You know, one thing astrology taught me was (and I'm not an astrologer), is that there definitely is destiny. Certain things
only happen
during certain transits, in our personal lives and collectively too. Time after time I've seen that over the years. So that begs the question, how much is there free will or is it just an illusion too? Perhaps we like to believe that we have a choice when in fact it's far more deeper than that. I think we do have a choice to be loving persons or assholes though even if we are born with our own tempers, influences and characteristics. Although you can't turn any other asshole into a loving person, you can only do that to yourself. That's my two eurocents, as Aragorn would put it.
