Ok I rephrase, but in fact and answer also ;-)
1. What's the vision behind astrology ?
I always thought it is based on the idea of reincarnation. (which is conservation of spiritual energy).
By astrology it is thus possible to see in what phase the person (the vehicle) is in the karmatic wheel.
2. During the procreation (the act) the free spiritual vehicle connects with the matter (DNA) through the chakra-connections. From that moment spirit and body are joined.
3. After this basic joint the embryo grows. It is still conscious about it's past spiritual life and spiritual entity.
4. But the more the embryo grows the more it is involved in body-related development. Extra material layers make that the attention changes from spiritual to material focus. That's because now the conservation of the new body is most important.
That makes that the spiritual entity 'forget' his past spiritual experiences.
So the foetus has after nine months almost a 'blank' consciousness.
5. The shock/trauma of birth pushes the baby in a new reality. The moment of birth, the place of birth and corresponding positions of planets indicate the future "perception of reality".
You can say: with what colored spectacles will this person see in this life? If he or she has red glasses he or she will see everything with a red shine, etc..
The moment and place gives the Ascendant and Midheaven (most important houses), and exact aspects between the planets.
6. Because the combinations of positions of the planets are unique the same positions will occur only back in about 16,000 years. That makes us unique.
7. Of course the basic physical properties of the person started with: the DNA given by the parents.
and other factors:
8. - the moment of conception which indicates what planet trajectories in the next nine months may excite the growth phases of endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm (see previous),
9. the seasons and light influence.
10. the food and other exogenous factors of the mother (smoking, drugs, smog, radiation, ...).
In my opinion important:
A. The dynamics of life: the social impact related to percept reality (influence of religion, family, school, ...) will also play next to point 5.
B. Astrology - and the karma - include some predestination. This is not absolute. The future has periodical degrees of self-generating repetition: the person will repeat some failures again and again, till he transcends by insight.
C. Astrology predicts that structural problems (spiritual and physical) will be excited when fundamental weak spots are attacked by specific planetary positions (cfr. shielding / lensed). This happens also in positive sense. Example: a 'bad' aspect of some planets including the Moon may repeat every seven days (two squares + one opposition + one conjunction), but also every seven years.
Of course there is more ...
What is your opinion about this?
