What Astrology Can — and Cannot — Explain
What made astrology powerful for me was not just that it felt accurate. It was that it made me feel significant. This essay is about the seduction of cosmic explanation, the psychological cost of living through a chart, and why I would rather build a life than inherit one from the stars.

This essay is my reflection on how masks shape our interactions and why authenticity still matters.
