Question about Sidereal Astrology and Prognostication
I have a good friend who recently introduced me to Sidereal Astrolomy. I am a complete layperson who has kinda (half-assed) followed Tropical Astrology over the last 30 years. I always felt that my Tropical Astrology sign wasn't quite right, but blamed it on my autism. Sidereal Astrology sign seems a better fit so I'm going to learn more about this.
But I have a question: I am under the belief that astrology doesn't use prognostication/future telling. My friend is absolutely convinced they will have a specific event happen to them in the future because they paid a supposedly top notch Sidereal Astrologer for a whole deluxe work up of their chart.
I remain super skeptical of this because, among other things, quantum physics and potentialities.
Is prognostication an actual thing in astrology, Sidereal or otherwise?
