Astrology is like economics. It can not predict the future perfectly, there are too many variables. For an individual, his future depends not only on the time of his birth (and the position of the Earth/Planet/Stars), but also his past karma as well as all his actions in his present life. So with all these variables, it is almost impossible to predict his future accurately. But you can predict 'good' and 'bad' periods in his life and general trends during his lifetime.
The question is why should the position of planets and stars affect human beings? This is because each Planet and Star, far from being just a physical object in a fixed orbit, is also a 'God' (some may prefer 'angel' but they are really gods).
Saturn for instance is a powerful God and its position has a powerful effect on each human being (see
Saturn return - Wikipedia or Sade Sati as it is known in India). This may be hard to believe for most 'scientific' people, but soon the Christ will Return to Earth and with him, he will bring much of this lost knowledge of astrology. We will still not be able to predict the future perfectly, but we will be able to understand astrology better.
How do you propose Saturn has an effect on people? Through a known physical mechanism or through a magical force?
I was looking at some random readings (not my signs).
What kind of first impression do you think I give?
"The impression that I get is of someone who may be shy, reserved, or maybe even a bit awkward at first glance (Capricorn sun, Pisces rising), but warms up to others when you get to know them. This is because of the heavy emphasis of the elements of water and earth in your chart, which are typically not as outgoing as the elements of fire and air. However, I do get the sense that you tend to care deeply about others (whether it's friends or the larger collective), even going above and beyond for them at times — especially where it pertains to their well-being and support."
Wow. Almost every person ever would say this fits completely or to some degree. This would be considered a hit 9 out of 10 times. The only reason it works is because everyone feels they are so unique and don't realize most people generally have similar feelings in these regards. When asked about what music they like how many people have you heard say "Oh I like a crazy amount of music, I'm so eclectic, and then lists a bunch of modern common pop, rock, metal, and hip-hop
What does the chart suggest about my love life or approach to romance?
"Even though you may not want to admit it (sorry, Cap sun, Virgo moon), you are a romantic at heart. When you love, you love fiercely and you love deep and may even experience trouble with letting people go or getting over heartbreak. At most, you need a die-hard romantic just like you who's emotionally intelligent and willing to dive to the depths with you in the name of love. This means you'll have to watch out for emotionally stunted types that take advantage of your ginormous heart while being unwilling to grow or share the emotional labor in the relationship."
Yup, we all love romance, we all fall heavy (it's called natural opiates and such), breakups suck, this is all known brain stuff. Again, some folks get the idea that being like this is unique and they think this is an amazing hit.
What does it mean that so many of my houses are empty?
"It doesn't mean anything major, except that the houses that contain planets are where more of your energy is expressed or concentrated. Empty houses still get mileage in the chart, often when planets transit through them.
Oh wow, we put energy into certain things and not others? Incredible. It's like they know me?
What do you make of all the celestial bodies I have in Capricorn?
"Capricorn is a sign that is all about structure, rules, authority, and responsibility. But, your stellium is in the 11th house and your ruler, Saturn, sits in the imaginative and dreamy 12th house. That tells me that you're here to make your own rules in a way that looks very different from what was done in the past. In many ways, you strive to change the game."
Even for people who are rule followers, upon hearing this you fit it into your experience. Yeah, I do my own thing! People pay money for this?
What, in your opinion, is the most important, significant, or striking part of my chart?
"I think the overall theme that I pull from your chart is how important authenticity and staying true to yourself really is for you. While you have an innate ability to connect, share, and bond with others, you have to make sure the needs of others don't drown out your ability to fully be yourself."
I knew the last would be the most cheesy. Yes anyone who hears that "staying true to yourself really is for you" is going to be all "YES, yes that is so true!" The "innate ability to connect, share, and bond with others", obviously fits most. "you have to make sure the needs of others don't drown out your ability to fully be yourself."" another generic bumbling that will ring true for everyone but doesn't mean much. It's wisdom that sticks with you long enough for you to pay the 100$ reading bill and not feel scammed. You were scammed.
