Finding Comfort in the Stars: A Shift from Therapy to Astrology

People often seek help to understand themselves better. For some, this means talking to a therapist. But for others, like the person in this story, therapy didn't feel quite right. They felt stuck, like they weren't making progress. They also had a nagging feeling that their therapist knew more about them than they were saying. Instead of therapy, they turned to astrology. It was cheaper in the long run. They didn't have to talk much. The astrologer didn't need their backstory. It was a fresh way to look at life. The astrologer spoke in abstract terms. It felt like a cosmic explanation for their feelings. It made their problems feel less personal. This approach gave them a sense of control. It felt like they had a companion in their experiences. It took away the shame of feeling lost. They weren't alone in their thoughts. Others were exploring similar paths. According to research, many adults in the U. S. consult astrology or similar practices at least once a year. Over the years, they explored different spiritual practices. Tarot became their new emotional language. It helped them see life themes as symbols, not deep-seated issues. For example, their emotional distance wasn't necessarily trauma. It could be explained by their moon sign in Aquarius. This shift from therapy to astrology shows how people seek different ways to understand themselves. It's not about laziness. It's about finding what works for them. It's about finding comfort and meaning in a way that resonates.
