I have seen these worried eyes on the faces of many people who have asked me to look at their charts. This girl is in possibly the most insecure role possible for a woman in history; that of a servant in a harem. It is no wonder her future might appear bleak to her… the discussion of free will no longer matters, when you are in servitude, emotional or practical.
nice blog, you bring up many interesting ideas in philosophy, but i disagree here. insecurity can be found in both sides- those who adamantly protest against astrology could be considered insecure because they are afraid of ideas that impede on free will. and the fact that they protest against it without having studied it thoroughly only makes them seem just as ignorant as anyone. How would the general population think of astrology if they knew that many great scientists such as Galileo Galilei and Johannes Kepler actually studied astrology? Just look up how many scientists studied astrology and it will seem strange that we refuse to examine astrology thoroughly.
oh yes, indeed.
You find strong prejudices no matter where you look. I reject easy dichotomies, and when I wrote that, I was mostly thinking of people who refuse to keep an open mind about the occult. It’s too bad, too, because there really are no definitive answers, just questions, and humility in the face of the unknown makes a lot of sense to me.
