I’m an earth sign. I want tangible results from astrology. Is that expecting too much?
Thanks for any well thought out answers.

You asked: “How exact is astrology supposed to be useful to me?”
Your chart has tools which can be used to help you achieve goals, solve problems and overcome limitations. A circuit breaker mechanic could repair components without using a screwdriver, nutdriver or wrench, but those tools provide a means to make the job easier. They allow a person to work smarter, not harder. So does astrology.
A chart is not useful if it is used mainly as a crutch, excuse or negative enabler. For example, the chart can show what might be patterns of negative behavior and equally negative responses, and a person should use this knowledge to learn more about herself rather than an excuse to stagnate. The chart can also show antidotes for developing positive behavior and responses.
In terms of material, aspects and their placements will show the path of least resistance for making money. On a more spiritual level, the aspects can help with understanding what would bring greater meaning to our life, and show us who would be our best partners and mentors.
Other than that, I’ve also seen tangible results in terms of synastry. I know enough about the math to realize that it’s not coincidence when I see the same repeating pattern in the synastry between myself and persons who come into my life.
Think of it like this: When you meet someone new, it’s like you’re looking into a black hole of nothingness as far as their personality is concerned. Astrology can give you some light in that deep dark tunnel, and thereby shed some insight on who you’re dealing with. This is useful even if the insight is only on a surface level.
Astrology can be applied to sort out inner problems. Solutions are contained within these problems because these problems we have are us acting out what the planets in our birth chart are wanting from us. Of course there are many ways of using our planets, that’s our choice but if you understand what each planet wants from you, then you’re on the way to understanding yourself. It takes a great deal of intuition, but it can be worked on and maybe in some small way we can get to know ourselves better. If you understand that planets need certain ways to express themselves in your chart, then you can use them in this way, if they don’t get the attention they need, then they’ll probably act up just to get your attention. Once you know what the planets want, it’s then up to you. It can make the difference between you living your life as an “out of control victim” or someone who makes distinct choices about how your life unfolds.
Astrology is useful. You need to look up your natal chart and look over your planet placements at birth. There is SO much more to Astrology than your Sun sign. Knowing your Moon, Rising and Venus/Mars is also helpful into gaining insight on why you might react the way you do to things. A lot of the crappy little horoscopes you read in the paper or online somewhere are not that accurate because our charts vary so much, even within the same Sun sign. You really should go look up your birth chart. You’ll need your DOB, place of birth and time of birth. Here’s a link:http://www.0800-horoscope.com/birthchart…
