Astrology has officially infiltrated work culture

There’s nothing idiotic about it, astrology is a simple computer: a set of programmable timers. Tarot is also a simple computer for presenting the user a series of choices and (not quite random) dice rolls. Both of them need to be programmed and the programs are of varying use. YMMV but it’s no more idiotic than Pivotal Tracker.

Which is to say, can be quite idiotic depending on how it’s used.

Tarot is probably the easier to get into since the programs are published as a card game with a simple rule book. There are quite a lot of different programs written for the platform.

Generally speaking the programs span the deck, the rules, and the user. The final bit of programming you do yourself by having reactions to the cards and training consistent, personal responses in yourself. Of course the actual source of any situational information is your subconscious mind not the cards. The cards essentially provide you a structure through which you search your subconscious beliefs.

It’s similar to neural nets in that way... the program starts off with random activations (“how could it know anything about anything?”) but via training you give the network meaning.
