I've studied western astrology seriously since 2017, and I wrote and illustrated the Indiana Daily Student's weekly astrology column with a fraction of the knowledge I have now. I started doing more formal readings for friends in 2020, due to a lack of parties where I'd squint at Astrodienst on my phone and yell about people's Saturns, along with the focused study that comes with starting an immunosuppressant a month before a pandemic.

If you know me, I neither own crystals or think my tarot decks have feelings. I understand astrology as a man-made system, just like language or religion, created in the context of a certain time to serve the interests of a certain class. It’s not dissimilar to how I think of Catholicism: a tradition with a (less violent) history you have to study before you break and remake it into something new.

While I'm not exclusively a Hellenistic astrologer, it's where I start, especially in the spirit of valuing material conditions over interiority, e.g.: one of the most disturbing things about modern astrology is people using the language of psychology. I use:

• whole sign houses
• traditional rulerships (Mars rules Scorpio, Saturn rules Aquarius, Jupiter rules Pisces)
• the seven traditional planets, adding Uranus through Pluto as needed
• the five classical aspects
