Okay, so if I take for given that me being born under a constellation that looks like a crab has some immutable affect on my personality, what exactly is causing that?

Does the constellation represent a deity who is projecting psychic energy on me that molds me in a way representative to itself? Are the stars themselves having some kind of gravitational effect on my brain chemistry? Does the cosmos function in some strange way where people born under a certain alignment of the celestial bodies end up having a different psychology?

Sorry to be a nerd about this but I don't like the idea its just pure vibes, I'd like some understanding of the actual causation here.

There is none? Lmao.

It's calipers. In the current culture it's calipers for her. I hate the commercialization of estorica. You should have to join some sort of order and take a blood oath to abstain from marketing and social media to do it. Esoterica used to be a contest for who can be the weirdest guy and come up with the hottest take. But in the modern era a lot of it is complaining about other races, complaining about boyfriends or cheat codes for women. The gnostics were so good at it they all got murdered.
