Recently, many people have begun to seek answers to their questions again in astrology. We looked at the factors that push people to search for facts in the stars.

Charm Torres, an astrologer living in Toronto, Canada, says that with the outbreak of Covid-19, the number of people applying to her has increased. He does not hold one-to-one sessions due to the epidemic, but meets hundreds of customers over the internet.

Most of his clients are from North America, but he also has “queer millennials” like him, many from far away countries like the Philippines from which he originally came.

Some have lost their loved ones in the epidemic. Some are trying to start a new business because they have lost their job in the entertainment or restaurant industry. Others do not know how to spend so much free time at home. What they have in common is a kind of support, a desire to connect, and a desire to find oneself.

Torres says that when life came to a halt in many areas due to the epidemic last year, people “had to turn inside themselves, evaluate their lives, gather what they had in mind.”
