Let’s talk about the power of environment

The constructive and destructive thoughts and feelings your objectively experience are the tip of a massive mental iceberg. Commonly known as your unconscious mind it’s submerged and hidden from you.

Your unconscious mind or soul resides on an astral plane. It has a vibratory rate corresponding to the quality of its thoughts and feelings, and has contact through the law of association with other souls having similar thoughts and ideas. These inner-plane facts apply to all human souls.

Your unconscious soul-mind aka character is composed of harmonious and discordant thought-compounds.

Desire is an internal driver. It impels you to act and behave. You tend to follow the crowd and your behavior rarely follows a reasoned course of conduct. It’s a well-established set of feeling habits. Unconscious thought-cell activity works to attract events that reflect how it feels.

Harmonious thought-cells possess harmonious desire energy. They attract fortunate events and conditions. Discordant thought-cells possess discordant desire energy. They attract unfortunate events and conditions. Your life is just your thought-cell activity doing its thing.

A best outcome occurs when you use your birth chart to evaluate your character and apply its knowledge as best you can. It details your potential to behave in a certain way in a particular environment, but you don’t have to behave in the way indicated. You can change.

Your unconscious soul-mind aka character expresses in an outer-world environment. Some say it’s the invisible hand that overpowers personal characteristics. It’s not true. Just more disinformation you have navigate.

Knowledge of your outer-world environment provides a partial picture of what’s going in. A complete picture requires your birth chart. It reveals that your greater soul consciousness is embedded with powerful desire-urges that are working to attract events and conditions that reflect how they feel.

Two dynamic environments influence what you do

When it comes to your life aka intelligence and ability development the situational force called environment is all powerful and at all times you’re being influenced by two dynamic environments: A non-physical astrological environment and a physical material environment.

Your inner-world astrological environment is revealed to you by your birth chart and your outer-world physical environment is revealed by your senses.

Your local environment provides your birth chart with a frame of reference. 

Circumstance influences what you do and how you develop. Your astrological environmental aka progressed chart provides new circumstances.

You can’t ignore the power of environment. The realization of birth chart potential increases as environmental resistance decreases.

Your birth environment influenced the expression and conditioning of your not-conscious desire-urges. You were altered by your external circumstances. It provided political and religious beliefs, facilitated certain events and resisted others. It controlled what you did and couldn’t do.

From the get-go you engaged with your physical environment. Your mother, father, sisters, brothers, home life, food, water, heat and cold influenced what you did. Comfortable-pleasant contact triggered a harmonious thought-cell response and uncomfortable-unpleasant contact triggered a discordant thought-cell response.

You imitated your parents. You learned social speech by watching your parents, brothers, sisters and other children. Your significant others played a powerful role in your development. They had aspirations for you and you had to gain their approval. You watched and imitated and they watched and criticized or praised. You’re inclined to observe and imitate throughout your life.

Your environment caused you to feel pleasure and pain and you quickly learned pain avoidance behaviors.

Your social environment included people and places: all your human associates and maybe your non-human friends.

Your environment played the chief role in determining your identity. Your observing stimulated ideas about what you would like to be. Influenced by your thought-cell makeup you chose to become a plumber, police officer, baseball player, politician, dancer, doctor, scientist, writer, florist, mechanic or seaweed farmer.

You felt anger, fear, hope, joy, pride and uncertainty. First experiences set a trend. You developed habits. Now you’re a complex pattern of habits.

Your character mapped by the planets and signs in your birth chart interacts with your environment. The Aquarian age environment is vast but the satisfaction of your unconscious desires is limited by place where you live and personal circumstances.

Your outer-world environment is in a constant state of change but the nature of the energies transmitted by the planets and zodiac signs and the nature of the aspects stays the same.

A hunter 10,000 years ago expressed an aggressive urge that desired to kill animals and enemies and a hunter today expresses the same desire. What has changed is the environment. Yesterday’s hunter used a stick or spear (and probably hunted animals that are now extinct) and today’s hunter uses a gun.

And while people have always taken steps to protect themselves (Saturn), burglar alarms, smoke alarms, seat belts, antibiotics and condoms are rather new safety devices.

No doubt the Aries hunter became the leader of his tribe and the Gemini hunter kept everyone informed about events that occurred on the hunt. Later, the Aries tribe invented powerful dynasties and royal families while the Gemini tribe invented pencils and printing presses.

The energies of the zodiac signs always express in their own distinct manner, but environment influences their mode of expression. 

The characteristic influence of the aspects hasn’t change either. Ever since…the square aspect has caused obstacles that played a key role in the development of soul intelligence and ability. And the trine aspect has always attracted fortunate events and conditions. But Aquarius facilitates events that could not have happened at any other time in history.

Winning $20 million in Lotto for instance, or flying to the Moon in a spacecraft, or driving a car, watching television or surfing the internet. The environment also supports a large variety of unfortunate-bad events. Angry people shoot guns that kill, sexual permissiveness transmits deadly viruses and greed destroys rainforests; and anger, sex and greed are all as old as time.  

Your unconscious thought-cell activity expressing in your outer-world environment attracts events that define your life-story. Whatever you think, say and is determined by unconscious desire. You become what you desire.

The planets in your birth chart by their house positions indicate unconscious desire-urges expressing through life-matters, activities and social relationships and your local environment determines what can and can’t happen. A person suffering from multiple sclerosis can’t be cured because at the moment there is no cure.

Birth chart data reveals aptitudes and your potential to develop human skills and abilities but it does not indicate if your social urge will find expression through dancing, singing or designing clothes; or if your aggressive urge will find expression through building houses, playing competitive sports or joining the army. Opportunities provided by your local outer-world environment influence what you can do.

The outer-world environments specified by the houses in your birth are inclined to stay the same. You should know the key life-matters, activities and people influencing your life and always remember that an event can only occur if your environment supports it.

Knowledge evolves. Astrological knowledge evolves too. Your life is influenced by two powerful environments: Your inner-world astrological environment and your outer-world physical environment.
