As of necessity you have free will it is more about choices and developmental lessons, how you react to these is an important measure of your growth and each choice leads to different paths and different circumstance and the way that you experience your life in your space time.
To learn natal astrology is never going to be a waste of your time and effort, but it used to be thought of as complex and difficult, I do not think this needs to be the case today, with computers taking over all the calculation. The delineations of the various factors, planets in signs and houses, aspects and transits can all be looked up in one of the many books available. However, I do not recommend this as you will be constantly referring back to the books and not getting a feel for the cosmic tides and how they shift and have an affect to you personally. The way I recommend is to learn the basics and from these you can piece together a complete picture.
