Astrology Made Sensible

It's real simple. Everything is cyclical, and 99% of free will is an illusion. The same patterns keep playing out, like a fractal on a treadmill. By and large, people born at THIS position in the cycle are more likely to have THESE traits and go through THESE events, as opposed to people born at OTHER positions in the cycle. Now, there's also a lot of random noise, and the 1% of free will that does exist is by nature unpredictable, so even the best and most accurate astrology can never be anything more than a series of guideposts. In ancient times, when things were less complicated and individual will had less power, the patterns were clearer, clear enough to mark off by the stars they saw in the sky. But like the story of the finger pointing at the moon, they confused the stars as INDICATORS of what position the cycle was in with the stars as the DETERMINATOR of what position the cycle was in. And most people are dumb and uneducated, and 99% of free will is an illusion. Which brings us to today. And so ends today's lesson.
