Do It Yourself Life Plan Astrology

Astrology by and large don't pull my attention since I reckon it appeals to millions and billions of people under the same star sign every year and how can it possibly be true (especially on the bad stuff) for me that particular year. When I stumbled upon this slightly browsed copy, I was kinda attracted to it's title on Life plan, Do-it-yourself and Affect your whole life claim. Geez...affect your whole life...really?Guess what, the joke or should I say, surprise, was on me. After the slight tedium of understanding how to navigate the birthcharts..blah blah blah.. for these kinda self help books, I was astounded by what I read. You know the real test of any book that supposedly claim to tell you your future is to check back on your past and see the accuracy of the present. I knew each destiny is unqique and different and some, like myself, may even state that their challenges are definitely one of a kind...guess again. This book was able to reveal my past and current situation with uncanning accuracy that I felt drawn and affected. It was then I realised I may have a chance to "really" ( I won't use the word "finally" cos nothing ever is) know who I was and what is in stored for me. I bought the book despite it's less than pristine condition, a practice I never embrace but felt this is a really prized find.The scary thing as I delved deeper into the wisdom of this book is what the author said about fate and free will. The analogy used of a small boat to go where one pleases in the ocean to describe free will being juxtapositioned along with fate makes alot sense and you cannot help but wonder if fate is really afterall the dominant force in our lifepaths. If these planets can affect our lives so significantly, why didn't someone (the therapist?) tell us long ago- it would have had saved alot pain for alot people going through challenges. Maybe the answers also lie within the covers..ok.please hold ...let me check the fine. print.
