Seven lenses
The same star is gas to the physicist, a god to the devotee and a coordinate to the navigator. We take all seven lenses seriously, including the one you bring.
scientist
A sphere of hydrogen and helium, fusing.
astrologer
शनि, the slow teacher of karma.
poet
A pinhole in the curtain of the sky.
devotee
The seven sons of Brahma, eyes open.
mathematician
Declination plus right ascension. That is all.
child
It twinkles. Why does it twinkle?
you
X. We do not know yet.
Equanimity is the only honest stance. The scientist is not wrong. The devotee is not wrong. We hold all of them at once, and we let the chart speak last.
