Hermetic astrology is dedicated to providing you with evidence-based astrological facts. It knows that as a modern-day Aquarian Age soul you want truthful answers to important personal questions.
You’re asking who am I? why was I born into a particular family and cultural environment? And why do I attract the events and conditions I do?
To get an understanding of what’s going on you have to go back to your soul’s point of differentiation and the dynamic force aka capacity it acquired at that time to attract certain experiences and repel others. It’s called polarity.
Your point of differentiation refers to the time when you became distinct or specialized and got launched on your cyclic journey to acquire intelligence and ability through experience.
Your soul’s polarity is a quality of vibration that exerts an attractive power in certain directions and a repellent power in others. It ensures your soul will attract and be attracted to those experiences that are needed to develop it special attributes and shy away from and repel those that aren’t.
Polarity accounts for the training your soul gets through the type and number of experiences it attracts and determines the special kind of work it will eventually perform most effectively in cosmic society.
This work that your soul is naturally able to do better than any other was determined at its differential moment and right from the start of its evolutionary journey it has attracted and repelled life experiences, each one in some way contributing to the development of the special kind of intelligence and ability that defines its reason for being.
Assess your soul’s polarity
Your soul’s polarity is revealed in your birth chart by the planetary family of its Ego; the zodiac signs aka state of celestial life; and degree of emanation.
As it evolved through various astral and physical forms your soul, due to its original attractive and repulsive qualities, has had repeated experiences with life-matters, objects and intelligences belonging to each of the ten planetary types but it responds more strongly to the vibrations of one particular planet, most likely the dominant planet in your birth chart, which is its ruler.
And its attitude, or mental reaction, to the conditions it encountered has also been peculiar to its polarity so the general trend of your soul’s impulses is revealed by the signs occupied by the planets, their degree of emanation, and the decanates occupied by the Sun, Moon, Mercury and ascendant.
The planets by their house positions reveal a potential to experience events associated with each department of life although events are not specified and are facilitated by your local environment.
A house containing a planet indicates your soul has had previous experience with its life-matters and the indicated thought-cell response will continue to express and work to attract events associated with it throughout your life.
On the other hand, an inactive birth chart house can indicate life-matters that have no attraction for your soul and are being repelled.
So, your birth chart clearly reveals your soul’s polarity and explains why you’re living the life you live.
Take home message
Your birth chart accurately maps the energy composition of your character and the direction in which these energies are flowing when you were born.
Your character and ability undergo continuous development and change.
Your soul’s polarity accounts for the special education and training it gets as its attracts and repels experiences. It determines the special kind of work your soul will eventually perform most effectively in cosmic society.
If you’re a male soul you have a positive polarity and if you’re a female soul you have a negative polarity and you have a twin soul of the opposite polarity.
Your point of differentiation is where you and your soul-mate separated and where you will ultimately rejoin.
