How to learn aspects on your own chart
Aspects aren’t learned from a table — they’re learned on yourself. Ask Viki to show your tightest aspects and explain each through your own life: where you recognise that conflict or that talent. Five of your own aspects understood to the end give more than forty memorised.
Why tables don’t work
A chart has ten planets and five main aspects — hundreds of combinations on paper. Learning them as a list is impossible and unnecessary. But you yourself have five-seven significant ones, and each you can recognise in your own behaviour.
The order
- «Show my tightest aspects» — start with those with an orb under a degree.
- For each ask: «explain what it means and what it looks like in life».
- Say whether you recognise yourself. If not — ask her to come at it from another side.
- Work out which are tense and which easy, and what you do with them.
- Only then move to the less exact ones.
What to grasp about each type
- Conjunction — the planets are fused, hard to tell apart.
- Sextile — an opportunity that works if you use it.
- Square — a conflict of two needs; skills grow out of it.
- Trine — a talent given free, and therefore often unnoticed.
- Opposition — a see-saw, usually projected onto other people.
The strong question
«What’s my most uncomfortable aspect and what has it given me?» The answer is usually that piece of biography the person considered a problem — and it turns out to have been a workshop.
Then — other people’s charts
When your own aspects have become clear, read a close person’s chart. There you don’t know the answer in advance, and that’s real practice.
Start with the tightest — there are only a few.
