[wpedon id=”12836″ align=”right”]How would you act if you knew the future
We are all interested in knowing the future, but would we act differently if we knew our future in advance?
We are going to use the knowledge that astrology provides to understand this topic and draw our conclusions.
Astrology doesn’t determine or predict future events. Astrology simply points out what “energies” will manifest at a certain time or period.
This definition may seem different from what is commonly understood but that’s what astrology is.
That generated energy, whether expansive, passive or restrictive, will manifest itself in a general way, but depending on the characteristics of the person, its natal chart and very important, the evolutionary state the person has, this energy will be represented in a different way. Therefore, the future as such is not defined only by the events that may happen, but also by how each person will react to them.
For those who have some knowledge of astrology, you may be familiar with the energies generated by each of the planets. Very quickly we can say that Saturn is the one that generates energy that restricts, makes you see things from the point of view of responsibility and burden, Uranus generates quick changes, Jupiter makes everything grow, Neptune connects with the muses on another level or show you what’s not real, and so on with the rest of the planets and aspects.
As an exercise to understand the prediction of the future, let’s say that the person has a complicated transit of Saturn through house IV (the home) which will occur in 6 months.
Because of the energy generated by the negative aspects of Saturn in house IV, we can ‘predict’ that the home situation will become complicated, problems with the house itself, with the members living in it or something related to them. From this energy that is being represented at that moment, it is most likely that there are circumstances or people that are the cause of the problem at home. Consequently, in the case of people, someone may be found to be the promoter, accused of causing the situation, and this may lead to greater consequences that go beyond the problem at home.
A situation at home can also lead to a deterioration in the relationship between the people who interact.
Looking at things from another perspective, we can say the following:
The energy generated by Saturn, as we already know, was ‘programmed’ since, both by the position of Saturn at birth and in transit, can be seen at any moment in time, whether present, past or future when it manifests.
So, if it was already known that this energy was going to be ‘activated’ at a certain moment, we can say that the ‘actors’ who participated at the event, are the ‘agents’ for activating, or channeling, or materialization of that energy, which was already previously known. But the actors are not the ‘generators of that energy.’ The only generator is Saturn with the IV house and any other planet or aspect to which we refer, and directly associated with the person who has this transit in its natal chart.
Although instinctively one will look for a ‘perpetrator’ of what happened, what happened was only a ‘staged’ representing Saturn’s energy.
Let’s say that if there is a bad aspect of house IV (home) and for some reason the person is living alone on a small island, that energy we are talking about can be represented as a ship passing over the island, a plane crashing right on the island, a castaway appearing who is a psychopath who escaped from a maximum-security prison, etc., etc.
What happens is beyond our control, the energy will materialize in some way. How we react to this energy will be directly related to our evolutionary level.
The energy will manifest itself in some way, and although we may pass judgment on what happens, we must understand that there are no ‘guilty parties, victims, or victimizers,’ but only ‘actors’ who represent life’s energies.
So, how would you act if you knew the future, especially knowing that you cannot avoid it?
The most advisable thing would be to prepare yourself mentally and beyond what happens, try to maintain the neutral state of the observer, which is not easy to achieve if you have no prior preparation.
All the people who enter and leave our lives have faces, names, are part of society, family, work, church, neighborhood, etc., but they are neither good nor bad, they are simply ‘actors’ who fulfill a function, and have only one objective which is to present situations that we need to overcome and through that process learn and evolve. To evolve, the first thing we need to do is to control our ego and for this it is essential the understanding of what life is. Things may or may not be as we want them to be, but they are the way they are.
This is a concept that goes against everything we have learned, and denies many aspects that are rooted in us and may even go against the foundations under which we live our day to day; but if we are born and die as independent beings and without having any control of these two fundamental moments in life, what makes us think that, between these two points of our existence, the ‘actors’ around us are responsible for our destiny.
If we manage to understand the meaning of this, we will free ourselves from a burden, especially emotional, that will continue to be active in us after the energies of a certain transit have passed. If cannot do this, they will become part of our programming (subconscious house XII), and those memories will be part of our responses to future situations.
Let’s think about how many situations we have been through that have left us ‘marked’ in some way, where we have assigned a ‘face’ to that ‘actor’ who intervened when a certain energy was generated and we have kept it in the memory associated directly as responsible for the event, when simply, that character played the part that he/she had to play at that moment, whoever he/she was and whatever it did.
Let’s take out the faces, the labels, the names and separate them from the facts. If we can do that, we will flow more ‘lightly’ through the energies that are presented to us and we would stop having a closet full of skeletons from the past, which, in the present, are no longer of any use to us.
The key to a better quality of life is not given by knowing the future, but by using well and daily, our immense evolutionary capacity. It is putting to good use our free will.
