Hard Aspects: Engine of Growth

When planets form 90 degrees (Square) or 180 degrees (Opposition). They collide and conflict.
Ex: If Moon (Emotion) and Saturn (Restriction) are at 90 degrees, you suppress yourself saying “I want to cry (Moon) but I shouldn’t! (Saturn)”. But this tension becomes powerful energy to improve life.

Soft Aspects: Innate Talents

When planets form 120 degrees (Trine) or 60 degrees (Sextile). They help and support each other.
Ex: If Mercury (Intellect) and Jupiter (Expansion) are at 120 degrees, you love learning and have great eloquence. You might become lazy because it’s so easy you don’t appreciate it.

Life is a Dance of Hard and Soft

A good chart is not one with only soft aspects. When appropriate hardships (Hard) and talents (Soft) blend, we become protagonists who overcome trials and blossom talents.
