Your birth chart depicts a unique array of aspects, but it’s not a fortuitous arrangement. That’s because the chart is a map of your character and the aspects depict states of consciousness called thought-compounds built into your astral body by evolutionary experience.
Birth chart aspects show how your character has been built by experience up to the time of your birth. They’re classified as neutral, harmonious or discordant.
They’re recorded on your chart’s aspect grid along with their power and harmony or discord data and Hermetic astrology helps you make sense of what they all mean.
Measurement makes it easy to determine your strongest, best and worst aspects, and the strongest, best and worst aspect formed by each planet, ascendant and Midheaven. This is valuable information.
Your chief interest is in those aspects with the highest power and harmony or discord scores.
Aspects with high power scores map thought-compounds possessing a high concentration of desire energy that’s going to make its presence felt by influencing your thoughts, feelings and actions and attracting major life events.
