Can we avoid the influence of the stars?!

Can we avoid the influence of the stars?

I am asking this seriously. If I compare my natal chart (with my amateur eye) to the charts of some other people it seems less good. Plus, even if does say pretty accurately who I am, I don't want to be like that for the rest of my life (actually I wanna change a lot). To which extent can we change our personal traits? Can we fail in our lives just because we were born at a bad moment? It seems unfair. Are some people actually born under a lucky star? (Karma?)

These things have been bothering me lately, because I am kind of standing in my own way and cannot make a progress in my life. Ironically, it is because of some personal traits one could read from my natal chart...

Any astrology pros?

Thanks for taking your time to read my post and maybe even to answer it.

Will, life isn't supposed to be walked all over, you're the one who has to create it. So with that said, look back at this question and the things you wrote... it seems like you are too confused in what your beliefs should be in following a one way path and only that way. You have all this in your head too much and you need to get out of this. Life isn't a path you need to take because it's written that way, you walk a path you want to take and write about it instead.

Your personal traits are yours and it changes with the people you are with, your friends, family, the times you spend and how you go about those time, the way you feel during those times, and it is something built gradually so it's up to you. It's not necessary to believe everything, your thoughts are up to you and it is your choice to believe them or not.
