What is my Fate? My Destiny?

Don't buy into the "bull" that you are "fated" to experience what your horoscope "predicts" for you; for your "Fate" is the consequence (meaning: "what follows in sequence") of your own past choices. Your "Future" is the consequence of your present choices. You always have Free Will to make your own choices in life; but with the freedom comes a responsibility to live with the consequences.

A wise astrologer once said, "Character is Destiny" - meaning that the character you were born with (and can mold through your choices in life) is what influences the choices you make - and thus determines the consequences they lead to.

You are born with the type of character indicated in your birth horoscope, and have the basic needs and motivations it indicates; but you can make choices about what to believe about yourself, about what actions you will take, and how you will react to your experiences in this lifetime. It may be difficult or even impossible to change your basic nature, but you can choose many different ways to express your nature, and which parts of your nature to express or suppress. A man gifted with a good imagination and a talent for persuasion can choose to become a copywriter or a con man, a salesman or a swindler - and his "destiny" will likely be determined by his choice. We are here to learn to choose wisely.
