Q: What is the difference between professional Chinese Astrology Predictions and fortune telling?
A: There is a big difference between predictions and fortune tellings. Fortune-telling is the practice of foretelling an event in a person’s life. The term fortune-telling implies a less serious setting, even one of popular culture, where there is a belief in occult workings of mysterious forces over the individual’s life. The individual has no responsibility or freedom to act against those forces. Predictions are more like suggestions of spiritual or practical advisory art considering the Heavenly Stars of the individual. Professional Astrologers in all cultures gave predictions to the Kings and Queens to relay information to them about the influences of the Stars for a period of time.
For example: to help to make an important life decision a professional astrologer will be able to tell /based upon the analysis of the personal Stars/ if the timing is auspicious for the life decision in question.
This kind of prediction can help the person to make the right choice of action
There is freedom of choice for action and it is the person’s respons
ibility to follow the advice in the prediction. For example: Good time for family planning, good date for working abroad.
