Myth & Metric: Can we test Astrology???

I love astrology, and work with it for the metaphorical and self-actualization side that comes from integrating the Zodiac signs.  But I’ve had  planetary transits that boggle my mind, essentially when a planet’s current movements connect with a point in your natal chart. I have a hypothesis that I would like to test.

People are less likely to harm others if they experience some form of compassion in their lives, or if they believe that someone cares about them - even if it’s a public figure, a politician, a celeb, or a deity like Quan Yin.

This aligns us with a sense of peace and flow in life.   The techn...
