Let’s talk about birth chart aspects

Your birth chart is a self-resource that enhances self-awareness and self-understanding. So, you’re assessing your chart to learn about yourself. It provides inside information pertaining to your greater soul consciousness aka character that’s not available from any other source.

The planets are the dynamic factors. By their sign and house locations they depict ten not-conscious drivers and their attitude-motivations and environmental associations.

And now, with a clear understanding of your character and your relations with environment, as mapped by your birth chart, you’re in a position to assess the events that will define your life story.

They’re mapped by the aspects formed by the planets.

An aspect is an angular relationship between any two planets aka their distance apart in the zodiac or degree of declination.

Their calculation has always been a time-consuming task, but now they’re calculated by a computer program which records each aspect on your chart’s aspect grid relieving you of the task and freeing up your time.

A birth chart aspect maps a thought-compound formed by two thought-cell groups that has been built into your character aka astral body by experience. It’s a psychological memento of your evolutionary past.

Your chart’s network of aspects reveals how your thought and feeling world has been structured by events that may have been constant, regular or infrequent and harmonious and pleasant or discordant and unpleasant. And your thought-cell response to the experience was embedded with desire energy aka feelings of pleasure or pain.

So, the aspects in your birth chart reveal how your thought and feeling world has been organized by experience and your life as a human soul, in accordance with birth chart indicators, is predisposed to pan out as events mapped by the aspects and characterized by their keywords occur.

The aspects link different departments of life aka houses so your life becomes one interlocking chamber.

Thought-compounds are kept active and stimulated by regular experience.

Aspects are classified as neutral, harmonious and discordant

There are three neutral aspects: the conjunction, parallel and inconjunct. The inherent driving force is composed and unemotional and neutral in regard to feelings of pleasure or pain.  

Neutrality signs for an absence of pleasure and pain and a feeling neutral response to events and conditions.

There are three harmonious aspects: the semisextile, sextile and trine. The inherent driving force is harmonious and motivated by pleasure; and a harmonious aspect in your birth chart maps a thought-compound embedded with feelings of pleasure aka feel-good desire.

Harmonious aspects map thought-compounds that work to attract fortunate events and conditions aka pleasant learning experiences.

Harmony signs for fortunate events, pleasure, support, comfort and peace of mind.

There are four discordant aspects: the semisquare, sesquisquare, square and opposition. The inherent driving force is discordant and motivated by pain; and a discordant aspect in your chart maps a thought-compound embedded with feelings of pain aka feel-bad desire.

Discordant aspects map thought-compounds that work to attract difficulties and unfortunate events > aka painful learning experiences. They can be dissolved and retrained to attract fortunate events through mental alchemy.

Discord signs for unfortunate events, difficulties, pain, discomfort and mental torment.

Aspects map stellar aerials

The aspects in your birth chart indicate stellar aerials or lines of force extending through your astral body, much as nerves run through your physical body, that pick-up radio-fashion the astral vibrations of the planets they connect.

And every stellar aerial according to its length, as indicated by the nature of its astro-marker, has the property of transmitting the energy it picks up in a harmonious manner or complicated by discordant static.

You can view each aspect in your birth chart as a thought line which picks up radio fashion energy of a quality indicated by its length.

Energy of great volume is picked up by aerials mapped by aspects with high astrodyne power scores.

If a planet has no aspects its corresponding thought-cell group acts as an antenna that has a short loop aerial.

Birth chart aspects map permanent stellar aerials but those with discordant thought content can be changed, modified and dissolved through the application of mental alchemy.

The planets in your birth chart form aspects and the whole ensemble – planets, signs, aspects and houses – depicts a road map script that indicates how your life will pan out if left to run its own course.

You’re assessing the aspects in your birth chart to learn about the harmonious and discordant thought-compounds within your soul-consciousness that are working to attract fortunate and unfortunate events.

Aspect data must be verified with real-life experience. Some aspects, due to your age or environmental circumstance, may not have attracted the event they indicate but that doesn’t mean it won’t occur.
