I think they have value in "de-rutting" your thoughts. I find they foster creativity and unjam blocks and such by putting a new way of looking at issues.

That's exactly the way I look at things like tarot as well. The cards tell you little stories that you relate to things in your own life.

I think something like astrology works in pretty much the same way.

I don't actually use Pixelfed (it's the Fediverse version of Instagram right?) and it acts a little funky in Firefox Android but if there's a decent app, I might give things a proper look there. I'm definitely a fan of your writings. And I've been missing interesting stuff like this in my life.
