I was watching a few views on astrology on the web which some people made a point how astrology effexts the brain.Which makes sense considering neurons and transmitters such as dopamine , serotonin, GABA , Ertc are responsible for our emotions ( hence drinking alchaol ) dopamine+GABA induce . Now over the years it's facts that our brain chemistry changes and per say trabnsits and progressions induce those chemicals what if you naturally produce those chemicals, for instance a man who drinks every day will not for the criteria of his natal chart and transits it's manipulated .. If I choose to naturally obtain serotonin or tyrosine in my diet regimen I can no longer compare to my chart ... This past week I have been juicing and taking in natural sources of neurontansmitter agnostics ( the chemicals in our brain that create feelings , happy , sad , sleep , appetite ) etc etc in these past week I have felt like complete crap the first 3 days obviously not like myself .. And then over the next 4 days I'm feeling happier and have more energy and what not so right there I control my emotions and basically my personality in a sense. Studies show anything as simple as a bad diet or good diet can change a personality .. Bumping your head can slo do the same... Many things .. So at what point are we really in Control ? http://youtu.be/ELpfYCZa87g IP: Logged |

Here's how I like to see it, hopefully you understand what an algorithm is because this analogy is similar. You can think of the natal chart as your DNA, your DNA is the algorithm, and the input is your environment. An algorithm is a code/equation/s that will dictate the output of the input that is entered into the system. Your DNA will dictate what proteins and structures are built in your body, which in turn dictates how your body will react to different input/environment the natal chart is similar in that while there are transits and progressions and different things going on in the world, it will all be in the context of your natal chart there is also a quote i love from the movie waking life that says "It's like you come onto this planet with a crayon box. Now you may get the 8-pack, you may get the 16-pack, but it's all in what you do with the crayons, with the colors that you're given." In this context the box of crayons is the natal chart, but YOU still have the free will to decide whether you will use those placements in your chart to your advantage or let them hopelessly dictate your life IP: Logged |

See I think that anybody who tries to use transits or progressions to make some sort of physical prediction (as well as people who are dumb enough to think sun signs alone reflect appearance) are idiots. Astrology is an art of archetypes, and thus you can interpret one placement or aspect in 100 different ways. there are some physical phenomenon you can predict in life through transits and progression but if you don't understand the underlying reasons for WHY those things occur on those transits than you are just blindly guessing based off of what you read on some website. For example, some website will say that when transiting uranus makes a square to your natal mars that you could get into an accident, the reason they come up with this interpretation is because they know that uranian energy is erratic and constantly changing and a bit anxious at times, and so for that to affect your mars which represents how you take action, it could mean that you end up feeling restless and end up making erratic actions, moving too fast, changing directions too quickly, and thus this energy makes it easier for someone to end up in an accident. basicly, theres a multitude of ways that things can end up manifesting in reality. to try and make those predictions and relate it all back to movements of the planets, it would be incredibly difficult to analyze every single nuance, not to mention there are so many celestial bodies in our solar system that arent accounted for as strongly, including eris, a dwarf planet larger than pluto, but the best we can do are share our collective experiences and see the statistics behind what happens to other people and analyze and understand how the art of archetypes works in our daily lives.

Yes, as the video you linked to explained. As for astrology, I've found it useful as a guide, I use astrology to "measure the psychic winds" and set my sails (or pull them down to row instead) accordingly.
