Horoscopes. tarot cards, psychics, fortune tellers, crystals, you name it, anything with no connections to reality, women flock to it. Why?

Have you ever met a baseball player? The most superstitious people I’ve ever met.

I don't know a single woman that does any of those.

Although that Miss Cleo was entertaining on her infomercials.

I’m not superstitious, but I am a little stitious.

Probably to make up for the lack of a personality.

astrology serves as a safe, structured space for self-reflection and understanding, especially for women who feel dismissed in patriarchal settings, offering a framework to explore emotions, vulnerabilities, and personal narratives without judgment or the dominance of masculine perspectives often found in other discussions, providing refuge and shared understanding. Many find it a way to process life's uncertainties and reclaim narrative control, a contrast to systems where they might be talked over.

Difference being that there are actual mathematics and science to back up said analysis.

Have you never read Tara Isabella Burton?
Do you even Charles Taylor?

Let me help:
Charles Taylor, in his book A Secular Age, argues that Western society has gone through a process of disenchantment. In the past, the world felt "enchanted"—full of spirits, magic, and direct connections to the divine. Everyday life was tied to God or supernatural forces. But over centuries, science, reason, and secular thinking "drained" the world of that magic, creating a disenchanted modern life: rational, bureaucratic, and often flat or meaningless. This leaves people with a sense of loss or "malaise"—a feeling that something deeper is missing.
At the same time, Taylor says our era is the Age of Authenticity, driven by expressive individualism. People now believe each person has a unique inner self that they must discover and express to live a fulfilling life. You have to "be true to yourself" rather than follow strict external rules like old religious traditions. This pushes many away from organized religion (which can feel rigid or patriarchal) toward personal, customizable ways to find spiritual "fullness." Practices like tarot or crystals fit perfectly: they're intuitive, individual-focused tools for self-reflection, guidance, and a bit of re-enchantment—bringing some mystery and wonder back into a dull world without committing to a big institution.
Tara Isabella Burton, in her book Strange Rites: New Religions for a Godless World, builds on similar ideas. She says Americans (especially younger ones) aren't becoming less religious—they're remixing religion. Many have left traditional churches but still crave spiritual meaning, community, and ritual. Instead of old faiths, they're creating personalized "religions" based on intuition over institutions. Astrology, tarot, witchcraft, and crystals are prime examples: they're flexible, self-directed ways to feel connected to something bigger, heal emotionally, or make sense of chaos.
Burton points out that these practices often appeal strongly to women because they're marketed heavily toward them (think wellness culture, social media influencers, and apps) and offer empowerment in a world where traditional religion can feel male-dominated. They provide safe spaces for emotional exploration, personal growth, and a sense of control or magic without patriarchal structures.
Together, Taylor and Burton explain this trend not as irrational "superstition," but as a response to modern life's emptiness: disenchantment creates a hunger for enchantment, and expressive individualism lets people (especially women seeking non-traditional paths) fill it with intuitive, self-made spiritual tools. These practices give comfort, identity, and a spark of wonder in an otherwise rational, uncertain world.
TLDR; People need meaning and look straight past Christianity for a variety of good reasons. Unfortunately, they’ll be dissatisfied.
