Your character is a bundle of desires, impulses, thoughts, feelings and behaviors; and your life is just your character doing its thing in an environmental setting.
It’s chiefly composed of ten dynamic psychological urges that have you doing this, that and the other; and the planets in your birth chart measure their strength and functionality.
The relative strength of each urge is measured by its corresponding planets astrodyne power score; and those urges with above average power spur you into action.
Their functionality and potential to produce favorable or unfavorable outcomes is measured by their harmony or discord scores. Harmonious desire energy works to attract and demonstrate fortunate events and conditions; and discordant desire energy works to attract and demonstrate unfortunate events and conditions.
Time measures your daily life and at any moment in time you’re taking action to satisfy an unsatisfied desire.
The Sun in your birth chart is the marker for your power urge and desire for significance. It’s been with you since the start of your evolutionary journey so it’s your oldest urge but it may not be the strongest. Its development is dependent on events involving power and significance which may have been few or many. Whatever... you’ve got a sense of self-worth that has you feeling like a VIP.
So, your life is a significance trip and you make your mark by developing skills and abilities, achieving things, crowing about your achievements and asserting power. You’re focused on maintaining or enhancing your perceived place in society. Praise for achievement gives your self-esteem a boost; but if there’s discordant desire embedded in your power urge you’re inclined to abuse your positional power, dominate, and enhance your self-worth by criticising and disparaging others.
The strength of a not-conscious urge is measured by its astro-marker’s astrodyne power score and if the Moon has above average astrodyne power your domestic urge is strong and constantly influencing what you think, feel and do. More of your time is spent thinking about your home and family, raising children and responding to their needs. But if there’s discordant desire embedded in your domestic urge you’re inclined to experience domestic problems and unhappy moments with your home and family life.
If Mercury has above average astrodyne power your intellectual urge is strong and constantly influencing what you do. It’s urging you to get educated, learn new things and solve problems by logical reasoning rather than flimsy guesswork. Your education provides a foundation for a career where you can employ your intelligence and ability in making a living. But if there’s discordant desire embedded in your intellectual urge your thinking can go haywire and you’re predisposed to make wrong decisions.
If Venus has above average astrodyne power your social urge is strong and constantly influencing what you think, feel and do. It’s urging you to socialise, seek companionship and give and receive affection. You just want to have social fun hanging with friends; and in response to aging knees you’re hosting sedate dinner parties rather than dancing at the disco. But if there’s discordant desire embedded in your social urge there’ll be unhappy relations with loved ones, social distress and tears at the end of a love affair.
If Mars has above average astrodyne power your aggressive urge is strong and constantly influencing what you think, feel and do. It’s urging you to compete and to take aggressive action in a conflict situation. The challenge to survive requires initiative and energetic effort and your incessant desire for sex has to be satisfied. You’re eating and drinking to keep the engine running; but if there’s discordant desire embedded in your aggressive urge reckless impulse puts you in danger, anger boils over into violence, sex gets you into strife and speed makes you accident prone.
If Jupiter has above average astrodyne power your religious urge is strong and constantly influencing what you think, say and do. It’s urging you to live a worthwhile moral life, attend church, be generous and do good. Your desire for abundance has you believing the common misconception that your success in life is measured by the amount of money you make: So you’re making lots and living an excessively expensive lifestyle. But if there’s discordant desire embedded in your religious urge you’re inclined to be extravagant, self-indulgent, over optimistic, conceited and obese.
If Saturn has above average astrodyne power your security urge is strong and constantly influencing what you think, say and do. It’s the part of you that is selfish, greedy, fearful, pessimistic and complaining; and it’s urging you to work, shoulder responsibility and play it safe. Your basic survival involves the acquisition of food, clothing and shelter and money from work buys these things. Loss and suffering are inevitable and you’re doing all you can to prevent poverty and disease; but if there’s discordant desire embedded in your security urge there’ll be burdens, trials and moments of despair.
If Uranus has above average astrodyne power your individualistic urge is strong and constantly influencing what you think, say and do. It’s urging you to be different and to display your one-of-a-kind uniqueness. So, your hair is green, you’re living in a tree, and you firmly believe that life on Earth originated on Mars. Your desire for freedom has you rebelling against restriction and your distinctive thoughts give your insight into things that most ordinary folk can’t see. But if there’s discordant desire embedded in your individualistic urge you’ll feel discontentment and sudden, unexpected events involving human associates will turn your life upside down and instigate major change.
If Neptune has above average astrodyne power your utopian urge is strong and constantly influencing what you think and do. It’s urging you to escape harsh reality so you’re fantasizing about an idyllic life with a perfect lover, ease and riches; and you’re watching movies, playing computer games and/or reading romantic fiction. In your dreams you can be anyone and do anything you want; but if there’s discordant desire embedded in your utopian urge you can tell lies, cheat, deceive, want something for nothing, be easily fooled and take drugs to escape physical, mental and/or emotional pain.
If Pluto has above average astrodyne power your universal welfare urge is strong and constantly influencing what you think and do. It’s urging you to play team sports or join a group of like-minded people to achieve a worthwhile goal. Your desire for universal welfare has you doing what you can to make this world a better place by contributing to the common good. It measures your spirituality; but if there’s discordant desire embedded in your universal welfare urge you can engage in anti-social (criminal) behavior and bullying or be the victim of threats, intimidation and coercive control.
