Stars

Do you believe that the stars have some control over our lives?  Do you think people should put any stock in astrology?  This is something that I've been giving a lot of thought because I have been thinking about what my astrologer has told me.  While I do not believe that this IS whats going to happen BECAUSE of something else, I do believe that I can take it in and shape my own path out of what the stars 'say'. 

So far my astologer has been right about the things he has 'predicted', but this just could be because of my subconscious has taken in the information and has manifested it in the physical world.  On the same note, what he has told me about my past in spot on.  This is a little strange since he doesn't know my past.  I've never told him anything about growing up or anything of that sort.  This makes me wonder if the stars do in fact hold more than meets the eye. 

I know that a lot of people consult the stars about relationships among other things, but I don't think they should base their moves off of what the stars say.  The stars are there, to me anyway, as an outline.  You can choose to follow it direct and color within the lines, or you can open a part up and choose to explore what the stars have failed to mention.  What would happen if people lived their lives ONLY according to what is shown to them from above?  Would people be happy?  Would they end up living their lives to the fullest?  Would they be sad because of the things they never knew...or just not care because they are so caught up in coloring within the lines?

I suppose, like anything, it is all perception.  I know people who live their lives according to the stars and they seem to be happy with where they are because of it.  I also know people who consult the stars on certain issues, but only use it as an option...weight to balance.  And then there are runes....but thats another story.  All I'm wondering about is what my astrologer has told me and how spot on he has been.  Should I put any stock in it or...hmm.
