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
So does drinking and overeating. If the best you can say about astrology is that it's a coping mechanism you might as well ditch it.
Replacing it is fine. Taking away a person's coping mechanism without replacing does not improve their lot
