Astrology brings out a different side of me cause my father was literally obsessed with it and owned a billion astrology books and constantly talked about his chart. I have no sense of it being frivolous, I’m just like, “ah yeah astrology the dork religion”— Big Joel (@biggestjoel) April 4, 2022
its brainworms from hermeticism, of which modern astrology is derived. tldr: men are a cosmic good, women are a cosmic evil. cosmic good and evil clash and understanding these forces is how you achieve true enlightenment. calling something 'feminine' can mean a lot in hermeticism and astrology as whole and it usually isnt a good thing, its basically shoplifted yin-yang
Technically, he says men are Order and Women are Chaos, and that you need both.
He then devotes writing to the fact that the world is too chaotic right now, and needs extra order to bring it back into balance. Also, if you call him on any of this, he'll retreat by saying, "Oh, I'm just talking about stories, the stories humans tell each other. Don't blame me for saying it, its the meaning behind what humans have been telling each other!"
So its hard to pin his specific beliefs down, or at least, to get him to admit it, as its pretty clear his 'vibe' is conservative Christian who desperately wants to think he's smart.
yeah hermeticism says that in everyone there is evil and good and that the only good thing is god and anything absent of god can be evil but men are more likely to have good in them for... reasons, usually ties in with christianity and how god created adam first

I don’t see how astrology is inherently feminine, one of the biggest astrology weirdos I’ve ever known was literally a frat boy.
Also idk who the fuck Joel’s dad is but it seems weird to assume he was “fem-leaning” whatever that means.

Isn't this what Jordan Peterson unironically believes? Feminine chaos dragons and lobsters and all that?
