What new language would you most like to know? Is astrology on your list?

Does astrology count as a language?

Maybe the language of the stars could be classified as a pidgin, a language without native speakers.

But if, as discussed in Episode 96, ‘The Earth’s language’, languages are ways of organising information, then it might be more accurate to describe astrology as one of the Earth’s languages.

If the Earth has a language, it’s using it to tell us:

  • You don’t just exist as an ego, as a first-person pronoun, or a proper name
  • You don’t just exist in relation to all the things that people have said about you…or that you say about yourself
  • You also exist as a being who took their first breath at a precise moment in the Earth’s movement through the cosmos.

The story I read in this episode is ‘Pidgin.’
