AN IMPERFECT ARTIFACT: ASTROLOGY AS A FREQUENCY DIAL

By Michael "Moon" Anticoli

Astrology is not a science.

It isn’t meant to be. It’s a mythic language. A rhythmic lens. A cultural artifact that has endured not because it explains everything, but because it echoes something deeper: our longing for meaning, our hunger for patterns, our need to believe the cosmos might be humming in tune with our becoming.

At MoonTuner, I don’t see astrology as a deterministic blueprint or a prophetic map. I see it as an instrument — like a tuning fork or a vintage radio dial — that helps us attune. Not to fate, but to frequency. Not to certainty, but to possibility.

The chart isn’t a sentence. It’s a story. And like all good stories, it changes depending on when you read it, what you’re feeling, and what you need to hear.

We forget sometimes that astrology is a living language. One that has evolved over centuries, cultures, paradigms. It isn’t pristine. It’s not mathematically consistent in the way modern physics demands. But it is vibrationally consistent. Symbolically resonant. Emotionally real.

This is the imperfect artifact we’ve inherited: a cosmic folk song composed across millennia by seekers, dreamers, mathematicians, mystics, and misfits. When we use it well, it doesn’t tell us what will happen — it reminds us that we’re already participating in what’s unfolding.

Your birth chart doesn’t predict your life. It reflects the opening chord. How you play the melody is up to you.

In my work, I prioritize agency over accuracy. Resonance over rigidity. What matters is not whether a transit is good or bad, but what it tunes in you — what frequency it activates, what invitation it delivers, what opportunity for growth is knocking beneath the chaos.

Astrology doesn’t replace intuition. It invites it. It doesn’t cancel free will. It reveals where it can be most powerfully applied.

You don’t have to believe in the planets for this to work. Just believe in the rhythm of your own life. Believe in timing. Believe in symbols. Believe in the ancient and modern magic of pattern recognition.

Because astrology — in its truest form — is not a belief system. It’s a poetic system of calibration. A relational technology for self-awareness. A symphonic map.

It won’t tell you who you are. But it will help you remember.
