A Matter Of Perspective by Jeff Jawer

EXCERPT:

Astrology appears to provide answers, yet it really doesn’t. A birth chart is a set of symbols that can do an incredible job of describing various aspects of personality and life cycles. After almost 40 years of practicing astrology I’m still amazed by the breadth and depth of insight that can be gleaned from a person’s natal chart. But it really describes the mechanics of behavior and not their ultimate source. For example, an individual born with attractive Venus in independent Aquarius 90-degrees away from active Mars in smothering Scorpio is likely to encounter these contradictory needs in relationships. For some, this Venus-Mars square will be seen as the reason for romantic disappointment. For others, though, it can be a source of charm and magnetism as they embrace their internal contradictions.

The planets don’t make us who we are. The self is more mysterious than that.
