If Astrology is so accurate, do we actually have free will?

Today I started a research of my past Jupiter transits in order to find deeoer astrological truths yet I ended up in the arms of Pluto retrograde, diving deep in shadow work as I went through some heavy past transits of Pluto, Saturn, Lilith, 8th house accompanied by many hard, painful experiences.

I went through my teenage & univeristy times transits taking notes with educational purpose as I always want to understand deeper how each transit can show up in reality. I love the most to learn through experience, in empirical way, not just by studing books. Life itself is the greatest teacher in the end;) But thos research turned to be a very therapeutic process for me as well. Well, what I was expecting having such turbulent & traumatic life behind me and putting myself in the role of experimental psychological object.

Such plutonian experience to observe your own transformations... challenges... lessons... moments when you wanted nothing more that stop living because the pain was so strong... followed by moments when light came back after the hardest storms...

No matter in how huge shit you are, you never know when suddenly you will bloom again in full glory. Pluto...Death & Rebirth...

Btw, the accurancy of timing in astrology is mindblowing! I could easily connect events in my life with transits of that moment. Such incredible how this all works like in a clock. Cycles, learning, changes... Even medical problems were so in tune with what was going on in my transit chart. I am studing astrology since I was a girl, yet I can't stop being in awe over how this all works so perfectly.

And any time I do astrology research using empirical methods which I trust the most (as reality is giving me evidence that astrology works, simple as that) I always wonder... are we really free? Does free will even exist? Or is it all determined in the end?

How much freedom in choosing our destiny, our next step do we actually have?

Ask me?

I don't know.

And to be honest, I don't think anybody knows 100%.

The only thing I know - because I experienced that myself & with my clients- is that natal chart shows who you are & transits reflects events in your life. How? I don't know. I think there is still so much we do not understand about the Universe. So much more to discover.

I just stay humble in my limitations as human to know all the answers, and open to deeper existential understanding when the right time will come.

For now, I see it as both free will & determinism mixed together creating our reality. We can make choices but we can't control everything. Life is an art of balance between "I am the captain of this ship"

& "I follow you Universe"

I believe there is a lot you can do & change, but there are also bigger forces at play which we might be not able to overcome so easily.

Choose wisely and at the same time flow with trust... at least, that's what I am trying to do.
