This is a very good question and the answer is not exactly YES or NO. Lets understand it step by step.
Yes free will can counteract challenging astrological influences but not always and there is a limitation to it and of course the side-effect also.
Since astrology is a very complex shastra the free will act differently from case to case and its complexities.
Now let me explain it with examples.
Case 1.
When the 10th cuspal sublord is signifying 5 and 9th house in strong way then the native should take up career aligned with their horoscope otherwise there will be difficulties in his job and there will be multiple job changes in his / her career.
Here in this case the native thru free will can either get his job as per the alignment of his horoscope or bow down his head against all kinds of odds and continue in a job. There will be lot of frustration due to his compromising in his job thru his free will, but if the native is ready to accept it then he can counter astrological challenges.
Case 2.
When child birth is denied in a horoscope then even if the couple goes to the best doctors for getting best of the best medical treatments thru their free will, then also child birth in normal way will not happen as the event is completely denied and here free will can not play any role to make the event happen, even with kinds of difficulties.
Case 3.
When marriage is denied in a horoscope then even after very very hard marriage doesn’t happen as the planet create such circumstances that the native will be bound to decide to not to get married.
Here is this case the native thru his free will can do marriage by doing lot and lot of compromise and adjustments to meet the marriage requirements. To make the marriage event happen the native may invite many problems and difficulties but if he is focused on the event to make it happen even with all kind of odds then only he can marry.
After marriage he can not be very happy as he will need to keep on making compromises and adjustments which will make him feel that it was better to remain unmarried and facing this worst condition.
So one need to understand to what extent the free will is workable to give the native to have a healthy event which the native can also enjoy a bit when he tries to counteract challenging astrological influences.
There are also conditions in horoscope that the native need to try very very very hard thru his free will to make the event happen and afterwards it will be a good happy journey with the event.
So in a nutshell one can only say that free will can counteract challenging astrological influences but not always and it depends on the merits of the event.
