Guest guest Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Dear Michael: It's always such a fascinating and revealing topic this, free will vs. fate debate. One insight I've gained from Jyotish, is I've discovered a very high correlation between people's belief or inclination to see fate or freedom, and their Jyotish charts. In other words, I've seen those people who tend to believe more, in fate or pre-conditionings, when I've looked at their charts, Ive seen the unmistakable hand of strong or dominant Saturn's! In those charts, that are more believing in possibility of freedom, and self-effort, I've found stronger or more dominant Jupiter's! Somday, I hope, people will come to find how both these qualities exist in life. We obviously have the fatalistic things, because it's all around us. We plant an apple seed, and we're going to get an apple tree! But, if we learn how to graft or manipulate that apple seed, then the possibilities, of other consequences will come up. Examples of these 2 wildly different points of view, in the West, predominantly, and in the East, show us the effect of either believing in freedom or fate. In the West, where this notion of freedom of choice has taken the most hold, we have the most progress, change, and expansion of personal power that the World has ever seen. In the East, to some degree, where the belief in fate has taken hold, the most; personal progress and self-empowerment has been much slower. What I love about Jyotish, regardless of this debate, is being able to explain to every individual the present reasons 'why' he/she is the way that they are. Personally, I believe in both freedom and fate. And, when I look at my chart, I have both Jupiter & Saturn influencing my Moon, simultaneously. But, my Sun in Leo, inclines me to believe in self-improvement and development, so that's what I enjoy. Finally, it's the most inspiring to me to run into those people who would like to improve their lives and are open to discovering why it's been so far elusive. This experience of being able to show how people can improve their malefics in their charts, is the most convincing to me of self-determinism.

Hi fellow members and esteemed astrologers, I am not a follower of the ancient scriptures, but I was told that even some sage(s) differ in their opinion in that some believe in karma(destiny and fate) and some in will power(you are master of your own destiny). I believe in fate(karma), in that God must still be willing to give you the chance to change for the better. Getting advice from an astrologer, whether good or bad, performing the remedies whether correctly of wrongly, and accepting or not accepting the advice is fated. If one has performed much good in present life, some say due to will power and believing in we are indeed masters of our own destiny, we are able to better our lifes. This is also due to karma(ultimately). Don't you think so? One Master told me he got upset when a fellow astrologer told him, "Why are you so serious in your work? Just look at their chart, suggest some remedies, do some prayers for them. Whether their life turns out for the better after that is not your problem. They still need to pay for your services". They were arguing about karma etc. The master got so pissed, he went near to the other fellow astrologer, "Stop talking nonsense. Now I'm going to slap you. Is this my will, or god's will?" If God gives you the chance to do good, be gracious, do the good deeds and better things will happen in your life or next life. If you were meant to murder someone(as example) because both of you had tremendous disputes for however many past lifes, then what am I to say? Or if you stole this person's money or wife in previous life and he/she comes back and do the same to you then its still fate acting, isn't it? One can only pray and perform remedies to a certain extent. Sometimes lying low, acting stupid and pretend to be blur can to a certain extend alleviate a lot of troubles. A person I know received an advice from an astrologer not to go overseas if he wanted to preserve his health/life(he had a weak heart). This man promptly went overseas a few weeks later to visit his daughter. He died overseas. He had good advice but (our)life is in God's hand.
