"in the tetrabiblos ptolemy says that by using astrology some "fates" can be avoided."
By referring to "fates" do you mean like outcomes of different situations like if you will fall off a bike? or something more meaningful than that? or either one?
"Of course the fates you can't avoid have to do with heavier planets and stronger and more complex angles. For example, if you are going through an exact grandcross (4 planets at 90 degrees from each other) you will probably not be able to avoid the outcome, same as with a grandtrine."
These type of alignment isn't very usual, or is it? if they aren't does it mean that only once in a while you can avoid some fates?
"But if you are faced with a problem represented as a semi-square, or even a weak square and have a release of tension in the form of a connecting trine or a sextile you may be able to avoid the bad aspect of the square (say if mars is squaring the sun, but you also have a jupiter trine with the sun). So, really you have the illusion of freewill but everything seems predetermined."
What do you mean semi-square, weak square, release of tension in the form of a conecting trine or a sextile? What would be the aspect of the square? (IMG:

Could you elaborate more on the whole astrology lingo please, i am not very knowledgeable in astrology. Sorry if i'm turning the whole topic of the original post to astrology, but i think it's relevant to those ignorant in astrology in order to understand the comment made. (IMG:
