Before we dive into the technical aspects of astrology and how exactly the science works, we must first set the record straight on what exactly astrology is and what it is not, as there are many misconceptions about this science that need to be cleared up. rest. Hopefully this article will be able to do just that.
Astrology, as a belief, is a science that essentially connects your outer world with your inner world to reveal the potentials you have as a human being. This is not to say that the influences of astrology are absolute. The fact that a person has an astrological chart that shows that he will be a great leader of people does not mean that this will necessarily happen. This is where free will comes into play.
Astrological influences are like little strings that pull each person. The influence these strings have on you depends on your own willpower or, in the case of many people, a lack of willpower. For example, astrological influences can cause someone to develop an addictive personality that is prone to problems like addiction to drugs, alcohol, gambling, or a host of other things. The probability of that person actually becoming an addict depends very much on his or her own free will and willpower. This does not minimize astrological influences, which can be very strong, but what it does do is put them into perspective in that they are not absolute. Free will is always the ultimate decider. You can fight against influences, good or bad, or you can give in to them.
Where astrology comes into play is like this. It is easy to predict, using astrology, that you are going to have major changes in your home life. Perhaps external forces beyond your control will force certain changes. For example, the forces may indicate that your home is in some kind of danger, possibly from a storm or fire or maybe even a break-in. Where free will comes in is how you handle this news. You can choose to ignore it and possibly have your house hit by a falling tree, or you can take precautions to avoid it, which may include moving. Ultimately, what you decide to do in response to the intended problem is what will ultimately determine the end result.
Now, in the case of using your free will to wait and see what happens, some people would say that you’re not really doing anything. That may be true. In that case, the normal response to what happens would be that it was fate. This can also be true. But in any case, what you were supposed to learn from these astrological forces, you have learned. If she acted and it turned out well, then she learned to trust his instincts to do something. If you didn’t act and disaster struck, then you’ve learned that maybe you need to be more decisive about things. In any case, fate of no, you learned your lesson from astrological forces. This in itself could be called destiny in the sense that you were meant to learn your lesson this way.
Many astrologers believe that you really don’t have a choice. Ultimately, what you decide to do has already been decided for you by the astrological forces themselves. In other words, if an astrologer tells you that your job is in danger of being lost and you are proactive and get another job before this happens, your actions were determined by the astrological forces themselves, even though it was your own will.
Obviously, that theory will be debated for centuries to come. But the point is, whatever the astrological forces have in store for you, ultimately it’s up to you to decide how to deal with them. Therefore, astrology is not divination. It is simply a warning of things that can happen depending on how you react or don’t react to the circumstances.
