Without ANY freedom of will, nothing is anyone's fault. All are born without sin, and cannot sin during their lifetime.
So you agree? There is free will?

eh
I don't want to imply that there is absolutely no free will in life. But I've known so many Moon square Venus people in my life. I seem to attract them though I don't have this placement myself. And I watch them make the same relationship mistakes over and over again, so it makes me believe their free will is continually directing them into relationships that will prove emotionally unsatisfying while they blame the other person and consider themselves martyrs to the situation. So the point of astrology is to see where these pitfalls lie and do something about it.
We do not control our lives.
We insist that we have free will because free will implies control over our lives. To think that we do not have control is unthinkable; it is terrifying.
But free will is an illusion.
Knowing this to be so, I then act as if I have free will.
Even so, I often see that my free will is controlled by unconscious forces, and is not free.
Every horoscope has a 12th house. It is the house of "repressed content", of "self-defeating acts", of "bondage". We are in bondage to our repressed (unconscious) content, and this causes us to act in ways contrary to our own good...will notwithstanding.
El Libre Albedrio (free will) es una Ficcion.
Since the Big Bang the universe, in its entirety, has developed without a hint of free will...until we come along.
We alone, among all creatures, organic or inorganic, possess free will.
Let's go to Las Vegas and see what kind of proposition the odds-makers will give us. You can bet on one thing certain: it will be a losing proposition.
Let's get married. I think you will make an excellent wife, except for a couple of minor flaws...which I will get you to change. Just a question of willpower you know. Forty years later, same defects, no change.
In Exodus (the book, not the movie) God says, "I am that I am." I wonder what that means.
It could mean something like "What you see is what you get...take it or leave it".
When it comes to dealing with our Saturn-driven economic system, some Charts are less functional than others. Some Charts are more inclined towards mental and physical health problems than others. Does that make them "bad Charts"?
To me that's just arguing technical terms. You can say "nothing is good or bad it just depends on how you look at it" about anything. So you can tell the parents of a 5 year old with leukemia that its only a bad situation because they are perceiving it that way. Which I think is utter nonsense.
No. There’s no equivalence.
Yeah, not really any equivalence at all. Your chart represents your potential, how you play it out in your life (good or bad) is up to you. Your child getting Leukemia is a diagnosed illness, there is no ambivalence or potentiality about it.
I think his point was that it is possible to designate a chart as being either good or bad. Yes, it's completely subjective. But it's still possible.
The karmic interpretation is like the Dylan lyric, "Watch out kid, it's something you did, God knows when but you're doing it again."
Maybe you can put your post in a plain, normal way, so I can understand it better.
The karmic doctrine is such that, one's Natal-chart configuration is the result of actions committed in the previous life, even though one has no memory of them. By making the best of a difficult Chart-configuration, one can earn a less difficult configuration next time around.
So you think a chart can be difficult?
Definitely.
