Hey, sorry for the late response, I really am intrested in the topic.

Yes, that is right, but that is the essence about the destiny idea Sapkowski intended within the saga. Neither Geralt nor Yennefer believe the warnings of priestesses and prophecies, and absolutely paid no attention to astrology whatsoever, but the fate intended different things for them, as much as Geralt and Ciri wanted to escape their fate, it seemed to get a hold of them, did it not?

I do not intend to say that everything is predeterministic, on the contrary, but the main idea of the books, one of the laitmotives actually, is that none can escape their fate, and that the ones who believe do not subject neither to the laws of the carma or the fate whatsoever...

You yourself checked the horoscopes?

Faith is alltogether better than the other stuff, agreed, just the thing Neneke is persuading Geralt about...

I've visited an astrologer, but not for the purpose of prediction. It was psychoanalaysis, and she used the horoscope as a brief guide as Jung did suggest in his works.
