Can planets really control what is going on in our lives? Or are they really just a cosmic reflection of what is happening at any given moment? Perhaps a strange universal synchronization that we can't comprehend, but that we are lucky enough to be able to read...
Planetary Distances are Vast
The planets are millions of miles away from the Earth. So can they really have a physical effect on humans? The Moon has an effect on the tides that's a given. It seems capable of exerting enough physical influence on water, to push and pull it. Perhaps it's reasonable that the moon has some sort of influence on humans – that seems feasible to many.
The sun however, has even less influence, other than letting us know when to wake-up and sleep - one could conclude it would have less sway on humans. If the sun, with it's gaseous nature and weak pull, has little influence on people, then this might make you wonder how Saturn — which is also made of gas — could have such a heavy, restrictive effect on people?
Planets Probably Have Little Effect On People
Astrology is really more like reading Tarot cards. It's something that can be tracked and read, rather than something that has a physical influence. The ability to read personality types, or to foresee future conditions is a skill that has been passed down from generation to generation by tuning in to subtleties.
Thousands of years ago, someone noticed that people born in early spring had similar characteristics. It was later refined down to distinct types of people every 30 days. Then set interpretations were found for planetary combinations. Even today, astrologers are still tracking and recording new planetary bodies, along with new interpretations.
However, just as tarot cards have no actual physical influence on people - they are still readable for any individual. Planets are the same way. The have such a small amount of gravitational pull, vibration or harmonics that it's believed to be highly unlikely that planets physically effect humans.
Blueprint In The Sky
No one knows why planetary combinations are available to be read by people. It's just there and readable. One could probably develop their own unique system with enough effort; arrange different coloured rocks in a circle, then look for patterns over the course of months or years.
You would eventually see patterns - develop a system - then interpret and record your findings.
Point being, human characters and future events can be read using many different systems. None of them can prove a physical impact. All of them make ample use of subtle cues that are already present.
There are different patterns in play around society at any give time. Nature makes them available to anyone who is able to see the combination to it's universal locks. Decode it, record it and you'd have a new discipline. Like the others, astrology is just recordable, pre-existing patterns used to determine outcome or character.
