"Libras, your understanding is deeper than usual today, thanks to an influx of emotional intelligence that helps you see through other people's masks and barriers. Make the most of it!"  Former First Lady Nancy Reagan is famous for her affinity for astrology.  While we've established that every moment in time has a specific Godly energy, what of using one's horoscope to predict the future, or as guidance in planning our lives?

The Torah and Talmud are replete with stories of people who have their fates' foretold by the stars.  Knowing that there is a specific Torah prohibition against this, how should we understand these accounts? 

Using the examples of Abraham, Rabbi Akiva's daughter, and Rabbi Nachman bar Yitzchak, Rabbi Pinchas Taylor leads us to an understanding of the real way to plan our life, our week, our day, and every minute.
