop fictional characters or plots.
