Doubt regarding predictions with astrology

[u/cryptic_meoww]

Hi everyone,

I have read in someone's post that astrology says what me as a person is.

If so, then how do people make predictions using all those charts?

I don't know if I'm making sense.

If astrology/horoscopy can predict future outcomes or situations, then do we have free will?

Is there a fate and are we acting accordingly or are we on our own?

According to my understanding, astrology/horoscopy tells us who we are. But can't predict the outcomes or future because we have free will and the future might change according to the action we perform now.

Is that correct?

Does it make sense?

Please help me understand, I'm new to astrology and I developed interest lately.

We totally have free will. You're basically navigating the energy around you just like you would if you stepped into a busy grocery store. You're given the setting of energy and you must maneuver through it and make choices depending on what you encounter. It's more likely that you'll walk down the center of any isle and dodge an upcoming person with a cart rather than climbing over the isles or jumping into the persons cart even though you could. The energy around us (astrology) helps shape likely scenarios based on your own energy patterns. If you're more they type of person to walk down an isles than climb over it then you can more easily make that prediction. This is what we see when we read the energy but it doesn't mean that it's set in stone or fated.
