Do you think we have a destiny or do you belive that everything is open?

I would agree with the first part but somewhat disagree with the second part.

I've lifted this from Wikipedia as it succinctly states my view. I have edited out some unnecessary bits and bolded some portions for emphasis.

True Will

(E)very individual has a True Will, to be distinguished from the ordinary wants and desires of the ego. The True Will is essentially one's "calling" or "purpose" in life. Some later magicians have taken this to include the goal of attaining self-realization by one's own efforts, without the aid of God or other divine authority. Others follow later works such as Liber II, saying that one's own will in pure form is nothing other than the divine will. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law for Crowley refers not to hedonism, fulfilling everyday desires, but to acting in response to that calling. The Thelemite is a mystic. According to Lon Milo Duquette, a Thelemite is anyone who bases their actions on striving to discover and accomplish their true will, when a person does their True Will, it is like an orbit, their niche in the universal order, and the universe assists them. In order for the individual to be able to follow their True Will, the everyday self's socially-instilled inhibitions may have to be overcome via deconditioning. Crowley believed that in order to discover the True Will, one had to free the desires of the subconscious mind from the control of the conscious mind, especially the restrictions placed on sexual expression, which he associated with the power of divine creation. He identified the True Will of each individual with the Holy Guardian Angel, a daimon unique to each individual. The spiritual quest to find what you are meant to do and do it is also known in Thelema as the Great Work.

So, with this in mind, it would seem that one may have a general 'destiny' ahead of them, but how it is fulfilled is up to the individual. We have complete freedom to ignore our True Will and do anything we want, but doing so is not in our ultimate best interest.


Hmm, I wonder if SLR is the right place for this topic...?
 
Domokun have you looked into rising signs? They are supposedly more telling than your traditional astrology sign... it's "how you come off" to people. 5 minutes is a fine line... according to this theory there are 12 signs. So if you were born an hour or two earlier, the personality may be different.

I have found some truth in these horoscope things. I try to enhance the good qualities and consciously work out the negative.

My question is, what does it mean in the case of a c-section? Does astrology and birth time still apply with medical intervention?
