the unconscious, negative qualities of the soul. Squares and oppositions convey tension and conflict, causing suffering. An individual who experiences conflicts consciously understands that both positive and negative qualities are necessary, but the outcome of their confrontation is not known. The psyche is influenced not only by external events, but also by internal processes that are not identifiable from an objective point of view.

Psychic relationships with related events are represented in the horoscope in symbolic form. They are the most essential objects of interpretation.

A. The shape of the horoscope.

The first visual impression of the whole structure of a horoscope is often given by its understanding, which is only justified by further more detailed analysis. The shape of the planetary configuration indicates the organization of the psyche and the "center of gravity" of the individual. Note that the Ascendant, MC and lunar bonds are not taken into account. There are 7 basic shapes. The most common is the “sprayed” form: 10 planets are evenly distributed around the circumference. This form gives a balanced outlook on life.

The assessment of this form depends on the degree of integration determined by the aspects and groupings of the planets in the Ascendant and the MC. Examples of well-integrated spray patterns: JF Dulles, T. Mann, Michelangelo. All of them had a wide range of activities.

Bowl shape. The planets occupy half of the horoscope, often separated by opposition. This form is characterized by a one-sided point of view; all contacts with the opposite half are made on the basis of reflection. If all the planets are below the horizon, the individual is extremely subjective and "unconscious"; if all the planets are above the horizon, it is objective and “conscious”. The filled part of the horoscope shows the shaping part of life, the rest is compensatory.

The shape of the “basket” is a “bowl” with a planet or coincidence placed outside it (“handle”). The “handle” must balance the influence of the other planets, as their only representative in half of the chart. This is the channel through which the planets manifest. Planets in the "bowl" aspecting the "handle" determine the quality of the channel. The effectiveness of the channel depends mainly on the position in sign and house of the singleton (remote planet).

The characteristic of the “handle” is determined by the direction of flow, vital energy. The shape of the "basket" gives highly concentrated, focused people (R. Wagner, A. Einstein, G. Rasputin, 3. Freud,) - they are all people of great personal power.

In the form of a "locomotive" - ​​a third of the horoscope is not occupied by planets. This indicates that one octave is not lived, forming the “Achilles heel” of man. However, often a person tries to fill an empty space and quite strongly compensates his weakness.

Knot shape. All planets are collected in a sector of 120 degrees. This indicates a person who is strongly concentrated on a narrow system of values, to the detriment of other interests.

The “sling” shape is also related to the “knot” as “basket” is to the “bowl”.

The “swing” shape is two dense constellations opposing each other. It breeds people of extremes.

The form of a horoscope is a pointer, an indicator of the level of organization of the psyche. The “dispersed” form corresponds to the least differentiated organization; the more accentuated the form, the rarer it is. Форма имеет значение и в связи с временными характеристиками (процесс разворачивания планетарного паттерна во time).

the sequence of planets in the horoscope is activated daily by the transit of the Ascendant, monthly by the Moon, annually by the Sun. The concept of form clarifies the structure of each day, month, year and the whole life of a person.

B. Distribution by octaves.

a) the octave of gestation: the meaning of the planets is most symbolic and is interpreted in connection with the mother.

b) the octave of childhood: the event is interpreted in relation to the structure of relationships in the family and children's fantasies.

c) octave of maturity: events are well remembered by the individual and verifiable. A person with a majority of the planets in this octave often feels in his youth that he has not yet "begin to live."

B. The main patterns of aspects.

The main aspect patterns: Grand Trine, Grand Cross and T-square are always important because forming complex archetypal constellations, they largely determine the character of a person.

Large trine - provides greater internal stability. The element involved by him indicates the unity and stability of functioning (Beethoven - the earthly Grand Trine - perception, sensation; Michelangelo - the water Grand Trine - emotions, feelings; Jits - the air Grand Trine - thinking; Churchill - the fiery Grand Trine - intuition. The quality of the planets determines the actual value of the Grand trine.Due to the allowable deviations (orbis), sometimes the Grand tritones are heterogeneous in the elements, which leads to a slight loss of stability (dissonant Grand Trine).

The Grand Cross is a form of maximum tension, but can give exceptional personality when allowed. Cardinal Large the cross is the most aggressive, the fixed (immobile) one is the most difficult to resolve, the moving Grand Cross is the easiest to work on improvement Gosse Retarder USA JF Dulles has a movable Grand Cross in the chart, indicating the ability to conduct extremely difficult negotiations.

T-square is a very dynamic shape and is often found in the horoscopes of strong personalities. T-square indicates a person who has fallen into difficult conditions, but who has the strength to subordinate them to his will. The mysterious and brilliant occultist Gurdjieff has three T-squares

Stellium - 3 or more planets in the opposite direction - focuses on the sign occupied by the planets; at the corresponding period of life. Charles Baudelaire has seven planets in the 8th house, confirming his great interest in sex and death. G. Galileo has 4 planets in the sign of Pisces, meaning work in solitude.

D. Constellations.

Констелляции планет показывают течение энергии во time. Each horoscope has its own, unique to him, system of aspects, which can be analyzed separately. Certain combinations promote the circulation of energy, others block it, dissipate it, and so on.

Often several planets stand out as if in an autonomous group. A pair of planets, separated from the whole system, regardless of the aspect between them, exchange energy only with each other. They can participate in the functioning of the whole only by creating sympathetic resonances to the rest of the planets. If each planet or personal point (ITU Ascendant, etc.) has at least two aspects, this is an indicator of great flexibility and the ability to rebuild. But when a planet is isolated at the end of an aspect, or has only squares and oppositions, the energy gets stuck.

In the horoscope of A. Hitler, Saturn in Leo at the end of the square indicates an extremely painful self-esteem, which led to destructive impulses.

In Gurdjieff's horoscope, each planet is coordinated into a common pattern - an excellent example of complete integration.

Let us analyze some of the main constellations found in horoscopes. The simplest constellation is a triangle, consisting of an opposition, a trine, and a sextile. Since energy flows along the line of least resistance, it will pass through the trine and sextile, softening the tension. oppositions. When this form is doubled i.e. образуются две оппозиции соединенные двумя тригонами и секстилями, то в этом случае энергия может циркулировать по периферии, почти не затрагивая oppositions.

D. Introversion and extraversion.

Libido, constantly fluctuating, can have a positive or negative charge. This charge corresponds to the extraversion-introversion polarity in psychology. In astrology положение большинства планет в женских знаках (земля и вода) соответствует интриверсии, в мужских (огонь и воздух) — экстраверсии. To this is added the sign of the Ascendant.

Examples of extroverts fire and air water and earth
Charles de Gaulle 10 1
Winston Churchill 9 2
Friedrich Nietzsche 8 3
Examples of introverts fire and air water and earth
Rembrandt 1 10
I. Stalin 2 9
M. Proust 3 8
I. Stravinsky 3 8
Goethe 3 8
Most horoscopes are balanced and the personality fluctuates between introversion and extroversion. E. Distribution by elements.

fire air earth water
C. G. Jung 3 3 3 2
Mao Tse-tung 2 4 3 2
A. Eniggain 4 1 4 2
Leonardo da Vinci 2 3 3 3
Jung's classification very accurately corresponds to the elements: fire - intuition, air - thinking, earth - sensation, water - sensuality.

In some people, some element dominates, while in others there are no planets at all. But the missing element is often unconsciously compensated.

The table shows people with a concentration of planets in one of the elements:
