I don’t think she needed to address the obvious thing. Dua has a newsletter, a podcast, she talks about mental health very often. It’s kinda exhausting how artists should be always advocating for the “right” things because people demand them to do imo, it was supposed to be a fun story, not a serious statement I’m on my Legacy Act era 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the question was simple and direct, "do you make desitions based on astrology?" she was not joking with what she said, plus if equiparing astrology as a viable replacement therapy is fun to you, her or anyone, well i dont know what else to tell ya...

MelbHawker 6,583 Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Some of y’all need to learn to live, & let live. She’s not discouraging therapy by stating she doesn’t have a therapist.. the way it’s being twisted by some of you is insane. If this whole astrology vibe genuinely helps her & is affirming to her life, why is it a bad thing? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doroteyo 375 Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 (edited) astrology has been around for thousands of years and is practiced by every civilization for a reason... it should not be used as a replacement to therapy but it can be an awesome supplement and guide. If you think it's bollocks you probably have not actually experienced it I don't know anyone who thinks it's fake who has had a reading done. It's not scary or controversial, friends, though it can feel scary to have your belief system challenged! Edited May 20 by Tobcho Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a difference between faith and experience. When you've experienced something, you can decide whether it was useful or not - but until you have, what are you basing your judgment on? You should have your own opinion on it of course, I am just suggesting that astrology may just be a tool that does work and people stigmatize it because they don't get it, and they don't get it b/c they haven't experienced it :)) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
