The Internet tells us that astrology is now really big with Millennials<\/a> (and the Internet is never wrong about anything, is it?). On the one hand, this is good news for astrologers and astrology in general. Who doesn’t love being popular?<\/p>\n

\"source:<\/a><\/p>\n

Despite this, I have some concerns about how astrology is being presented in many places on the Internet.<\/p>\n

It seems like there is a tendency to chase after this particular demographic with articles that are kind of heavy on the graphics…<\/p>\n

\"matthew<\/a>

… And maybe a bit light on actual, factual information.<\/p>\n

\"matthew<\/a>

Astrology, like life itself, is pretty complicated. And I understand how daunting it can be for the casual reader to suddenly encounter an article that is heavy on technical details.<\/p>\n

\"matthew<\/a>

This is one of the reasons why “Sun Sign Astrology” continues to be the gateway drug that gets people interested in the good stuff.<\/p>\n

And hey… there’s nothing inherently wrong with looking good, is there?<\/p>\n

\"matthew<\/a>

But I sometimes worry that this approach to astrology one sees on so many websites is not doing astrology a service at all.<\/p>\n

\"source:<\/a>

We all have a certain tendency to look for easy answers in life, and life rarely provides those.<\/p>\n

\"source:<\/a>

Or perhaps I should say: easy answers aren’t always correct answers.<\/p>\n

\"source:<\/a>

Sometimes I wonder if I should modify my approach to writing this blog in order to draw in more readers with an approach that is brighter and shinier but more superficial.<\/p>\n

\"matthew<\/a>
source: flickr.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Oh… okay. I’ll give it a try just this once.<\/p>\n

\"source:<\/a>

Next time, though? It’s back to the nitty-gritty of aspects and transits and so on.\u00a0 No, honestly!<\/em><\/p>\n
