Can We Alter Our Luck? A Deep Dive

Published on: 26th February, 2026

The central theme of this podcast episode revolves around the philosophical inquiry into the concepts of fate and free will, particularly addressing whether individuals possess the capacity to alter their luck or fate. We engage in a comprehensive dialogue that explores the longstanding astrological debate regarding the extent to which our lives are predetermined versus the potential for personal agency. The conversation further delves into the implications of altering one's beliefs as a means to influence perceived luck, suggesting that such transformations may lead to a redefinition of success and fortune. Additionally, we consider the nuanced perspectives that arise from these concepts, including the idea that winning, in its many forms, may be subject to individual interpretation and personal growth. Ultimately, this episode seeks to illuminate the intricate interplay between belief systems, fate, and the human experience, encouraging listeners to reflect on their own narratives.

Takeaways:

  1. The discourse surrounding fate versus free will remains a perennial debate in astrology.
  2. We can potentially change our luck by altering our beliefs and perceptions about life.
  3. The law of attraction posits that our thoughts and beliefs can manifest our reality.
  4. Winning the lottery may not always equate to monetary gain but could symbolize personal fulfillment.
  5. The idea of being a 'boss' varies widely and is not confined to conventional definitions of success.
  6. Astrological insights can reveal underlying challenges, such as learning disabilities, as influenced by planetary positions.

Transcript
Speaker A:

Pretty much.

Speaker B:

Do you think you can change your luck?

Speaker A:

Do you think you could change your fate?

Speaker B:

Again, we always get stuck on this one.

Speaker A:

Well, well, astrologer.

Speaker A:

This has been the astrological argument since astrology started.

Speaker A:

Fate or free will, Is everything predetermined before birth?

Speaker A:

Or, or do.

Speaker A:

Do we have partial determination, determinism of some outcomes?

Speaker B:

I think I can.

Speaker B:

I think I. I just answered in my head the question I just asked you about.

Speaker B:

Do you think you can change your luck?

Speaker B:

And I'll answer with the following question.

Speaker B:

Is it possible to change your beliefs?

Speaker A:

Yes.

Speaker B:

So once one changes their beliefs, it could be that their quote, unquote, luck changes.

Speaker A:

Now you.

Speaker A:

Yeah, well, now you're getting on the.

Speaker A:

The law of attraction theory.

Speaker A:

I mean, if.

Speaker A:

I mean, if you.

Speaker A:

If you think about.

Speaker A:

If your thoughts become things, if you change your thoughts, if you never think you're gonna win a lottery, then you change it to yeah, I can win the lottery and I will.

Speaker A:

Shouldn't that show up at your door at some point?

Speaker B:

Absolutely.

Speaker A:

Now?

Speaker B:

Absolutely.

Speaker B:

But that's what I wanted to get to.

Speaker A:

But the thing is, what you think hitting the lottery is and what the universe is hitting the ladder is might be two different things.

Speaker B:

Right, right.

Speaker B:

But at the point where your beliefs change and now your luck has changed with it, I would also assume that your perspective will also change.

Speaker B:

And so maybe in the past you thought winning the lottery was receiving, you know, a million dollars, but once everything kind of, you know, once the wheel spins, winning the lottery could be, I don't know, spending one more moment with someone that you really love or care about.

Speaker A:

All right, now I'm a one up on.

Speaker A:

One up on you.

Speaker A:

And just say, look.

Speaker A:

Look at Prince Charles.

Speaker A:

You know, even though he's been second in.

Speaker A:

In command, it may.

Speaker A:

It may come to it that he may never be king.

Speaker A:

No matter what he tries to do.

Speaker A:

He might die before his mama.

Speaker A:

Wouldn't that be.

Speaker A:

Maybe some.

Speaker B:

Maybe he's.

Speaker B:

Maybe he's.

Speaker A:

That, that.

Speaker A:

That also means no matter how.

Speaker A:

How.

Speaker A:

How much effort you put in, you may never be a boss,

Speaker B:

but you can be a boss in another aspect of your life.

Speaker A:

However you.

Speaker A:

However you.

Speaker A:

Now that's your Sagittarius moon look.

Speaker A:

That's what I talked about, right?

Speaker A:

Sugar coat some stuff.

Speaker A:

Hey, hey, in traditional astrology, Walter, you can't sugarcoat everything.

Speaker A:

That's what I said in the beginning.

Speaker A:

Hey, sometimes.

Speaker A:

No, but listen, some bad gonna happen to some.

Speaker A:

Some good people.

Speaker A:

It is what it is.

Speaker B:

Yes, absolutely, you're right.

Speaker B:

But this.

Speaker B:

But, but think about it like this.

Speaker B:

This is why the wheel is so unique to everyone.

Speaker B:

Because society can tell you that being a boss is only, you know, worthy when, you know, you walk into an office that's yours and you employ 10,000 people.

Speaker B:

All right, maybe.

Speaker B:

Hold on.

Speaker B:

But maybe you don't have that aspect in your chart at the top of your chart.

Speaker B:

So guess what?

Speaker B:

Maybe you're a boss when you walk into your one bedroom apartment with you and your significant other and your one child.

Speaker A:

Speaking of child, now I have something for you.

Speaker A:

What do I say to somebody who, who, who talks to me about their child and being slow and having trouble reading and putting stuff together?

Speaker A:

Right?

Speaker A:

And I, I was like, oh, all right.

Speaker A:

And I look at that person's child's chart and I see Mercury and fall with Saturn sitting right on top of her.

Speaker A:

Mercury.

Speaker A:

And this lady sitting up here talking to me about the.

Speaker A:

They're.

Speaker B:

They're learning.

Speaker B:

Learning disability.

Speaker A:

Learning disability.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Was it written in the stars?

Speaker B:

Saturn, Saturn and falling, wearing cancer and Leo.

Speaker A:

No, no, I said Mercury and fall.

Speaker A:

I mean Mercury and detriment.

Speaker A:

My bad.

Speaker A:

Mercury and detriment in Sagittarius with Saturn sitting right on top of Mercury.

Speaker B:

That makes a lot of sense.

Speaker B:

That makes a lot of sense.

Speaker A:

Hey, Sagittarius.

Speaker A:

Higher learning.

Speaker A:

Higher learning.

Speaker A:

This person's talking about this.

Speaker A:

This person has a learning disability.

Speaker B:

Yeah, interesting.

Speaker A:

I don't know.

Speaker A:

I don't know if this person may ever get over that hump.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Because remember, progressions?

Speaker A:

Yeah, they may or they could.

Speaker A:

They could end up progression.

Speaker B:

Progressions play a part, you know, Let

Speaker A:

me ask you this.

Speaker A:

I mean, I didn't really, like, examine the chart, but that person could get over, get over that learning disability or that person could end up in the, In a straight jacket.

PAUL HEATH

I am Paul. When I reflect back on my life, I was always interested in astrology. I would read my daily horoscope in the newspaper every day and often wonder, “how do they know?”
One day I was told I am a “cusp of beauty”, because my birthday was the last day of Virgo. I went home to research what cusp of beauty meant. My curiosity soared when finding out the meaning. I didn’t realize that I had just begun the journey of “Know Thyself.”
Learning how to read my natal chart I acquired the skills to assist others with deciphering their own chart-energy. Astrology has helped me understand and accept me for who I am. Although still work in progress, knowing about myself is surely making the process easier. I enjoy helping others (Virgo Sun) with the information I have gathered (Gemini Rising) that will help transform lives (Scorpio Moon) in a positive way.
I look forward to meeting and working with you as we embark on your journey.
