Florida has been through the wringer more than a few times; the most recent source of devastation was September’s Hurricane Ian, a massive Category 4 Atlantic hurricane that proved the deadliest to strike Florida since 1935. Huge amounts of damage was caused across Cuba, South Carolina, and - of course - Florida. The hurricane left the affected area reeling, with at least 140 people dead, and over $67 billion in property damage, mostly from flooding, and particularly in Fort Myers Beach and Naples.

The storm left millions homeless or without power, with many seeking refuge on their own rooftops to escape the floods. Over 2.4 million in Florida alone were without power in the hurricane’s wake, and it’s estimated that many of the people still missing may be found dead. Homes were flattened; cars drowned in the deluge; boats (recreational and commercial) thrown around like toys. The damage is nearly unfathomable.

In the aftermath, as Florida struggles to rebuild, new challenges pop up all the time. Teachers are leaving the schools as their homes were destroyed and they’re forced to move. Hordes of mosquitoes have descended upon the standing water, a source of torment to the survivors. And even more dire, the families of the missing wait grimly for news of loved ones.

Faced with nowhere else to turn, distraught Floridians are seeking comfort anywhere they can - some with religion, some by pouring themselves into the effort to rebuild; but anyone can take a few minutes and find solace by reading their horoscope and looking to the stars.

The Pew Research Center conducted a poll in 2017 and found that nearly 30% of Americans have some belief in astrology - and about 70 million people in the US read their horoscope daily, according to the American Federation of Astrologers. For scoffers who question its accuracy, the question for Floridians right now is merely how much comfort it can bring in this time of trial.
