Birth chart aspects connect departments of life

The aspects formed by the planets in your birth chart are not fortuitous or accidental. They map thought-compounds embedded in your soul, reveal how your life has been formatted by previous experience and accurately depict your personal reality.

The events and conditions you experience are mapped in your birth chart and mirrored in your soul.

The houses in your chart correspond to specific areas of your outer-world life and the aspects the planets form reveal how the life-matters, activities and people they rule have connected.

A planet in a house denotes a special trend which is specified in regard to harmony or discord by its aspects.

A planet’s network of aspects maps a diverse array of thought-compounds that influence the affairs of the house it occupies; and it’s likely that the life-matters ruled by your keynote houses are being influenced by harmonious and discordant aspects.

So, you’re destined to experience fortunate and unfortunate events that will play a key role in your life story.

Each aspect maps a thought-compound that’s been built into your greater soul consciousness by a feeling neutral or pleasant or painful experience associated with the house or houses it connects.

The nature of the connection is characterized by the aspect’s keyword.

A conjunction aspect maps a prominence thought-compound and a parallel aspect maps an intensity thought-compound. Their feeling neutral – no-harmony, no-discord – thought-cell activity is concentrated on the affairs of the house where the planets in aspect are located.

All the other aspects map thought-compounds that connect the life-matters ruled by different houses in ways that are harmonious and fortunate or discordant and unfortunate.

A harmonious aspect maps an agreeable association. It depicts a thought-compound that’s embedded with feelings of pleasure.

A harmonious connection is mapped by a trine, sextile or semisextile aspect.

A trine aspect maps a very fortunate luck connection and a sextile aspect maps a fortunate opportunity connection. Both aspects indicate that you’ll benefit from favorable events and conditions.

A discordant aspect maps a disagreeable association. It depicts a thought-compound that’s embedded with feelings of pain.

A discordant connection is mapped by an opposition, square, sesquisquare or semisquare aspect.

An opposition aspect maps an unfortunate separation connection and a square aspect maps a stressful obstacle connection. Both aspects indicate difficulties due to unfortunate events and conditions.

A sesquisquare aspect maps a disturbing agitation connection and a semisquare aspect maps an annoying friction connection. Both aspects temporarily disturb your peace of mind so you’re trying to work out how best to escape the pain and discomfort.

Aspects and you

When judging the functional status of each department of life every aspect to the planets in or associated with its corresponding house are assessed as indicating an event or condition that for better or worse is influencing what’s going on.

You can assess harmonious birth chart aspects as beneficial, gainful and fortunate and discordant aspects as detrimental, difficult and unfortunate.

A harmonious aspect is letting you know that a harmonious thought-compound it working to attract fortunate events affecting the life-matters ruled by the houses where the planets in aspect are located.

A discordant aspect is letting you know that a discordant thought-compound is working to attract unfortunate events affecting the life-matters ruled by the houses where the planets in aspect are located.

The discordant aspects map discordant states of feeling that are letting you know that you’re not getting it right and still have work to do in your pursuit of happiness, success and peace of mind.

Environment facilitates events. Constant contact with the life-matters, activities and people ruled by a keynote house makes it easy for its thought-compound connections to attract the fortunate or unfortunate events they desire.

The influence an aspect has on the areas of life it connects can be determined by the astrodyne power scores of the planets in aspect.

In any aspect the planet with the highest astrodyne power has the stronger influence so the life-matters ruled by the house where it is located exert dominance over the weaker planet and its department of life.

Aspects and houses

The houses indicate the event site so each aspect in your birth chart maps a thought-compound that’s working to attract an event, condition, circumstance or situation that associates the life-matters and people ruled by the houses it connects.

A house can have harmonious or discordant connections.  

A harmonious aspect maps a fortunate event, benefits affecting the indicated life-matters and agreeable relations with the people ruled by the houses.  

A discordant aspect maps an unfortunate event, difficulties affecting the indicated life-matters and disagreeable relations with the people ruled by the houses.

Your financial life, social life and career and your relations with partners, friends, parents, siblings and superiors all travel well-defined habitual pathways.

You’re a creature of habit and the planets in your birth chart by their house positions and aspect networks picture a diverse array of events and conditions that you’re destined to experience and how you feel about them.

Your character, as mapped by your whole chart, reveals how you will experience and deal with the separations, obstacles, agitation and friction you’re inclined to experience.

Discordant aspects map misguided learning that needs mending.
