Finding Yourself in the Stars

Astrology, decision fatigue, and the search for meaning in the Information Age

We live in a moment where little feels solid. Institutions are crumbling, algorithms shape our realities, and the pressure to always know—and know what to do next—is relentless. In this climate of collapse and overload, it makes sense that people are drawn to systems that promise continuity—even if they don’t promise certainty. One of those frameworks is astrology.

Astrology is having a resurgence—not because it has newfound scientific legitimacy, but because it meets a deep cultural need. With so much exhaustion and disorientation from trying to navigate a world where the usual sources of stability have eroded, its resurgence makes sense. In an age shaped by information overload and the ever-expanding influence of digital systems, systems like astrology—longstanding, symbolic, and widely accessible—offer a kind of continuity that feels increasingly rare.
