Atstrogy and Magic are real

 Ramchal (Fundamentals Magic) Stars actually influence events.  All the influences coming from above for the purpose of the lower ones pass through the stars. However  their influence is only according to what is drawn from above. To all these spiritual beings, God gave permission to influence the lower worlds with actions that are not in accordance with the natural way,  That which is closer beneath them is more influenced. When the lowest are influenced by the middle forces you should know that they  were prepared and selected for this. However none have in them the power to act independently with its own volition to do everything they want. Everyone is limited and restrained as to what it can do. |In these things there are matters which are permitted and those that are forbidden .This is the subject of Sefer Yetzira and Kishuf.
