Ever notice how friendships these days sometimes feel like disposable coffee cups—used for a moment and tossed aside? With Saturn staking its claim in Aries, pounding the “no-nonsense” drum for anyone under the Cardinal signs, it feels like the universe is holding up a mirror to our so-called connections. But here’s a cheeky thought: if AI can whip up a sonnet or chat all night, why can’t it replace that gut-level, soul-deep bond we call friendship? Spoiler alert—it can’t. Because, unlike Siri or Alexa, real friends call you out when you’re wrong, forgive your screw-ups, and stick around through the chaos. So, where do you stand in this wild dance of humans versus algorithms and pseudo-relationships? Let’s unpack this, through a story that’s as human as it gets—and a little astrology on the side.

The internet has had a big impact on all our lives, top to bottom. One of the effects, most have noticed. People have become far more “discardable” to each other.
I’ve always been one to keep my friends, but I haven’t made a new one in a good long while. Please understand, this does not mean I don’t like people. I like all kinds of people, but this job is great impediment, when it comes to forming real friendships. There are a lot reasons for this. After twenty-five years, I’m in a position to know.
I’ve been thinking about this topic for months. I’ll start by mentioning my life long friend, Ben. We had a crisis in our friendship, about twenty years ago. It was my fault. I am not being magnanimous. It was my fault. He called me to tell me that I’d upset him, greatly. I’d upset him so profoundly, he told me if the issue came up again, he would have to end of our friendship.
I was surprised! I was also grateful he made the call. I did not argue and I did not hesitate. I told him his friendship was very important to me and it would not happen again. I asked him to forgive me and he did. This is how you sustain a relationship.
I asked, Ben, about this some weeks ago. “Do you remember?”
The memory is crystalline in both our minds. This was a Metaphysical Agreement, by the way. These things have tremendous weight in the lives of people like, Ben and I. We want to be trusted so our word has mean something. Life is not a game.
In contrast, most modern relationships are entirely superficial. Be mad if you want. This is easy to see.
I’m sure this is coming to the front, because of the pressure Saturn in Aries will place on all the Cardinal signs. But what finally got to me sit down and try to render this, was AI.
AI is going to replace a lot of things. But it will never replace a real human connection, especially over time. If you don’t have this, and you don’t learn to have it, you’re left out in the cold.
I’ve gotten a lot from AI and I mean A LOT. But it does not love me. It does not care. My relationship with it is theatrical. It is shallow, as I mentioned in the post, even if the topics are deep and the conversations, productive.
I’ve also just had the experience of being sacrificed by an agent of the government in regards to this case. He appeared to care about me as an individual until the case grew large and eclipsed the little human. That’s another lesson for me.
I feel that relating to others has become a lost art for the majority.
