I greatly appreciate all the effort that Astrologer50 has put into this "welcome", but I do not see astrology as a form of psychology. Nor would most licensed psychologists see astrology as a branch of their discipline, although a few would.
Astrology pre-dated psychology by millennia, and will no doubt persist after psychology has morphed into something else. Mundane astrology (earthquakes, tsunamis) or weather prediction may not even require human actors.
Also astrology does very much does speak the language of outer, concrete events, just not the language of events that are not 100% predictable; and of some types of events, not at all.
Nor does astrology require "poignancy" in its questions.
It is great to tell people about different house systems, but why personalize the "welcome" to prefer one house system or "modern" astrology? If this is to be a generic "welcome" why refer to Astrologer50 in the first person at all?
I will take this up with the moderators on our board, if one of us hasn't done so already.
Ultimately I am not sure what this "welcome" accomplishes beyond the Forum rules.
