another astrology experiment that would have hilarious payoff if even vaguely statistically significant: what if it turns out that people with SAD have, like, a chain of natal malefics all lined up that go into solar opposition transit at regularly the same time of year every year
origin of this is in an argument i had with someone that I didn’t think there was anything in the brain that kept track of the seasons, because the seasons are their own best model so there’s no need for an “astrology lobe” of the brain to keep track of the time of the year unlike the diurnal circadian rhythms, and SAD being treatable with sun lamps was proof of this, since if there was an astrology lobe, the mind would not yield to this fake spring so readily
but… what if… what if there is an astrology lobe…
