The aspects formed by the planets in your birth chart depict thought-compounds in your astral body that work to attract events according to how they feel.
The thought-cells and thought-elements within a thought-compound possess the feeling energy they felt at the time of their formation. So, the aspects in your chart reveal how the thoughts and feelings associated with the aspecting planets were originally united.
Planets forming trine, sextile and semisextile aspects map feel good harmonious thought-compounds that work to attract favorable events and conditions; and planets forming opposition, square, sesquisquare and semisquare aspects map feel bad discordant thought-compounds that work to attract unfavorable events and conditions.
The events and conditions relate to the departments of life ruled by the aspecting planet’s house associations; and their inclined to occur when these planets are involved in a progressed aspect.
Harmonious progressed aspects provide the thought-cells ruled by a planet with a temporary supply of harmonious planetary energy; and discordant progressed aspects provide a temporary supply of discordant planetary energy, giving the thought-cells involved the impetus to attract unfavorable events.
But it’s likely that the type of activity possessed by your thought-cells due to the original conditions under which they were formed, as indicated by your birth chart, have undergone some reconditioning since your birth and when assessing the influence of any progressed aspect this is as important as the quality of the new energy being provided by the aspect.
A temporary supply of discordant progressed energy when added to harmoniously conditioned thought-cells may not alter their tendency to attract favorable conditions; and a temporary supply of harmonious progressed energy when added to discordantly conditioned thought-cells may not alter their tendency to attract unfavorable conditions.
When assessing the harmony or discord added to the thought-cells by a major progressed aspect both the harmony or discord of the progressed aspect and the birth chart harmony or discord of the thought-cells involved (mapped by the planets) are of equal importance.
Factcheck: The temporary supply of energy provided by a less permanent progressed aspect aka stellar aerial is limited in its power to cause thought-cells to behave in a manner that is different to their original training.
Four factors can influence the fortune or misfortune of an event
- The normal composition and activity of the thought-cells within your astral body being affected by the progressed aspect.
These thought-cells are mapped by the houses in your birth chart; and the harmony or discord of the planets in and associated with a house indicate their normal composition at birth.
The harmony or discord of each house in your birth chart indicates the way the thought-cells in each compartment of your astral body normally feel.
Harmonious thought-cells work to attract beneficial events and conditions. Discordant thought-cells work to attract detrimental events and conditions unless you do something to change the predisposition.
- The degree of harmony or discord added to these thought-cells as indicated by the harmony or discord of the progressed aspect being formed.
The fortune or misfortune of the event cannot be determined solely by the harmony or discord added by the new progressed aspect. The new energy modifies the normal feeling of pleasure or pain possessed by the thought-cells, but it does not change it completely.
A progressed trine, sextile or semisextile adds harmony. The trine adds more harmony than the sextile and the sextile adds more harmony than the semisextile.
A progressed opposition, square, sesquisquare or semisquare adds discordant energy. The opposition adds more discord than the square and the square adds more discord than the sesquisquare and semisquare which add about the same amount.
All things considered the fortune or misfortune of the event will be in proportion to the birth chart indicators as modified by the new energy being received.
- The other major progressed aspects in operation at the same time map rallying forces that can influence the thought-cells and the way they feel.
All the major progressed aspects in operation in your chart on a selected date map your total inner-plane weather conditions at that time. Each aspect maps a temporary stellar aerial which has the capacity to attract an event that replicates its nature.
So, a major progressed square aspect formed by two planets which are high in discord in your chart maps a stellar aerial that’s predisposed to attract a frustrating, obstacle event into your life.
But if at the same time there’s a major progressed trine aspect involving one of these planets, or another birth chart or major progressed planet, it maps a harmonious supply of astral energy and by tuning in on the harmony you can alter the degree of misfortune mapped by the progressed square aspect and reduce its severity.
On the other hand, several progressed square aspects operating at the same time can add to the degree of discord being felt by the thought-cells, making the event worse.
- Your general mental attitude tunes your consciousness to a particular type of feeling which can modify the fortune or misfortune of an indicated event.
You can in spite of hardship and misfortune maintain a positive, optimistic mental attitude which will modify the misfortune mapped by a discordant progressed aspect.
On the other hand, you can in spite of good fortune maintain a negative, pessimistic mental attitude which can modify the good fortune mapped by a harmonious progressed aspect.
The fortune or misfortune of an event usually works out in precisely the way indicated by the harmony and discord of the progressed aspect for one reason: you’re inclined to think and feel in the way indicated by the major progressed aspect. But the deliberate or chance use of mental alchemy, rallying forces or positive thinking can modify predisposed misfortune.
Key takeaways
The harmonious or discordant planetary energy added to the thought-cells by a temporary progressed aspect cannot be estimated by its harmony or discord.
The thought-cells have their permanent, normal birth chart harmony or discord and any harmony or discord added to them by a major progressed aspect is a deviation to their normal activity. It alters the normal way they feel.
A major progressed aspect adds harmony or discord to thought-cells that have already been trained to feel in a certain way.
A harmonious progressed aspect will add harmony to harmonious or discordant thought-cells; and a discordant progressed aspect will add discord to harmonious or discordant thought-cells.
A harmonious progressed trine aspect involving two discordant planets is unlikely to attract a fortunate luck event; and a discordant square aspect involving two harmonious planets is unlikely to attract an unfortunate obstacle event.
In both instances the normal activity of the thought-cells chiefly determines the type of event they’ll desire and attract.
Thought-cells are trained to feel in a way determined by their formative experience.
So, when estimating their mode of expression under a harmonious stimulus you have to consider their normal birth chart tendency and the harmony added by the harmonious progressed aspect; and when estimating their mode of expression under a discordant stimulus you have to consider their normal birth chart tendency and the discord added by the discordant progressed aspect.
A harmonious planet in a house depicts a thought-cell group that desires favorable events and conditions associated with its life matters; and a discordant planet depicts a thought-cell group that desires unfavorable events and conditions associated with its department of life.
It’s likely that when a harmonious birth chart house is adversely impacted by discord that you are not likely to suffer much from the temporary supply of progressed discord. And you’re likely to benefit greatly from a temporary supply of progressed harmony.
Remember that a minor progressed aspect reinforces a major progressed aspect but does not alter its harmony or discord; and that minor progressed aspects to birth chart or progressed planets map minor events.
The favorable and unfavorable events you experience are attracted by harmonious or discordant thought-cell activity: not the planets.
You’re referencing your birth chart to monitor the progressed aspects that stimulate the thought-cell activity associated with different departments of your life and the events it’s inclined to attract which play a key role in your intelligence and ability development.
