Astrology And The Natal Chart: Is There Such A Thing As A Lot In Life?
Ask the collective
In a few minutes I am going to talk to a client about what I believe is her “lot in life”. Unless the conversation takes a turn this is… but she did wonder about this and I think it’s an excellent question.
Personally, I think there is such a thing as a “lot in life”. For example, I have black hair and I can dye it all I want, when it grows back in, it is still going to be black.
I realize this goes against the current thinking that you can have anything you want… if only you write it down or wish upon a star. Yes! You too can be as rich as Oprah. I find this idea ridiculous but you know. I have Capricorn so I am naturally dour.
But seriously, says the goat. I think there are limits, you?

I wouldn’t call it a “lot” exactly, but I think there are parameters for each of us, beyond which it’s probably highly unlikely we’ll ever manage to go. But I don’t think this means that if we find ourselves in a difficult or uncomfortable situation that we have to see it as our “lot”, because that “lot” is but a small area within much wider parameters.
Dunno if that makes any sense at all. ![]()
but a lot of it depends on hw you choose to “do your job” there’s positive an negative expressions and i think we have the choice in how we express the energy we’re given.
I do think some doors just wont be opened for some no matter how loud they knock. And others dont even have to knock, the door just opens. But its worth knocking just to see right?
I strongly believe in having a lot in life, as you describe, for the same reasons as you describe. The hair is not suddenly going to turn red, for example. I think, the sky has limits, and I’m generally called a negative sour-ass for it. I believe it is because people mix it up with the lack of wanting to invest hard work in something, but I also attribute it to an enormously sheltered life in the West. There really are no real limits to the mostly young people, I have gotten criticism from. They are in their 30ies now, and I can see a split between those, who still have no family obligations, and who went into the working market without any problems, and then those, who came to this Earth with physical limitations, which break out now and those who have families and mortgages. The latter group does see, what I mean. The other group are either Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, or they will understand when they hit their 40, and suddenly they can’t act 17 anymore.
I have the Sun in Fifth House. And I think, the best way to make oneself a splendid person is to reach the sky within the set limits. For example, to wear clothes and make-up to bring that black hair out to its fullest potential, to stay with your example. I also believe, most people _can_ reach the sky within their limits, which is, where the work is to be invested.
But as a Moon in 12 house, I also know, that there are a few, who have been given such a hard lot, that it almost resembles a cosmic birth defect of sorts, and they need all the help and compassion for their situation, they can get.
libra rising says:
yes and no
(yes) we have a fated lot, we’re f***d, so let’s make the best of it,
(no) yet shifting my perception can totally change my experience of whatever reality.
(both) the lot is a very large map and we can still choose our destinations, even when we take detours, choose the ‘wrong’ fork, a bad road or go off road entirely.
Which leads me to: isn’t it the journey that counts?
( ) let’s say we chose our lot -peticulars of our incarnation in order to experience certain things, then our lot was really up to us, so we dont really have a lot? Maybe I can totally release my past, change the contract and create a new lot –it self disposable & renewable at that. But that is a pretty scary precept. so much power. ‘unacceptable’. I dont dare to try, Im too attached to what I know. ;P
isn’t the best lot is to love your life?
This reminds me of something you wrote a little while ago. You said that your natal chart gives you potential energies that you choose whether you want to utilize or direct in some way. You manipulate what you’re born with to achieve what you think your lot in life is.
I believe less in the idea that no one has a calling than the opposite. I think that people are equipped to do certain things and choose whether or not to do them. Then again, I think I have a lot in life. And that’s not dying young. Because of this, I’m more chilled out and less scared of dying at this time. I also believe that I’m going to fall in love once and for good. This is why I’m not that worried about finding a mate in the future like some girls are. Especially the kind that come from a culture where you marry early.
The most minimal conception of a lot in life helps you live without being afraid to die every second of the day.
I agree with “TheBlackScorpio”’s assessment. It seems to me, too, that many who don’t believe that we are born into our “lots”(and/or who don’t have compassion for those worse off than themselves)are often persons whose own lots include a great deal of situational resources and freedom of movement in their lives… You know, the ones who always say, “Well, if I can do it, ANYBODY can! There’s no excuse!”
