I don't care for woo shit generally but damn if astrology isn't the lamest one. Why aren't there people out there searching for gold with Dowsing rods? Why aren't teens trying to figure out their fates by doing Geomancy and throwing sticks on the ground? I want to see people get into Scapulimancy and Haruspexy where they divine things by burning bones and looking at duck livers.
Bring back that metal shit, fuck this "oooohhhh I looked at some stars and that said what personality I have", fuck that loser, go cut open an Ox and burn it's thigh bone and see the future by huffing geothermal gases!
This is actually a really fascinating question. I think the turn towards "woo shit" is indicative of a latent (especially feminist) anti-capitalism reemerging, This has always been tied to a particular communion though. "Witches" gathering for black mass, communal living, vagrancy, drugs and herbal medicine, naturalism, all of which was practiced with one's sisters/brothers in the dark arts.
With its latest reemergence, it distinctly lacks its communal nature while having a much wider appeal. The material force driving this is primarily the internet (although market forces are also an important driver, selling woo as an identity). The internet completely isolates us. There is no incantation circle in the woods. It's just a person and their plants at home saying "I am a witch". Astrology can be practiced quite easily by the individual and because it relies heavily on the written word can be transmitted easily over the internet.
