There’s a strange comfort in waking up to a horoscope notification that tells you, “Don’t text your ex today. You’re just hungry.” You smile, you know it’s probably nonsense and yet, you don’t text them.
If you've caught yourself quietly downloading Co–Star or scrolling through moon-phase memes, you're not alone. Astrology, tarot, crystals, zodiac signs, even full moon rituals, it's all cool again. For a generation raised on reason, numbers, and science, Gen Z appears to be drifting a little closer to the stars which brings throwback memories of childhood.
But how did we get here?
Let's go back a few years. The pre-Millennial generation, such as Boomers and Gen X, grew up in very religious families. Religion provided structure, identity, and answers but also rules, plenty of them.
So when Millennials grew up, they pushed back against the strictness. Religion began to seem old-fashioned or oppressive, and science and reason became the new pillars. Questions were OK, doubt was good, facts were the only thing that mattered.
But Gen Z, and even younger Millennials, are now living in a world where facts are… well, everywhere - too many of them. We’ve grown up with the internet in our hands, with instant access to every possible explanation, every news headline, every crisis. We've lived through a pandemic, watched the world shut down, seen wars unfold on our phone screens, and felt the climate collapsing around us.
Amidst all this turmoil, things are not often clear. Control is a myth. And science, though vitally significant, doesn't always provide emotional solace.
That's where astrology steps quietly into the conversation.
It's not so much about believing all the words. It's about feeling heard. It's about reading your horoscope and thinking, yeah… that really does ring true. Perhaps it's nebulous, perhaps it's false, but it resonates. It calms. Also it bring back those throwback memories of every house hold when they used to read their horoscope in the newspaper.
Astrology now is not about superstition. It's about softness. It's about connection. It's a soft daily ritual among the noise of the world, a small moment of introspection before you scroll into another doomsday timeline.
Apps like Co–Star, Sanctuary, and Nebula are built exactly for this purpose. They don’t scream “believe or perish.” They just nudge you to think about how you’re feeling, what’s going on in your life, and how to name it. And let’s be honest, they’re pretty fun too.
Because here’s the thing: belief today isn’t about answers, it’s about anchors. And while religion may be on the decline, the human need for belief never really goes away. We still crave something bigger than us, something that tells us we’re part of a story, even if it’s written in the stars.
So no, maybe the lights in the sky don’t guide us, but they do keep us company. And sometimes, that’s more than enough.
RashiPhal In Newspaper
How in the world where everyone get up in the morning, brush their teeth and then sit down on couch with the newspaper in hand just to find out what’s in their rashiphal for the day. Before astrology become famous lot of people used to see their rashiphal in the newspaper. But as the print media start decline after 2015 and internet news starts spreading on mobile and internet. But as people stop buying newspaper they are not having that positive or negative vibe which they used to have after reading their rashiphal. After reading rashiphal lot of people become happy or sad, like if someone is having exam and they read their rashiphal says you get the goodwill today then they think something good is going to happen to them. If they read some thing bad going to happen then they think their day going to be a bad one. which brings back the throwback memories of childhood like reading the everyone horoscope in a loud voice.
