Why are we so obsessed with being 'destined'?

Looking at the current transit—Saturn and the Sun hovering in Pisces—everyone is talking about 'letting go' or 'spiritual dissolution.' It’s a convenient narrative, isn't it? It allows us to blame the cosmos for the messes we’ve made of our own lives. I had a client last week, a man terrified of his Rahu transit in Aquarius, asking if he was doomed to lose his job. He didn't want a reading; he wanted a permit to quit and call it a 'karmic necessity.'

We love using Vedic terms like Shatabhisha to dress up our procrastination as some kind of divine healing process. But let’s be honest: are we really working with the shadow, or are we just hiding behind it? When I check the Choghadiya, it's rarely about finding a 'lucky' time to act—it's about finding a moment to pause and realize that the planet isn't moving your hands; you are.

So, tell me: if you stripped away the fear of your dashas and the comfort of your transit reports, what would you actually do tomorrow? Do you use astrology to understand yourself, or do you use it as a shield to keep from having to change?
