This thread reminds me of my friend, V, who excitedly took up feng shui, bought the books, the flutes, the mirrors, de-cluttered, moved her furniture for better flow, added color and shape to delight the eye, and generally made her home lovely and liveable.
BUT! It turned out that V had been following "black hat" feng shui, but was informed that the other, compass-based, feng shui was better. There were tears. "Oh, no! Now I have to throw everything out and start again!" She was devastated.
My point is, if you use a tool that enriches your life, makes you grow as a person, makes you feel good, or assists you in your path, use it! If not, toss it! The tool is not the work!
You say, "I can see that it works" and "its power is constricting." IT doesn't work, IT doesn't constrict you -- that's YOUR job, not astrology's. The planet's position at the time of your birth is not the reason you're always in a partnership or always dependent upon another person. Make your own destiny!
Did William Shatner in that Twilight Zone episode where he makes all his decisions based on the little fortune telling machine teach you nothing!?!
