There is no denying that the stars have a great influence over our lives. For some people, the stars may seem to point to very clear paths that they should follow. But for others, the constellations may not be as clear-cut. For others, they may not exist at all.
There are many ways the universe works. Some say that the past influences our future, others that the future affects the past. Astrology is one of those beliefs.
