He asks: “Is there any truth to the claim that current planetary positions relative to those positions at the time of birth correlate to or even cause particular life events? If so, does astrology offer a useful guide to self-awareness, the unconscious, or personal development?” What is Creator’s perspective?

Again, we would say there is some correlation, but it is as much correlation without causation, and is somewhat vague and uncertain in the bargain, because one sees the broad strokes. This brings into question its value in spending the time to read the tea leaves, so to speak, when there are deeper ways to probe for such information and guidance in understanding one's life purpose and makeup, particularly with respect to fully understanding whether there is a need for healing. This is because some things might not be cast in stone but rather the opposite, being present as an invitation to do something useful to change things for the better, and that astrology cannot tell you with any degree of confidence.
