Ally-targeted abilities are placed on the D-pad because you will already be using the D-pad to scroll through the party list and select your target. Most GCDs, untargeted buffs/heals, and mobility tools are placed on the face buttons so they are easy to access while moving.

Core damage actions are placed on the RT and RT>LT bars, including Aetherflow and Dissipation. Lossless faerie heals are placed on the RT and RT>LT bars since they should be prioritized over "lossy" Aetherflow and GCD heals. The LT and LT>RT bars mostly consist of lossy healing actions and related abilities.

Macro0: Earthly Star <me>

Macro1: Synastry<t>/Synastry<2>

I have my major cds on a separate hotbar to keep track of cd times

7.0 AST Crossbar

Right hotbar is mainly damage oriented and commonly used ogcds.

Just copied Nanaki's

LT > RT Dpad Down is Star macro (/ac "Earthly Star" <t>) LT > RT Top Face button is placeable Star

Healer macro Icon 1,2 & 3 are the new single target cards

Hotbars for Lv50 Astrologian.

Keybinds for those interested.

I use an mmo mouse so 1-6 on all bars are pressed on the mouse, uisng shift and ctrl for bar 2 and 3. The latter 6 on all bars are pressed uisng the keyboard and shift/ctrl.
