Vishnu, as described in Brihat Parashara Hora Sastra, Chapter 1 (-about the Creation) authors and administers with 25% of himself in each cycle of creation, while the remaining 75% remains unmanifested and beyond human comprehension. In astrology, we can interpret only a portion of the 25% that is revealed in our birth charts. Even the most learned astrologer can only access 75% of what the chart shows, leaving us far from fully understanding the totality of creation. The truth is, what we experience and what the stars indicate is only a fraction of the Divine plan.
When people think of free will, they often imagine it as the power to control or shape their circumstances. But in reality, “I” consciousness—the ego—holds no true power. The energy of the Divine flows through us, and the idea of a separate self is an illusion. What people often mistake for free will is simply the manifestation of their horoscope, particularly the dominant patterns governed by planets like Rahu and Ketu. These patterns can feel like destiny, but they are simply extensions of our conditioned responses.
True free will does exist, but it is not about controlling events. It is about how we choose to relate to the events and people in our lives. We can respond from our habitual patterns, or we can choose to respond wisely, in alignment with Divine will. Our only real choice is whether we engage with life in a healthy, balanced way or let ego-based desires take over.
Surrendering to God’s will doesn’t mean passivity or fatalism—it means learning to experience life as it is, moment by moment, and allowing the Divine to guide our actions. The spiritual act of surrender isn’t about resigning to misery but finding happiness by flowing with the current of God’s will. We aren’t stuck in predetermined paths but can grow and transcend our birth charts by choosing how we relate to our experiences.
Ultimately, as we align with this deeper awareness, we open ourselves to experiencing the flow of divine energy and wisdom in all aspects of life.
