Naturalism vs. Supernaturalism

The tricky thing about new age spirituality is, some people are into it as a form of naturalism, and some are into it as a form of supernaturalism, and the common language really obscures it, even though these are morally opposite approaches.

Social media helps reveal this, though, by bringing the extremes together in one place. Popular accounts tend toward either:

“Mars in Gemini! Here’s 5,000 words about plant species!”

or

“Mars in Gemini! Love and light, dear ones!!! At 4:44 PM, ALL YOUR PRAYERS WILL MANIFEST”

or, of course, our old classic:

“Do [practice] every day, and it will help you be a much better person to others.”

vs.

“Do [practice] every day, and you will be released from ever having to feel bad again, no matter what is happening.”

The actual pure astrology version is:

“How is [transit] showing up in your environment and consciousness?”

vs.

“Here is what [transit] is going to DO TO YOU!”
