astrology i am still coming to a conclusion about, but i am still pretty sure that people who charge you for consultations are amulet sellers
what is so offensive to me about the brown scapular is the pure priestcraft of it – trying to extract payment (mostly in the form of attention to the Carmelite order who are pretty… idk, look up their little stunt in Auschwitz in the 80s, and they have popes boosting their little amulet business) for sunlight (the forgiveness of sin).
and charging for astrology comes pretty close to literally trying to charge for sunlight and starlight
