Does the stars influence the body and human will?

I for one, could not conclusively say yes or no. I personally believe all things are possible and that it is just a question of probability.

However I would like to consider this for a moment and perhaps re-phrase your question to: "Do celestial bodies have an influence on the human existence."

Astrology is basically about observations of human existence and making a correlation between those observations and the position of celestial bodies.

I propose this proposition. Since gravity and magnetic forces are known to be a very influential forces in the universe. And their effects are observed even at atomic and sub-atomic levels. It is not possible that these forces would also have an effect on embryonic development? Should such an influence actually exist this would explain the consistency in the observations and well as the divergences.

I have been a professional astrologer for 20+ years, and I have no idea how it works, but after all the charts I have read for clients over the decades, it is quite obvious it does work. First off, one myth about astrology busted: planets don’t make you do anything. They are symbols and indicators, not the source of the trait or quality in you. Your astrological birth chart only represents what is already inside of you. You came first. Your chart came afterwards. Human beings existed for centuries before astrology was codified. The map is not the territory. Do not confuse what you see in a chart with who you are, anymore than you would assume looking at a map is the same as visiting a place. Imagine it this way: when looking at an x-ray of your broken arm, would you say, “Oh look, the x-ray broke my arm?” The point I am making: astrology is a symbolic system of indications, not a cause. Think of it this way: if I look at a working analog clock, and see the big hand is on the 12 and the little hand is on the 4, I know it is telling me it is 4 o’clock, but I do not think the clock is causing Time to exist. It is merely a measuring device, an indicator. Same thing when I look at someone's chart. In a chart, their Mars sign & house placement did not MAKE that person get into a fight last night…but it does tell on them. It indicates they might have a tendency to lead with aggression. But people make a choice. They chose to make the fists and come out swinging. There are other ways of manifesting that. You could be assertive instead of aggressive. You could be forward without socking someone in the jaw. Choices are always available. I hope the above helps you understand true astrology a little better, so you can ask more informed questions.

G- Until the 20th century, quantum entanglement hadn't been demonstrated. Until Marconi, no one knew about radio waves. Until Twitter, you didn't care what someone had for lunch. Influences abound and we probably know very little about them. My astrological forecast, done by a professional twenty years ago has turned out to be very accurate. my numerological read is very accurate in the Indian system, even though i am European in origin.

Myoho is the combination of known and unknown, dimensionable and undimensionable. Rumi was a poet and guessed that we should be more open. Others have done more exacting work.

William James had a fine discussion of a related point: the superstition that 13 is an unlucky number for a dinner party.

"[We] might say with perfect legitimacy that a friend of ours, who had slipped on the ice upon his door-step and cracked his skull, some months after dining with thirteen at the table, died because of that ominous feast. I know, in fact, one such instance; and I might, if I chose, contend with perfect logical propriety that the slip on the ice was no real accident....Thus, in the present case, if we as men wish to feel the connection between the milky way ... and the dinner ... and the man's death, we can do so only by falling back on the enormous emptiness of what is called an abstract proposition. We must say, All thifgs in the world ate fatally predetermined, and hang together in the adamantine fixity of a system of natural law....And if, in the case of the unfortunate man, we lose ourselves in contemplation of the thirteen-at-table mysteru, and fail to notice the ice on the step and cover it with ashes, some other poor fellow, who never dined out in his life, may slip on it in coming to the door and fall and break his head too."

It is all very confusing.After reading about the philosophical implications of the Quantum Theory ,entanglement etc,you start feeling anything is possible.I have a feeling it is better to stick to logic and rational thinking and steer clear of these things in day to day life.These beliefs have done more harm than good.But we must have an open mind and keep these issues for academic discussions

I know of one star without which human life wouldn't exist.

Undoubtedly, the stars themselves affect human life and will, but they do so in a way which is not knowable. Their influence is so tiny I would consider it negligible. Like a single grain of sands effect on the tides, but infinitesimally smaller.

There does appear to be some sort of influence. Although it is not absolute control. If it were totally false it would not have survived the test of time.

No. There is no scientific evidence to support this contention. Consider that the Planet Pluto is no longer a planet. What will astrologers do? It's all a load of dingo's kidneys.

(“Keep me fully glad...”)

by Rabindranath Tagore

II

Keep me fully glad with nothing. Only take my hand in your hand.

In the gloom of the deepening night take up my heart and play with it as you list. Bind me close to you with nothing.

I will spread myself out at your feet and lie still. Under this clouded sky I will meet silence with silence. I will become one with the night clasping the earth in my breast.

Make my life glad with nothing.

The rains sweep the sky from end to end. Jasmines in the wet untamable wind revel in their own perfume. The cloud-hidden stars thrill in secret. Let me fill to the full my heart with nothing but my own depth of joy.
