Do you believe in Astrology ?
Why?
Why not?
I don't believe in Astrology because it doesn't require belief--it obviously exists.
I think we always have to be critical thinkers, so "belief" may be too strong a word.
I have studied astrology for the past 26 years. There is the good, the bad, and the ugly. I don't believe in bad astrology. I think good astrology has merit.
I was actually asking if you believe astrology really works ... some things occasionally happen in my life and I start questioning it all over
Trying to figure out if we should be using trad or modern, relocation chart or natal requires great amount of study time which can be a problem if you don't actually have that time

1973. The fact that I've moved across the Atlantic gives me a very different relocation chart than my natal. That perplexes things. It makes it difficult to decide what actually works and what does not.I think some Charts (like mine) make it VERY easy to see Astrological correlations in everyday life. Astrology informs my world-view to such an extent, it's not just a means to an end, such as prediction or self-analysis, although it's that as well. The way I now view Astrology, it's both egalitarian and essentially non-judgemental, since I don't believe we choose our Charts or the circumstances into which we are born. I originally thought Earth-sign placements in particular made Astrology seem illusory and unreal, but that hasn't been the case with the younger generations. What year were you born?
I believe that astrology works, and fwitw I believe that your question is similar to asking if a higher power ordered the universe, and then left markers for us. Or, to put it a more Uranian way, I believe that astrology works because time is not linear. Everything is connected ("Trust the Force, Luke) and the past, present and future are all happening simultaneously. I believe that if you believe in God, however you perceive her/him, then it follows that you ought to believe in divination.
And at the end of the day, I study traditional astrology, because I believe that prediction is possible based on what I previously stated. "There are more things, Horatio..." I have seen too many accurate horary charts to NOT believe astrology works.

Something else to add to your perplexity!Just what you need, right? Whole-sign Mars in Aries is in the 8th.
LOL Thanks ... for the help
What does that mean David? What wouls Mars in Aries is in the 8th mean?
I do have some clues on thatStrong transformational ability. Use it wisely (which you already know).
True!I think Virgo Asc would cause you to question whether Astrology "works", whereas Sagittarius Asc would cause doubt as to whether you need it at all, whether it works or not.
Of course, it makes sense the natal chart is stronger especially concerning personality. However, every placement, whether I use whole signs or placidus, natal or relocation, seems to have merit regarding prediction work, transits etc.And then, there's that saying "wherever you go, there you are". Seems to me, "there YOU are" would be about your original Natal-chart, but that's just my opinion. There are some very good Astrologers who believe otherwise.

The question is what should I take into consideration when I want to use astrology as an aid tool in making important decisions?
They both do wonders.That's because you can, by virtue of your Natal-chart, make practical decisions using intuition and experience alone.
lack of time, I'll reply laterIn hindsight, which Astrological configuration has been most correct when checked against past decisions, the results of which you already know? It doesn't matter what works for others, just what works for you!
I don't know. Some things really comfirs and it's not a coincidence. I'm kinda in between. Why notDo you believe in Astrology ?
Why?
Why not?
