It’s often stated that astrology is about fate. I disagree. Let me cite this analogy though. Take a person born in Neolithic times. S/he can grow primitive crops with his or her tribe or band, but is limited in this scenario. The crops may get a disease and not grow. Any animals captured or secured from nearby may still be wild in temperament and be dangerous. Wild boar, aurochs (ancestors of modern cattle), or wild horses may be difficult to tame. However, without having to forage food, there is the freedom to store grain, or paint, share stories, dance, or partake in spiritual/cultural pursuits. There is freedom to choose a mate, or choose who is the band leader. Similarly a natal chart does impel, though there is always choice. It’s how we make use of the choices in our environments, and the natal chart is no different. Astrology in my mind should be to empower, and not condemn or belittle.
