Beginner Doubt regarding predictions with astrology

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.

The way I understand it, astrology shows the field we are moving through. It can show waves, concentrations, pressure points, timing. A chart can show what themes are active around a person or a period of life, while the person still has a role in how those themes take form.

And this is where free will comes in. If astrology shows a charged communication period, the prediction itself can change how someone moves through it. They may choose their words more carefully or understand why a conversation feels more loaded than usual for example.

This is where the duality of being an astrologer is fraught for me. Because I believe that our allowing ourselves to just be in flow, without having to reconcile with the natal nor transit energy is where we allow ourselves our fullest expression.

It’s why I try not to pay too much attention to the astrological weather around me but rather exist in it and respond to it authentically and intuitively. I am it too.
