Modern astrology combines traditional methods with a focus on personal growth and self-awareness. It emphasizes psychological insights, helping individuals understand their emotions, behavior, and life paths. Techniques like evolutionary astrology and astrocartography guide personal development. Online tools and apps have made astrology more accessible than ever.
 
Many commentators tend to emphasize the psychological and evolutionary aspects of modern astrology while minimizing the many technical innovations the many modern schools contributed. Do not overlook the technical strides made in the 20th Century in Western astrology in terms of timing and predictive techniques.
Secondary (aka Major), Tertiary and Minor progressions were promulgated and extensively developed, and the Uranian and Cosmobiology schools put forth the use of Solar Arcs, the extensive use of midpoints, as well as other tools. The Western Sidereal school added many techniques, new ways of using Solar and Lunar returns, progressing returns, the resurrection and new uses of ingress charts, and the use of the sidereal day in progressions. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, the Harmonic and Vibrational schools applied mathematical modeling and analysis to astrological practice. In addition is the level of precision in astrological calculations made possible by advances in computer technology and software.
These are only a few of the contributions made by modern astrologers.
It's really incorrect to overlook these modern developments and minimize their contributions.

Yet there is no personal contact between teacher and student to ask, show why, and answer the many queries the beginner has, even with modern AI techniques and Ipodcasts that require mere acceptance of facts given.

Not every student is theoretically-minded, and would prefer an active, or practically physical, or visual approach towards a subject that is hard to prove at the best of times, and in which they can offer their own perspectives towards knowledge through understanding. The teacher may not always be right, but neither is a computer only as good as the insights of its programmer.
 
I neglected to mention the creation and use of Cosmodynes by the Church of Light, a method of calculating various traditional measures of the relative power of planets in the natal chart into one numerical index, another modern innovation.
