Thoughts On Astrology + Numerology?

[Phil King]

Lately Ive been looking into astrology and numerology as a means of trying to understand myself better and possibly understand what the purpose or meaning of my life is. Ill just start with some brief definitions so we are all on same page.

Astrology: Believing that the time, date, location of your birth along with the position of the planets/celestial bodies have meaning to them and can be used as a cypher to reveal your natural abilities, personality type, past life, and future destiny.

Numerology: Believing that your date of birth added up and your numerical name equivalent carry a certain energetic vibration that will in turn influence how your life will play out. (If you guys disagree with these definitions, pls feel free to elaborate) https://numerologyworx.com/ Use this to see your core numbers

Now I honestly believe that these are really good introspection tools similar to Tarot cards and that they can be used to help make decisions in your life like what career to pursue or who to marry, etc. This may seem woo woo but let me explain. 

On a purely material basis, it is actually undeniable that the planets do effect us on an extremely miniscule scale but calculatable scale. Since these celestial bodies are huge, they are exerting a gravitational force on us that can be calculated using some gravitational constant, however small that may be. Like how the moon influences the tides here on earth, the moon can similarly effect us (Interestingly they say someones moon sign is responsible for like 70% of someones subconscious mind and we are about 70% water)

On a more Consciousness/Actualized based approach, you as God chose to be reincarnated in this specific form at this specific space and time. Why would it not leave clues to itself on what it was meant to accomplish in this life through your birth chart and name and birthday? It feels too unspiritual to think that the name and date that you reincarnated as be completely arbitrary. I am reminded of a quote at the beginning of an actualized video "All throughout the universe, the forces are in perfect balance, hence the energy of a single thought may determine the motion of the whole universe."

But idk thats just my take, curious as to what you guys think. Do you guys look at your horoscopes or birth charts and do you put any meaning into these esoteric sciences?

I've looked at them and kinda beleive them but I don't put much thought into it if I do i go crazy trying to relate things in my head. Even if its true it dosent matter its like looking at a map for terrain you have to cross anyway and can't bring the map with you. Just go walk and deal with it as it comes. You getting any meaningful or insightful stuff out of it is probably not worth the time studying it and analyzing it if you are going to learn anything it will be from real life not the horoscopes.
