hello i found myself here from another site asking astrologers to visit.i have studied and taught western astrology before taking up the study of vedic astrology.i have learnt a lot from both and have made both work for me.i believe any system can be accurate depending on your state of conciousness and intuitive abilities.for me vedic astrology gives practical direction and an understanding of my life purpose karma etc .it is used a lot for predictive purposes as that is what  alot of people will pay money for.myself i prefer not to mix astrology with money.as for fatalistic it is like a map that you can choose to go by various routes to reach your destination .by studying the effect of the stars themselves, for me it provides a spiritual focus which i believe it was meant for .we are meant to pursue our material desires in order to learn from the experience.
   western astrology for me provided an insight into certain psychological aspects of my nature and can be useful in dealing with the complex emotional and mental problems so prevalent in the west.i believe western astrology has developed along these lines to satisfy this need.there is no reason that the effects of the outer planets cannot be incorperated into the vedic chart.i hope i never stop learning.
