Your life involves difficulties and mishaps. Unfortunate events occur. You struggle. Your intelligence and ability develop through discord.
You have discordant planets, signs, aspects and houses in your birth chart.
Discord manifests as separation, conflict, frustration, agitation, friction, difficulty, adversity, disadvantage, a poor performance, an inadequate response, conformity pressures, a rough patch, knock-downs, mess-ups, set-backs, dead-ends, recurring pain, discomfort, painful memories, trying circumstances, misfortune, heavy burdens, ineffective problem solving, disastrous consequences, destructive thoughts, self-damaging behavior, mental irregularities, cognitive dissonance, emotional torment, heartbreak, loss, anguish, suffering, stress, distress, wear and tear, health disorders, disease, injury, risk and exposure to danger.
Discord does not deny ability, but does make it difficult to develop.
The discordant aspects in your birth chart are nature’s way of ensuring you won’t stagnate. They map misguided thought-compounds built by experience that are working to attract unfortunate events and conditions. Your character is being built by pain and discomfort.
An opposition aspect maps a thought-compound that’s working to attract a separation event; a square aspect depicts a thought-compound working to attract an obstacle event; a sesquisquare maps a thought-compound working to attract an agitation event; and a semisquare maps a thought-compound that’s working to attract a friction event.
These aspects afford nature the assurance that your character won’t get stuck in a rut and cease developing.
The pain they cause you to feel – split-thinking, mental conflict, frustration, vexation, agitation, irritation and annoyance – initiates struggle and goads you into action. To eradicate the pain and establish peace of mind you have to do something. You’re rewarded with an increase in your intelligence and ability.
But every now and then nature makes it really tough.
When two planets forming an opposition aspect are square a third planet the aspect configuration is called a T-square; and when four planets form opposition and square aspects the aspect is called a grand square.
And in both instances the discordant thought-compounds involved are working to attract obstacle and separation events that trigger high-levels of mental and emotional distress.
In the case of the T-square, a double obstacle-separation thought-compound is working to attract obstacle and separation events involving and affecting the departments of life mapped by the houses occupied by the planets.
The discord involves specified thought-cell groups and definite life-matters, activities or people and if you have a T-square in your birth chart you have inside information that explains a particularly difficult life circumstance and what you can do to help yourself navigate the discord and relieve the mental distress and frustration you’re predisposed to experience.
In regard to the grand-square, a double separation-quadruple obstacle thought compound is working to attract separation and obstacle events involving and affecting the life-matters and people associated with the houses occupied by the planets.
The discord involves specified thought-cell groups, life-matters and people and if you have a grand square in your birth chart knowledge of it not only brings self-understanding but allows you to monitor the environmental discord and take precautionary measures to modify and contain the severe mental conflict, vexation and frustration you’re predisposed to experience.
The T-square and grand square don’t deny ability or success but as sources of astrological discord they do map a predisposition to attract unfortunate events and troublesome environmental conditions that, as difficult learning experiences, make the going tough.
Discordant thought-compounds working to attract unfortunate events can be changed through mental alchemy. Their discord predispositions aren’t inevitable. You can change your misguided thinking and behavior and make it effective and constructive.
If you wish to attract more fortunate events than those indicated by the aspects in your birth chart, you must change the conditioning of the thought-compounds in your astral body which they map. To the extent you can do this will your experience more fortunate events.
