There's no doubt that astrology is controversial AF as @conduitofhealin says. In fact, I think astrologers could benefit MORE from debating each other. But we too often descend into arguing. Those are not the same.
I know, I know. Why can't we all do whatever we feel called to do? Or say whatever we feel called to say? Well, there are at least two good reasons: a non-astrologically educated public AND astrology is as much an art of reason as it is intuition.
So, it's important for astrologers to make sense of what they say, not just go with what sounds good. It's why I always emphasize #KnowYourWhy in all my classes.
My students will tell you that they will often hear me say, "What the fuck does that mean?" when they say something that's vague or unclear. That may sound like a browbeat, but I think they'd also tell you, in context, that it's not.
9/10 I know what they are trying to say. But they may often say it in a way that's either not accessible or in some way that they've not thought through and need to integrate with what they (not me) truly think.
I seek to balance the rational with the spiritual. To reach for the heavens with one's feet firmly on the ground.
