There is a wound within the astrological community and I want to illuminate upon this. Astrology is something that is ancient and sacred and devotion to the studies of astrology is the most important aspect to becoming an astrologer but this devotion is becoming distant and distorted.
With the craving of content being seen, reaching audiences far and wide - astrology is becoming shallow, materialistic and much of it is fear based. It has become a trend to repeat the same narrative of this months popular program and authenticity is becoming rare, a dedication to studies becoming less and less.
We make astrology sacred again by returning to reverence. By slowing down and listening — truly listening — to the voice of the stars, not just their surface transits but their soul beneath the movement. This path is not for performance, but for presence. To walk with astrology is to walk with a living language of the divine, and that requires more than memorization or mimicry. It requires relationship, rhythm, ritual. The sacred cannot be rushed, and the cosmos do not cater to trends.
In ancient times, astrology was sacred because it was woven into the very fabric of temple life, spiritual initiation, and divine order. The stars were not seen as trends or tools, but as deities in motion — celestial intelligences that reflected the will of the gods and the soul of the cosmos.
Astrologers were often priests, mystics, or philosophers who underwent years of rigorous training, not just in planetary calculation, but in metaphysics, astronomy, and spiritual ethics.
To read the stars was a form of communion — a sacred rite that required purity of intention, reverence, and wisdom. A language, if you will.
Now, astrology exists in a very different landscape — one saturated by social media, content creation, and quick consumption. Much of the sacredness has been replaced by spectacle.
Interpretations are often rushed, recycled, and reduced to surface-level entertainment. While accessibility has grown, depth has often been sacrificed. The ancient art of soul-mapping has been filtered through algorithms, and in that translation, the spiritual heart of astrology is too often forgotten. But there are still those who remember — and they are the ones being called to restore the sanctity of this cosmic language.
In the temples of Kemet, Babylonia, and the Hellenistic world, astrology was guarded like a mystery teaching. It was never meant for the masses without initiation, because to truly grasp the stars meant to understand your own soul's journey across lifetimes. Celestial alignments were used not just to predict events, but to choose the right moment for sacred rituals, the crowning of kings, or the anointing of priests.
Today, while astrology has been liberated from the hands of gatekeepers, it has also been diluted by the speed and saturation of modern culture. The sacred slowness — the contemplative devotion that astrology requires — is often bypassed in favor of relatability or virality. It’s not that astrology has lost its power, but that we’ve forgotten how to approach it. The stars are still speaking in the same sacred language; we just have to quiet the noise and remember how to listen.
We return to that sacredness when we choose depth over performance, ritual over reaction, and truth over trend.
To return astrology to the sacred is not to retreat into elitism, but to reclaim intention. The ancients understood that the planets were not just orbiting rocks — they were embodiments of divine principles, gods dressed in celestial robes. To speak of Saturn was to speak of time, karma, discipline, death, and rebirth. To invoke Venus was to call forth love not just in romance, but in beauty, art, devotion, and soul union. These archetypes were not reduced to memes or one-liners — they were lived, prayed to, respected. The astrologer was a bridge, not an influencer. A vessel, not a brand.
We are being called now — those who feel the ache for something deeper — to restore what was lost. Not to copy the ancients exactly, but to revive their reverence. To blend the wisdom of then with the reach of now. There is a way to make astrology both accessible and holy, both contemporary and eternal. It begins with the astrologer’s heart. It begins when we stop chasing clicks and start building altars — in our minds, in our practices, in our words. Astrology becomes sacred again when we become sacred in how we carry it.
