Our Days Overlapping with the Stars

I began studying astrology in earnest around the time we entered the so-called 'Age of Air'.

However, at that time, I wasn't particularly conscious of the 'Age of Air'.
I was just drawn to it for some reason.
I started learning as if pulled by something, and looking back, it coincided exactly with a turning point in the era.

Studying astrology was a way for me to search for meaning and causes—to ask what my life was about and why things were the way they were right then.
I think I wanted to understand what was happening before my eyes in my own way, rather than just letting events pass me by.

We do not live our lives exactly as the stars dictate.
What comes first are the hesitations and changes that occur in our daily lives.
I believe astrology is not something that gives instructions, but rather a clue to help us think about 'why things are this way now' after the fact.

Looking back, there are times when the flow of the world and the direction I was heading seem to overlap with the movements of the stars in a mysterious way.

Over the past few years, I have come to view astrology in that light.
Not as something that 'predicts the future' or as an 'instruction manual,' but as a way to illuminate the rhythm of human life against the rhythm of the universe.

The term 'Age of Air' spread, and Pluto moved from Capricorn to Aquarius.
And last month, there was a symbolic milestone where Saturn and Neptune perfectly aligned at zero degrees Aries.

Even without knowing about these major celestial movements, we continue to live our daily lives.
We work, we hesitate, we worry, we let go of things, and we make new choices as we go through each day.

Even so, the atmosphere of the times enters us without us realizing it.
We are swayed by the currents of society, our values change, and we re-examine things we once took for granted.
When we are in the midst of such changes, we sometimes look at the stars afterward and think, 'Ah, so that's what it was.'

Of course, even with the same celestial movements, the same things do not happen to everyone.
Everyone's natal chart is different, and the way these things manifest is also unique to each person.

Entering the Age of Air, as it is called in astrology, was indeed significant for me.
Since that time, I feel I have begun to learn not just by reading the stars, but by layering them over my own life.

And now, as I experience Pluto's entry into Aquarius and the symbolic alignment of Saturn and Neptune in real-time, I think about it even more.
We do not move because we are commanded by the stars.
We are simply living.

Whether to call that fate or coincidence, I still do not know.

However, I feel a quiet sense of uniqueness in the fact that I am also witnessing this era, experiencing these major celestial milestones firsthand.

Astrology is not something that dictates the future.

It is something that gently gives shape to the feelings and changes of us who live in the present

I believe that is what it is.
