FREE WILL And PREDICTIONI.
13. However connected the arts and their subjects, it is impossible to
tell anything definite about the future, and astrologer should not
say about future anything undoubtedly.
There is the main reason forbidding precise predictions:
the Will of God keeping the secrets of the Nature, so the
final knowledge is ever slipping away from the man.
Yet, since the subject of the art is ourselves, and the judgements
depend on ourselves, this connection does influence
the result. By the Will of God.
I.4. Strong positions of stars, which are mediocre in nature,I.74. The beginning of what happens occasionally is in the native’s soul
which pushes him to face the occasion. On the other hand, the
soul is pushed by the sky according to movement of Moon, and
this in not what is from the nature.
-Beautiful aphorism demonstrating that free will is nothing
but an illusion.
The so-called free will is a recent invention. Early Christians
were mainly gnostics and believed in the pre-destined
pattern of life. Think about our art and its predictive
power. If free will existed, then after the first ”free choice”,
the further course of life would be completely different,
unexpected and out of reach of astrology with no chance
to estimate the life evolution. What would be astrology
then? Prediction upto the moment of the free will and
nothing further? The ”free will” arose together with modern
science which na¨ıvely claims infinite human power and
with modern ”psycho-astrology” which is unable to predict.
This is the ”bipolar disorder” of the civilization: we
think about ourselves as gods, at the same time wandering
in the gloomy uncertainty.
I.6. Whoever suddenly achieves great luck, those suddenly suffer great
disasters.
The destiny pattern has a certain amplitude of extremes,
both good and bad. Astrologically, the stronger the chart,
the stronger rise, as well as downfall. Hence, do not envy
the lucky.
I.77. Consider two or three conditions
I.102. The genitures of princes are most true, because they are not under
power of either general conditions or orders of private persons.
The genitures of nobles are true, but under the power of the
sky. Of poor and slaves — not that true, because they are under
power of the sky, i.e., laws, as well as genitures of rulers and
general conditions. Therefore, as some rightly said, offsprings of
rulers are not under power of stars as they are pure.
--There are two truths in this aphorism. Firstly, the charts
of powerful people promise and bring at bigger scale and
with less material obstacles, therefore one can call them
true: their predictions are more prominent and easier to
observe. Secondly, the princes are not under the influence
of the mundane laws, their life is governed purely by astrological
influence. The nobles are governed by both, and
the poor are governed by the mundane influence and the
power of others, and in their case the astrological influence IS MOSTLY BLURRED
