Astrologin: Das gab es seit 9000 Jahren nicht | Caroline Raasch

Summary

Astrologer Caroline Raasch discusses astrology as a way of interpreting personal and collective patterns—not, she says, as a tool for predicting specific events. She describes people as spiritual beings with an inner direction and argues that life’s challenges can prompt self-understanding and change. These are her spiritual and astrological beliefs, not established scientific or medical conclusions.

Key self-care and personal-development ideas

• Make space for inner reflection. Raasch says constant phone use and information consumption can drown out intuition. She recommends putting the phone away, seeking quiet, and noticing what feels wrong or no longer fits.
• Use inner experience as a guide. A horoscope or other framework may help someone reflect, she says, but its interpretation should resonate personally rather than replace one’s own judgment.
• Take responsibility for choices. Instead of focusing only on blame or waiting for outside forces to fix things, she encourages people to consider what they can change and what they choose to support.
• Pay attention to recurring discomfort. Raasch views persistent dissatisfaction, conflict, or physical symptoms as possible prompts to examine unresolved issues. This is her interpretation; physical or mental health concerns should be assessed by qualified professionals.
• Pursue work that fits your abilities and interests. She argues that people may feel more fulfilled when they develop their individual strengths instead of choosing a path solely for status, security, or others’ approval.
• Accept human limits and mortality. Raasch contrasts caring for the body with treating people as machines that can simply be repaired or extended indefinitely. She emphasizes meaning, consciousness, and human connection.
• Prioritize real relationships. She sees AI as potentially useful for intellectual tasks but cautions against letting it replace human care, shared experience, or connection with other people.

Practical choices and preparedness

• Prepare without panicking. Raasch suggests having basic supplies and some backup power while avoiding fear-driven decisions. She explicitly says she is not a financial expert.
• Align everyday spending with your values. She recommends looking into how food is produced, buying from local farmers where feasible, and supporting regional food systems.
• Reduce participation in things you oppose. Her examples include avoiding products or practices one criticizes and making choices—even inconvenient ones—that reflect the kind of society one wants.
• Create room for children’s individuality. She encourages parents to seek learning environments that allow children more freedom, rather than focusing only on grades or conventional expectations.

Astrology and forecasts

Raasch presents the zodiac as a set of different ways of responding to life, not a ranking of people’s awareness or worth. She also describes astrological cycles as shaping broader historical periods. Her forecasts include a period of major social change extending into the 2040s, with heightened tensions in the near term. These are her astrological predictions, not verified forecasts.
