Yeah, there's a laugh!

People argue about whether we have free will, and then they say, "Sure we do".  If I want to go to the movie, I go, stay at home, I do. If I want to date this person I do.  In short, I do what I want to do..free will.

Well, no, they're choices, but those choices are influenced for you, by God, from the"get go".

Paul has said  continually, that "if God wills", certain things are possible, or that things happen.  That doesn't mean that he's going to directly control what each of us does at any given moment..not always.  He doesn't have to.  You've already been programmed to do what he intends.  

What do you mean?  I'm no robot, who automatically does this or that, because God  wants me to?  

Well, yes and no.

When you are born, you are programmed.

How can this happen?  

When and where you are born has a direct effect on you as a human being.  Depending upon where the planets are at that time and place of birth, will determine who you are and what your basic make up will be..personality.

Yes, I believe in astrology to that extent.  

Do I believe the daily papers that tell you what's going to happen each day, no?  The general prediction may come close, but will you meet a tall dark starnger, or come in to money, etc., in all probability that won't occur.

However, your natal chart showing the location of the planets will, in the hands of an  experienced astrologer, indicate  who you are and in general what can be expected in your life. Why?

Because of the energy transmitted to you by those planets at that particular time and place.That is why each of us are unique.  Even identical twins are different, because even the slightest difference in time of birth, effects the influence of the planets.

Another influence on choices made will be your envioronment, your parents, and other persons of influence.  

Do you actually believe that these associations happen by accident? paulnbob
