* January 6 was highly charged with astrological energy, including a star connected to chaos and destruction and an astral placement on January 6 that triggered a the energy of a previous eclipse.
If you’re gonna be honest, you have to take a holistic view, which is looking at all angles. You don’t.

As far as we know, astrology is not scientifically testable. What counts as “highly charged with astrological energy” is a matter of belief, not empirical evidence. On the differences between astrology and astronomy, NASA says "astrology is based on the belief that the location of certain stars and planets in the sky can predict the future or describe what a person is like. While astrology is important to some cultural traditions, its claims are not based on scientific evidence." 

While there was an eclipse in late 2020, there isn't any evidence that the January 6 planetary positions “triggered” former eclipse energy like some astrologers may claim. 

Can't be true or false (Opinion, poem, etc.)

I think it's good that you brought up NASA's difference of astrology and astronomy and that astrology cannot be tested scientifically. I still think that the saying "highly charged with astrological energy" is a bit vague and not actually factual. These ideas are more as metaphors even though there is no actual evidence of eclipse energy. It makes me think if fact-checking should only consider scientific evidence or should also consider the reasons why people actually hold certain ideas. You did a good job of emphasizing the evidence, but maybe we could also discuss how to deal with non-scientific ideas. What are your thoughts?

Just to add a comment in response to your claim, I don't not think this is true but i also don't think the stars aligned in the universe as some would say and made this event take place. It has been known that sometimes the moon and other constellations can be used ritualistically. there isn't much scientific backing behind this, if any but a lot of people do practice these things. Though i don't necessarily think it is the reason october 6th happened i do think it is coincidental. It may go beyond deeper than what humans can ever figure out and maybe thats the point but for now people like this will probably just keep being regarded as 'crystal girls'(people)and normal people will either keep laughing at them or minding their business.
