Question: I have been looking at the question and answers on the ascended masters for quite a long time and searching about how astrology affects one’s Divine plan, a collective influence and also a personal influence when someone’s got a natal chart. How strong is that influence on our Divine plan? That is my question. I am not sure if it is a good question or not, but that is my question.
Answer from Kim Michaels. This answer was given at the 2025 Holland Conference.
Kim: Basically, how strong is your astrology influencing your Divine plan?
How is it fixed? Because sometimes we have got fixed attributes, supposedly from certain star signs. And how is that influenced? Do the dark forces influence that at all and divert it at all? That is the other question. I mean, I just want to know how fixed it is.
Kim: I am not the best person to answer the question because I do not know very much about astrology because I just never felt prompted to go into it. I have a strong intuitive sense that astrology can be used for you to see something about your psychology. And therefore, it can also be used to see what you might have put into your Divine plan. But I also have a strong intuitive sense that it does not work the other way, that it is forcing me. I have a strong intuitive sense that some star sign up there is not going to determine my path in life because I still have my free will and my choices.
It might show you something about your psychology and the challenges you face and what you might need to resolve and look at. But to me, your Divine plan, it is something you chose, your astrology did not force you to. But of course, it was based on looking at your karma you might have from past lifetimes, some karma you might need to balance. That sets certain parameters.
And I am not saying that a good astrologer could not see some patterns in your astrology perhaps, but I just do not have a sense that just because you were born at a certain time at a certain place and the planets were in this position, that that determines how you are going to be because you still have your free will and your choices. It is a matter of resolving your psychology so you can see more clearly and get a better intuitive sense for what is in your Divine plan.
I suppose that when I came into incarnation, I would have decided where I was going to be born, what time I was going to be born, and all the rest of it anyway. That would be my decision, presumably.
Kim: Yes, But I also have a sense that when it comes to those kinds of questions, you are facing the realities of time and space. You cannot choose that your parents were going to meet at that particular time. You are not directing your parents. You might be up there, it is time for you to come into embodiment, and there might be two or three places you could come into embodiment, and you have to choose one of them. What you may be looking at is their potential there, but then these two people do not get together that could have become your parents. Now you are looking at some of the others, and: “Oh, here is a chance, so I am going to take this one.” You see what I am saying? It is not like it is so carved in stone, because there is are so many variables in the physical octave. And I think sometimes some of us who are more, what do you want to call it, we have resolved more psychology in our past lives, and may not have as much karma. It is just a matter of we have to get into a physical body, and it is not so important where. I mean, obviously we want to not be born in an abusive home where we are crippled for life because of our childhood, but whether it is here or there, you know, for me, I do not think it was essential that I was born in Denmark. I could have been born in many other places, I think it was just for practical purposes. At some point you just have to say: “OK, I am taking that one.” It is like you are standing at the main train station and: “Oh yeah, I am taking that train. I am not going to wait for another train.”
