How Do You Get Going When the Going Gets Tough?
Challenges are part of life. But it helps to understand exactly how you’re perceiving the proverbial pain in neck.
In astrology, the idea of geometry between representational lights help us understand how these challenges arise.
1—The Opposition (180-degree angle)
Oppositions bring challenges often with other people. Because you tend to project onto others. (The term oppositional defiance is not for nothing.) It forces awareness, which we can glean according to how the light sits in your chart.
2—The Square (90-degree angle)
Squares forces awareness, too. In a different way. With squares, life can feel like a series of countless obstacles before we “get it right”. These obstacles are often self-generated. (That is, how you feel and think.)
As awful and self-defeating as that sounds, squares get the ball rolling because you WILL BE jolted out of complacency.
Sometimes it takes a transit to force awareness. But usually it’s a recurrent stone in your shoe that you want to resolve.
You get sick of yourself and change into another sort of person. Challenges can drag you down, as anyone of us living long enough on Earth will know, but we can literally choose to devolve or evolve. The latter is easy once you get handle of this dynamic in your life.
