Your birth chart is a map of your character

The word character is most often applied to a person portrayed in a novel, play, or film and in the age of personality its usage to distinguish people as individuals has declined. 

Fact check: Your character identifies the qualities and mental traits that set you apart as a person. It’s everything that is you.

Hermetic astrology teaches that your character aka mind, soul or greater consciousness is who you are. You possess qualities and express thoughts, feelings, impulses, desires, wants, needs, attitudes, likes and dislikes. Your character embraces your mentality, individuality and personality.  

Your mentality comprises mental traits and characteristics; your individuality comprises deep-seated traits that most resist change; and your personality comprises personal traits that are obvious to others.

Your character at birth – the one you were born with – is the sum total of all the mental states experienced by your soul on its evolutionary journey. It grows and develops through experience. New events and conditions produce new states of consciousness or add to already exiting states.

Your outstanding character traits are the seeds of your future self.  They’re the building block on which your life is constructed. Your day-to-day living is just character doing its thing.

Your character is the seat of your predispositions. It’s your characteristic mode of living – the distinct way you experience and deal with life – your one great personal reality – the key to your destiny – and next to your spiritual Ego your most precious possession: and your birth chart is an easy-to-read resumé of your character.

Your birth chart is a map of your character

Your birth chart is a one-of-a-kind map of the zodiac signs and planets and your one-of-a-kind character. It’s your astral connection to the universe.

You have a forever correspondence with your chart.

Your birth chart provides you with a state-of-play progress report on your character development aka special type of intelligence and ability at the time of your human birth.

Your character is composed of ten dynamic thought-cell groups aka desire-urges and the planets in your birth chart are your go-to reference points for learning about their strength and functional status. 

The planet with the highest astrodyne power score is your chart’s hot-spot. It maps your dominant desire-urge – the chief determinant of your life and the direction it takes. Through psychokinesis it influences your thoughts, feelings and actions and attracts events which contribute to the development of your outstanding traits, qualities and attributes.

Other thought-cell groups classified as prominent are depicted by the planets having above average astrodyne power scores. They have sufficient psychokinetic power to influence your thoughts and behavior and attract events through which their special attributes continue their development.

Your character is composed of pronounced qualities, weak and obscure tendencies, and defective traits that are inclined to cause mishap and misadventure: and your birth chart is a whole character reference that let’s you know what you’ve got, what you can do, and what you have to fix to get it right.

Character defects indicate misguiding learning that can be modified, overwritten, unlearned and changed.

Your character is measurable. It’s everything that is you: it’s what you think, feel, do and say. It develops through events and the dialogue you have with yourself about your life experiences; and your birth chart provides valuable information that you can factor into the conversation. It significantly increases and enhances the scope of your self-awareness. It allows you to learn about the traits and qualities that define your reason for being.

You might have to fight your way through your birth chart and character, but veritable knowledge about your true self does make you wiser.
