Astrology is a fascinating study in the interplay of human personality, behavior, and the movement of stars and planets. I am sometimes astounded at the synchronicities that emerge when I compare someone's astrological chart and reading with their actual life as it has unfolded in the past, and as it evolves into the future.
That being said, there is a big question that looms in the background, about whether the stars and planets really determine our future.
During a reading a few years ago, the answer was revealed, and it came as quite a surprise. It's not that the stars determine our lives, but that our lives are reflected in the universe around us.
The universe is an amazing place, and in its complexity, there is a sort of design in all this that defies our complete understanding or comprehension. Much like a child peering over to see the tabletop, we are only glimpsing the most elementary aspects of reality.
When you were born, its not that the positions of stars and planets influenced your personality, but that the stars and planets reflected the great event that was your birth. You see, the fact is that the birth of every child is a tremendous event, and the heavens reflect the impact of that event. As such, the stars and planets reveal aspects of your personality and life as a celebration of your birth!
So when a horoscope is cast, it's looking at the mirror of your life in the stars and letting you know the realm of possibility in your life. You are still making choices, still discerning your path, and the stars are merely pointing out influences (known and unknown) in your own interior life that are affecting how you make those choices. It's not Fate; it's still a choice for you to make in your life.
