My big fat astro is steemin'!steemCreated with Sketch.

Gross.

I am Patrick Watson, and I'm the guy behind Big Fat Astro, the brand for my business as a consulting astrologer at http://www.bigfatastro.com. My favorite thing to do is to make people laugh and to blow people's minds, so I like to combine low-brow humor with high-brow astrology through my articles on BigFatAstroBlog, my videos on BigFatAstroVlog, and by making memes and causing trouble on Facebook and Twitter. And yes these puns are terrible. They smell like ass...tro. Even my logo is a visual pun of an ass, made from a depiction of a solar eclipse that is so horribly incorrect it would make an astronomer cry.

You may be thinking "Astrology?? I'm outtie, this is some unscientific bullshit up in here". I doubt I can change your mind in a paragraph but fwiw, Warner Heisenberg once said "What we observe is not nature itself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning." I am no enemy of science. Science deals in precise measurements, material and efficient causes, and that's great. Astrology deals in signs, formal and final causes. So of course it's unscientific, but that doesn't diminish its value. Calling astrology unscientific is like going up to a musicologist or an artist and telling them their work is unscientific, and then looking around saying "amirite" like you just made a sick burn. But that congratulatory high five will never come, and instead you will suffer the worst fate of an unrequited high five...to be left hangin'.

I've been studying astrology since the age of 14, and my practice incorporates a combination of modern and Hellenistic techniques and concepts. I use the tropical zodiac and whole sign houses. Some of my content is geared towards people who are starting out, and some of it is for people more advanced in their studies. I've been blogging about astrology since late 2008 amidst the global financial crisis, the same year Pluto entered Capricorn, and the same year that blockchain technology quietly arrived in the world.

I should qualify that as far as blockchain/cryptocurrency stuff I'm a total "normie". I understand it on a basic level, and its disruptive and revolutionary potential is not lost on me. As far as I'm concerned, this is just another social network where I think people will like what I have to share. So I've decided to start sharing some exclusive content on Steemit to see how it does! Hold your breath, 'cause my big fat astro is steemin'!
