For those that believe in and practice astrology:
It’s understood by most who believe in and practice astrology that the planets affect our lives and have some magical properties depending on how one wishes to describe things. How do you all feel and think about our scientist relabeling the planets and redefining what a planet is? What effect will this have on astrology if any?
Do you feel there is a way for us to test and measure if another planet or celestial body has a magical influence on us? Is so how? If we find another large or small planet should we adjust the astrological tables?
Once humanity leaves Earth and ventures to Mars and beyond, from those new locations our perception of the night sky and thus the stars will be very different. We will not be able to see certain familiar constellations and new ones could be created and discovered. How do you all feel or think we could determine if those new combination of stars hold any significance to our lives and have any magical effects over us? What forms of measurement could we use to determine this?
Right now astrology is completely Earth centric (based on our perception of being here on earth). Once we travel away from earth things quickly change. How do you all feel this will affect us, affect astrology and magic as a whole? Can astrology survive if we leave the earth, what about magic and paganism in general?
Our ancestors gave us what we have today. Once we become the ancestors, what are we going to leave for our children?

Many here speak of using different forms of magic. How do you all feel these forms came to be ‘magical’? Before candles where invented we had stones and herbs, so how did candles become magical?
When you as individuals say you practice a form of magic such as candle magic, do you feel it’s a form all it’s own and the candles hold the key to the magic, how and why?
Or are they only a source of focus? If they are simply a source of focus why call it candle magic as this would mean they are mundane items only?
If they are indeed magical than as above how did they become so and what new medium(s) do you feel will become magical in the future if any?
How do you think said medium(s) will become magical? Is it through the popular use of it as a magical implement and thus through the agreed popular conscience of all of us that it becomes magical? What are all of your thoughts on this?
Is there any one here that feels there is only one type of magic or energy and everything else is simply a focus to help channel it? As in that there is no such thing as candle, herb, stone, etc. magic and that they are simply the focus by which our Will channels through and that these items are only precieved as magical through pop culture both past and present?
