Less than 24 hours after an astrologer read my birth chart at a secluded retreat on Türkiye's Turquoise Coast, I got engaged. It's the kind of life-altering event I’d hoped to have written in the stars, but it wasn't.
Admittedly, there was a bit of a language barrier. But as someone who’s spent an increasing amount of time writing about astrology — from travelling according to my astrocartography chart to interviewing couples using the stars to choose their wedding dates — I wondered if I'd misunderstood what astrology could offer.
