AMAZING
-- my own thoughts from practical stuff are VERY similar -- My thinking is that
the planets are a mirror image or us or our karma and mirror image does not
control the main image -- Stars ONLY reflect the past -- fixed/can't be changed
karma and it PROBABLE (not fixed/certain) effects in this life. Yoganand
Paramahansa has expressed the same in his 16th chapter "Outwitting the
Stars" from Autobiography of a yogi!!
Very interesting perspective
of Sri Aurobindo on astrology and spiritual life:
"Astrology? Many astrological predictions come true, quite
a mass of them, if one takes all together. But it does not follow that the
stars rule our destiny; the stars merely record a destiny that has been formed,
they are a hieroglyph, not a Force, – or if their action constitutes a force,
it is a transmitting energy, not an originating Power. Someone is there who has
determined or something is there which is Fate, let us say; the stars are only
indications. The astrologers themselves say that there are two forces, daiva
and purusakara, fate and individual energy, and the individual energy can
modify and even frustrate fate. Moreover, the stars often indicate several
fate-possibilities; for example that one may die in mid-age, but that if that
determination can be overcome, one can live to a predictable old age. Finally,
cases are seen in which the predictions of the horoscope fulfil themselves with
great accuracy up to a certain age, then apply no more. This often happens when
the subject turns away from the ordinary to the spiritual life. If the turn is
very radical, the cessation of predictability may be immediate; otherwise
certain results may still last on for some time, but there is no longer the
same inevitability. This would seem to show that there is or can be a higher
power or higher plane or higher source of spiritual destiny which can, if its
hour has come, override the lower power, lower plane or lower source of vital
and material fate of which the stars are indicators. I say vital because
character can also be indicated from the horoscope much more completely and
satisfactorily than the events of the life."
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing.
