So all those TikTok memes that are about astrology and mental health, all those memes saying, “I thought it was a double Aries, but then my psychiatrist told me that I actually have OCD.” I was skeptical. I thought it was just a joke, funny meme. But then we talked to actual experts, and it’s interesting what they said.
I thought all the psychologists we talked to were going to be like, this is ridiculous. People need to stop talking about astrology as it relates to mental health, but that is not what they send. They actually said that if you can use astrology to learn things about yourself, about your behaviors, about your patterns, about what you’re doing, and you can then take that information and use it as a basis for therapy or to explore these things more deeply, then astrology is a useful tool for your mental health.
Of course, you’ve got to go that extra step, actually go to therapy. Sometimes patients are more willing to accept things they learn about themselves if it can be explained by astrology or if they can see it in their charts because somehow it’s more relatable or acceptable than a medical diagnosis.
And so when they hear these things in astrology and then they take them into psychology, they’re more open to the treatment and to hearing about all of this. So there’s something to it, and you can keep reading your astrological chart, but if you think there’s something really going on, bring it to your therapist.
