Princess Diana used astrology, Anya Taylor-Joy apparently carries around tarot cards, and Kim Kardashian says she visits psychics. Currently, there are 24 million 'tarot' hashtags on Instagram while, in the past year, there's been a 3,750% increase in Google searches for manifestation. What are we looking for? Spiritual meaning? Connection? Assurance that our future is bright? Here's how to make our fascination for foresight work for you.
Astrology
Divination is a constant anchor, helping us navigate trying times, says astrologer, tarot reader and psychic Michele Knight-Waite. 'However, there are times when it peaks: after World War Two, mediums became a trend, while in the 1970s-80s, there was a love of all things magical. It coincides with people seeking liberation and freedom.' It's enjoying a resurgence today too, reflected in the popularity of #witchtok on TikTok, and the 15 million 'astrology' hashtags on Instagram.
Disbelievers view astrology as pseudoscience, but advocates swear by it, even planning events based on favourable days according to their birth chart. Can it be that precise? 'With astrology, I ask for the date, time and place of birth, then give specific details,' says Michele, who explains that birth charts can run into several pages. 'I see the birth chart as a soul map highlighting our unique challenges and superpowers and how to make the most of them.'
