You can't choose to do or not do something that is preordained. Of course, free will is problematic all on its own - independent of astrology. Whatever I do, I do for a reason - therefore I am not acting freely at all - I am compelled to act because of a reason. In other words, if I have a reason for action I have not acted as a result of free will. The concept of free will collapses into the concept of randomness.<br><b>References : </b><br> If your fate is written in the stars, free will is meaningless.

I suppose it may be because astrology leaves everything to fate, therefore leaves out decisions and choices that we make for ourselves, which would be a denial of free will in a way. I'm still not quite sure what you mean, but that's the best I can come up with.<br><b>References : </b><br> Hmm…well, I'm a Christian, and I've never heard of that philosophy before.
