The question of free-will vs fate has been on my mind a lot lately as i see it on the minds of other people around me as well. I've been meaning to write about how i see these complicated spiritual matters for awhile now so thought i would go ahead and share my unique perspective with you on this subject. I don't expect everyone to subscribe to my line of thinking but i hope you will at least stay open to the possibilities i present to you here.
Astrology clearly shows which people in life will be free-thinkers, and whom will be more open to the theory of fate and prearranged destiny. The free-thinkers usually hate to be controlled in any way and would rather leave all the power within self to make what they will of this human experience, verses relying on outside sources to determine what is possible. On the other extreme some people feel they have no power, or free-will to decide for themselves how life will play out. Is it possible both sides hold truths? From my perspective every truth is only but half truth. If there is no destiny in life then why can astrology even pinpoint these individual preferences to begin with? From what I've experienced people with a lot of Aquarius and Aries energy (not necessarily Sun sign) or a strong Uranus placement in birth chart are typically the rebels of the group because their energy is geared more towards personal freedom, independence and needing to discover what is true for themselves. Although these folks feel they are on a very unique individual path, controlling it all as they go, they most often fail to understand that their personal astrology clearly reflected those preferences from the start. So you see? How can your astrology know this about you if destiny is not true? There is in fact destiny in life on some levels or astrology would not hold true like it has for thousands of years.
This does not dismiss free-will in any way. My secret to this understanding is knowing that we live in a multiple dimensional universe where our time on earth in this present moment is not the same time of spirit and the universal energies of fate. Therefore what seems like "forever" here on earth is only but a "second" there, in spirit. My spiritual philosophy shows us as souls that reincarnate into different planes of existence in order to gain experience and soul growth. I feel every life in connected to the next life and we use our soul's free-will to agree to a particular life path 'before' reincarnation that does indeed have boundaries and limits.
I see this as the universe giving us guidelines for each life based on our last life & choices made in that life which is what i call Karma. Think of it like this: The universe sets a clear path for us that we agree to before birth based on our past-life experience. If looking down on this path from the heights of the divine, it may seem narrow and limiting. However, imagine zooming in closer and closer to our prearranged path on a map - the boundaries would appear to widen further apart the closer we get until so close that the boundary lines become far apart & unseen from the earth perspective. It's no different then using the zoom function on a actual map. So this is our path on the earth walk which seems like we get unlimited options all about free-will yet when we deviate too far in any one direction from our soul's prearranged path we eventually bump into those divine walls and restrictions called Karma and Fate (aka Saturn, North & South Nodes of the Moon that holds our destiny.) Our "free-will" actions in that narrow path are having long term consequences well past what most people understand as your choices in this life effect your next life as well but those possible actions are limited to the boundaries of this current path. Karma isn't necessarily instant. Again, it's the "my time is not your time" understanding. We have free-will each day on how we consciously choose to perceive our life, limits and restrictions. How we feel and think about a situation is everything and will make life better if done long enough but a lot of that positive thinking gets reflected back to us in our next life. Time thing.
To think that there is no larger forces outside of our control effecting our life is a bit delusional. There is no such thing as chance as we are all interconnected thru other dimensions. Just look around at nature and the power of those out-side forces become clear. Did the fish plucked out of the water by a bird choose that experience in that moment? Did the fish have any understanding that its destiny was to be a meal? Perhaps before incarnation but not in that moment at least on a conscious level.. Does my free-will allow me to do whatever i want or become whatever i choose? If i wanted to, could i become president of the U.S. or a NASA scientist at this point in my life? No way. I could try and then quickly bump into my boundaries and limits of my current life path. Astrology doesn't make anything happen, it's only a reflection of what is which was determined by soul and spirit in a different dimension before this incarnation. So your so called free-will choices are being influenced by invisible energies that surround you giving you the desire to think and feel a certain way.
So for all you free-thinking rebels out there, just know that you are not beyond universal law. Your astrology shows that you would be this very way to begin with, right from birth. Perhaps in a past life you gave all your power away feeling as though you had no control and these current rebel urges are just to bring more balance to your soul. What ever individual attachments we die with whether perceived as "good" or "bad" are brought with us into our next life so we can then detach and balance. This is true for the opposite extreme as well - people who put all their power into forces outside of self never recognizing their free-will thru their divine path agreed to before birth. Again, we do have free-will choices within that path, in a way. For those people that have challenging life circumstances perhaps these lessons are needed based on what your soul experienced in other realities of past lives. Everything is for lessons and soul growth. If you do have big challenges in this life which can be seen in your astrology and brought about from past life actions then one lesson for the soul is to learn how to master universal law & life circumstances; that what you do comes back to you at a later time, next life. Our intent in action/choice is one of the most important factors to what comes back around.
"The half-wise, recognizing the comparative unreality of the Universe, imagine that they may defy its Laws — such are vain and presumptuous fools, and they are broken against the rocks and torn asunder by the elements by reason of their folly. The truly wise, knowing the nature of the Universe, use Law against laws; the higher against the lower; and by the Art of Alchemy transmute that which is undesirable into that which is worthy, and thus triumph. Mastery consists not in abnormal dreams, visions and fantastic imaginings or living, but in using the higher forces against the lower — escaping the pains of the lower planes by vibrating on the higher. Transmutation, not presumptuous denial, is the weapon of the Master." — The Kybalion.
So this is our free will choice in life; saying yes or no is possible with some situations within our chosen path if not too fated and if they are fated learning how to accept and make the best of this fate that we choose before birth by understanding and accepting our causation in that and accepting our limitations; learning how to transmute the "negative" into something "positive" yet many will not even attempt but rather stay in self pity by begging to, or praying to outside sources for salvation. Am i saying prayer is bad? Not at all, it helps set the energy in motion but the lesson is to transmute the energy on our own, as we are the God we pray to. Others will just stay in denial and illusion that they have total control which makes disillusionment all that more painful when it comes.
I hope my spiritual philosophy made sense to you but if not, no worries, i'm just sharing my thoughts here.
If you would like to know the karma and life path your personal astrology is reflecting then please think about ordering a reading from me, it could be insightful for you. Thanks for reading about my perspective. I wish you Blessings in this New Pisces Moon cycle.
