by Robert Wilkinson

Yesterday’s article ”How Astrology Relates to the Sources of Human Suffering" offered an introduction to the way destiny and free will intersect in astrology, and how some of our mental hardwiring sets us up to suffer through our attachments, aversions, illusions and delusions, and the mind’s inherent pessimism. Today we discuss how to antidote these sources of suffering.

How Astrology Relates to the Sources of Human Suffering

by Robert Wilkinson

Astrology teaches that everything is determined by "free will" except for two things: 1) To be born where you were, when you were, into a certain family, and 2) The timing on when certain choices will be offered. Everything else seems to be dependent on someone’s "free will," whether ours, our parents, our bosses, and so forth. Still, astrology does not tell us how we will choose, or in any way negate our responsibility to act as best we are able.
