Some are more scientific in nature and others prefer a holistic view that encourages people to understand all aspects of their inner being. Some, like Rob Brezsny&#8217;s Freewill Astrology, <strong>focus on inspiring messages and uplifting divinations.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Who Is Rob Brezsny?<\/h2>\n<p>Rob Breszny is a popular author who has been hailed by prolific writers including Tom Robbins (<em>Jitterbug Perfume)\u00a0<\/em>and Robert Anton Wilson (<em>Prometheus Rising).\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Breszny is known for writing\u00a0<strong>fascinating works\u00a0<\/strong>that delve into the occult and divine, such as\u00a0<em>The Televisionary Oracle.\u00a0<\/em>These books demonstrate his fascinating insight and understanding of sciences such as astrology.<\/p>\n<p>Brezsny is also the author of the book\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/Pronoia-Antidote-Paranoia-Revised-Expanded\/dp\/1556438184\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pronoia Is The Antidote for Paranoia: How the Whole World Is Conspiring to Shower You With Blessings<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>This book makes use of divine and esoteric ideas to help people develop a foundation for a positive, joyous lifestyle.<\/p>\n<h2>Freewill Astrology<\/h2>\n<p>Freewill Astrology is the name of Rob Brezsny&#8217;s astrology column. It was <strong>originally published under the title Real Astrology<\/strong> when it was first released in 1980.<\/p>\n<p>Brezsny&#8217;s column is a little bit different than some of the other astrology columns that you might be familiar with. Here&#8217;s why:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Freewill Astrology is usually written in a first-person perspective<\/li>\n<li>Breszny writes his column in a more literary and poetic style than some other astrologers, which coincides with <strong>his belief that astrology is a &#8220;poetic language of the soul&#8221; rather than a science.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Breszny combines other influences in his work, including full-on poetry, politics, and humor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Despite Breszny&#8217;s fresh take on astrology,\u00a0<strong>not everyone is fond of his column.\u00a0<\/strong>The New York Astrology Center \u2014 one of the leading mainstream &#8216;authorities&#8217; regarding astrology \u2014 has referred to his column as silly.<\/p>\n<p>Breszny is also not afraid of sparking controversy. For example, in 2017 he posted about the potential effects of a solar eclipse in regard to then-president Donald Trump. Citing the understanding that solar eclipses may result in ego death, and that ego death may be healthy in a normal person, he goes on to suggest that Trump (who is known for his massive ego) <strong>might be entirely shattered by an ego death.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No matter how you look at it, <strong>Freewill Astrology is a fresh take on a very old science<\/strong>. Rob includes not only his own perspective but his personal experiences. During one reading for Aries, he makes a reference to one of his own Aries friends. By relating their experience to readers and providing reference points which one can use to draw their own meanings, <strong>Freewill Astrology allows for a more personal reading than most other columns.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>In Finishing<\/h2>\n<p>Rob Breszny&#8217;s astrology column, Freewill Astrology, has been running for more than 40 years now. A well-known author and renowned astrologer, Breszny&#8217;s column <strong>offers a unique take on astrology.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Reading a horoscope is one thing, but using a psychic will provide you with even more detail.
