Vedic astrologer: 75% of life is fixed, 25% is up to the individual
In an interview with the Latvian news portal Nra.lv, Vedic astrologer Jānis Riežnieks explained what astrology can and cannot influence. He said three quarters of a person's life are predetermined, while one quarter is left to free will.
Vedic astrologer Jānis Riežnieks explained what astrology can and cannot influence in an interview for the talk programme of the Latvian news portal Nra.lv. The conversation centred on whether a person's wealth is written in the stars.
What is fixed and what is not
Riežnieks said there are 12 zodiac signs, or "zodiacs". Of these 12 positions, nothing is fixed in four, while eight are fixed. According to the astrologer, this means 75% of a person's life is fixed and 25% is not.
He stressed that for this reason a person must know how to choose the right places and the right times, and must be able to use their free will. In his words, one has to know when to make an effort and get things done.
What is predetermined
As fixed factors, Riežnieks named a person's height, the length of their arms, their family and their mother. The amount of money in a person's wallet is also fixed. What is not fixed, he said, is how much money a person will put into circulation together with others.
The interview was published in Nra.lv's video format. In it, the astrologer set out his view of how the predetermined and the self-chosen are divided in our lives.
