How Does Freewill Relate to Astrology? Q:    How much does free will really have an effect, that is, as opposed to a person’s being in a set astrological mold until they have advanced sufficiently to have a highly developed mind? A:    We are the ones who establish which astrological configurations we are going to be born under and, as Egos on the Astral Plane, wait specifically until these things come about before incarnating. Essentially, the astrological configurations at the time of your birth reveal character, the kind of things you plan to work on, and the experiences you choose to have in this lifetime. It’s like an indication or a signboard to anybody as to what your intentions are and what kinds of tasks you want to work on. Your natal configurations tend generally to contain the same indicators as were operant the last time you died. There are many different combinations that can give you the same effect, but it indicates what kinds of channels will be open at certain times as your natal chart is progressed. But, since you have free will, you are the one in control all the time. The same tendencies may be in different peoples’ charts, but they may apply to many different kinds of activities that people may happen to be into; one might be in medicine, one in manufacturing, etc. Astrology doesn’t mean you are locked into some kind of predestination, it just shows what channels you want to have open, and the events you want working in your life. It is your “blueprint” for this particular lifetime, but even then, it is none too precise. (01-1986)
