Having a calendrical awareness (and awareness in general) is indispensable for developing a good memory. Following astrology creates a schedule, which improves memory. Astrology recommends certain things on certain days, therefore each day has activity recommendations. Activities are charged with associations, emotion, imagery, and locational awareness and these four enhance memory. Memory is indispensable in everything we do.
