In an era where Large Language Models can pass the Bar Exam, it's tempting to ask: "Can AI be my astrologer?" The answer is technically yes, but spiritually no.
Data vs. Wisdom
AI operates on probability. It predicts the next likely word based on millions of training texts. If you ask about "Sun in Aries," it gives you the average of every description of Aries ever written. It gives you the stereotype.
Astrology, however, is a language of archetypes, not stereotypes. A human astrologer holds the tension of opposites. They understand that a "weak" Mars in Cancer might actually drive a person to be a fierce protector of their family—a nuance that data averages often smooth over.
The Daimon
Ancient astrologers believed in the concept of the daimon—a guiding spirit inherent in the chart. Reading a chart was considered a dialogue between the astrologer, the client, and the cosmos. It requires intuition, empathy, and a "spark" of consciousness to synthesize the geometric data into a meaningful narrative.
AI is a tool, like a telescope. It can help us see the data clearly. But it cannot tell us what the stars mean for the human heart. That requires a pulse.
