Does Astrology Determine your Fate?
We can always make choices, but can we change who we are?
Astrology determines our temperament, our energy and how we focus our lives. In as much as these things are fated to set the course of our lives, astrology determines our fate. |
Similar to the way our genes determine our looks and the way we age, astrology determines our temperament, our energy and how we focus our lives. Our genetics are fixed, and the same is true of our astrological composition. It is charted at our birth, and it will never change. In this way, astrology does determine our fate. Our lives are colored by our signs, and no matter how hard we try, we can never change them. A Capricorn always behaves like a Capricorn. A Scorpio always behaves like a Scorpio. We are fated to the unique gifts and challenges that comprise each of the twelve signs. Some are more mature than others. Some are more engaging, or analytical. Some have more perseverance than others while some have the gift of sociability. But no sign is better than another. Each has it's own strengths, weaknesses and energy. The key is to learn how to live through our signs with a depth of understanding that gives constructive insight into minimize our weaknesses and maximize our strengths.

Our Zodiac Signs describe our Fated Temperament...

Try to spend a full 24 hours behaving in a way that is contrary to your natural behavior. Choose behaviors that you see as preferable to your normal ways, or even choose those you perceive as worse. Either way, you'll find it quite difficult to change your "normal" ways.
The foundation and framework for our "normal" ways of behaving is found in our temperament. Our temperament represents our most base-line and primal, almost instinctual ways of behaving while dealing with our world. Things like our patience, our distractibility, our level of self-control, our tendency toward anger, our emotionality, are all described by our temperament. Where you born with the patience and perseverance of fixed signs: Taurus, Scorpio, Leo or Aquarius? Where you born with the distractibility and impatience of the mutable signs: Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo or Pisces? The qualities of your temperament determine these things and your temperament is determined by your astrological signs. These qualities are fixed for life. Even the most monumental effort to change them will always end in the recognition that we cannot change our temperament. It is embedded within us and woven into our fabric. In this way, our signs describe our fate, because they determine whether it's either easier or more difficult for us to do certain things. So, in the long run, our temperament, which is defined by our signs, makes it either more easy or difficult for us to go in various directions in our lives. If you are impatient, you are not likely to excel in a career that requires patience. If you were born a perseverant person, you are likely to choose long, challenging endeavors. These choices become the road of your life and in fact they chart your fate.

The feeling other people experience in your presence emanates from the energy of your signs. In other words, the energy of your signs describes how other people see you. The majority of this energy comes from the element of each sign. Second to this is the modality. The unique energy of each sign is based on a combination of the energy of both the element and modality it represents:
These energies are unchangeable. An Aries cannot simply decide not be igniting and empowered. It's their essence, and in turn, largely determines their fate. The people who enjoy and need Aries' energy are fated to be the people in their lives. The types of challenges overcome by using Aries' unique energy are the challengers Aries people are fated to overcome. It's such a simple concept, yet the insight in brings to why we've lived the life we've lived so far and where our lives are likely to go the in future is deep.

Your Planets' House Placements describe your Fated Life's Focus...
|
Having your sun, moon or any of the personal planets in a certain house, makes the issues of that house a focal point of your life. This effect is intensified by having more than one of these planets in a certain house. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto have large effects on houses as well, but their presence brings more of an overall feeling to the house rather than direct intentions, focus, effort and interest. But, they all have a role to play in our fate. If you have Pluto in your fourth house, you will feel the tug of power issues in your home life throughout your life - making you fated to this experience. If you have your sun, Mercury and Mars in your seventh house, you feel invigorated by friendships and partnerships. You want to communicate with them frequently and you get what you want through them. It's your focus and it is fated in your life.

A True Understanding of Astrology is Key to Understanding your Fate...
The Gemini who sees their tendency to be insensitive and claims they can change it if they work on it, doesn't understand astrology or how it describes our fate. A real understanding of astrology moves you beyond this misconception and into a realm where you own your weaknesses and learn to overcome them with self-understanding. If it's a weakness truly inherent to your signs, it's part of your nature. Dealing with it is part of your fate. It isn't a problem that is in your life temporarily and can be discarded by decision. By recognizing it as part of who you are, you avoid the constant cycle of failure you experience in trying to discard something that can't be discarded. It's better to recognize a weakness, such as, insensitivity as a tendency that you can work on improving. It's a matter of increasing your level of self-awareness. Geminis who are self-aware can anticipate their insensitivity. In situations where they tend to fall into their insensitive ways, they can see it coming and call upon their strength of clear verbal communication to temper their weakness of insensitivity. They can take an extra second to find words that don't cut. They are never going to have the empathy of a Pisces or the tact of Sagittarius, but they can use their clever minds to craft sentences that are considerate of peoples' feelings. When we accept ourselves in our entirety and recognize the fate of our signs, we can enjoy our strengths and use them to neutralize our weakness. Balancing ourselves in this way allows us to feel stronger and have more self-control.
