Can astrology/numerology (not the predictive aspect but the self awareness aspect) help us discover our gifts?

Two recommended books about astrology (quoting Kiran Guljarani - see facebook link below)

"2 amazing pieces of work I have found are:
1. Dan Millman's 'Life u were born to live' (same guy who wrote - the way of the peaceful warrior - also a great movie)
2. Astrology for the Soul - Jan spiller - "

Astrology for the Soul by Jan Spiller, proved to me to be a book of exception... Simply and without pretence, it did open the door to a very deep and authentic reading of myself. Somehow but coming from a different approach it offers as powerful an understanding as Jung theory of archetypes and how it was then practically turned into a self-discovery tool by MBTI.Jan Spiller cut through the academism and offer plain wisdom-reading about the stuff we are made of. The stuff we are made of... I like that...not who we are - we are what we become - but what has been shaping our Self, our inner-structure... Moons, stars, Sun...and the inter-relation of these... these phenomenoms have been and are the pillars of what we know, what we do and what we create... science is based upon their observation... Pythagore, Ptolemee, Newton are considered great astrologists... but as the separation grew between science of matters and objects and science about people, science in the Western sense became exclusively focused on things rather than people and behaviours. Astronomy was real science and astrology was not anymore... I guess we are living in a world where we are re-learning who we are, re-learning the deep connection between people and things, subject and object... People like Jan Spiller show that despite the gutter into which much of astrology has fallen, there is an ancient-wisdom-based-science-driven astrology which still belongs to the nobility of man.
