The planets in your birth chart depict thought-cell groups within your soul or character. Their power, harmony or discord indicates a general thought-cell tendency derived from your pre-human experiences.
But thought-cells are not static. Your birth chart reveals their state of development at the time of your birth and subsequently they acquire (1) new and more specialized trends consistent with their human environmental needs and (2) more energy from experiences of the same planetary type.
These experiences are of the outer-plane and the inner-plane. Your family life environment – the home in which you lived – provided a setting that influenced your thought-cell conditioning and development.
The atmosphere in your home may have been calm, safe, warm, volatile, cold, angry, hostile, insecure, uncertain, pleasant, easy-going, friendly, frightening or coercive and it played a powerful role in the conditioning of your thought-cells.
And your inner-plane environment – the progressed aspects that formed in your birth chart – provided potent inner-plane experiences in the form of planetary energy.
A progressed aspect during its timeframe aka orb of influence adds energy to the thought-cells specified by the planets given them unusual activities.
Those planets in your chart with above average astrodyne power, in particular your dominant planet, explain the type of environment that their thought-cells were naturally inclined to attract: and the events and conditions you experienced provided you with thought-cell development.
Environment facilitates thought-cell development
Your environment sustains thought-cell development and the experiences it provides have been of the Mercury type, Mars type, Saturn type, or of some other planetary type.
They have been brought together in certain intensities of harmony or discord – as indicated by the aspects the planets form – and relate more directly to definite departments of life – the houses in which the planets are located.
But your thought-cell development at birth has not been the result of human-life experiences. It has not been in response to experiences in bookkeeping, finances, trading, computing, conventional relations, driving a car, cooking, studying books, writing, lecturing or science.
Your pre-human-life Mars experiences may have been such that given a proper human environment they were easily developed to give mechanical ability, or ability as a surgeon or soldier.
The Saturn experiences may be such that given a proper human environment they readily gave aptitude in organizing and buying.
The Jupiter experiences may have been such that given a proper human environment they developed salesmanship ability.
But until conditioned by your local environment after human birth your thought-cells are merely natural aptitudes and not abilities ready to be put into actual practice.
Until conditioned by environment and given specific human habit-systems of expression, the desires of your thought-cells may work to attract a wide variety of events characteristic of the planets mapping them and the departments of life indicated by the houses they rule.
Conditioning is of crucial importance and you can, through deliberate conditioning, teach or train your thought-cells to desire much more fortunate events, but events must be compatible with your age and education.
A progressed aspect that brings marriage when you are 25 won’t bring marriage when you are 9; and a progressed aspect that brings a change in your job position when you are 35 won’t bring a promotion when you are 73.
And no progressed aspect, even when highly favorable, will bring you a job if you don’t have the education, training and experience to perform it.
A progressed aspect stimulates thought-cell activity and thought-cells working from the inner-plane can only attract events consistent with their conditioning and this includes your age and education.
Thought-cell conditioning
Your Sun thought-cells may have been conditioned toward making you egotistical and overbearing, or toward making you respectful and considerate.
Your Moon thought-cells may have been conditioned toward mental and emotional instability, or toward a liking for common people and caring for the weak.
Your Mercury thought-cells may have been conditioned toward voluble but unimportant conversation, or toward gaining knowledge.
Your Venus thought-cells may have been conditioned toward undue interest in the opposite sex and pleasure, or toward good taste and appreciation of art.
Your Mars thought-cells may have been conditioned toward accident and strife, or toward constructive effort.
Your Jupiter thought-cells may have been conditioned toward self-indulgence and extravagance, or toward religion, charity and good will.
Your Saturn thought-cells may have been conditioned toward worry and self-pity, or toward system, organization and economy.
Your Uranus thought-cells may have been conditioned toward radicalism and eccentricity, or toward originality and inventiveness.
Your Neptune thought-cells may have been conditioned toward fantasy and wishful thinking, or constructive imagination and drama.
And your Pluto thought-cells may have been conditioned toward being coerced by others, or toward cooperating in group activity.
The aspects a planet forms signifies a thought-cell trend but in some small degree your experiences after birth encourage the ten types of thought-cells to express in one of the directions indicated; and the habit-systems they form determine your behavior and the event they’ll attract when they’re stimulated by a minor or major progressed aspect.
