and necessary?it seems like the concepts are diametrically opposed, kind of like the argument between orignal sin vs. innate goodness or gnosticism.
when looking at a birthchart, one can make the argument that such and such 'tendency' (aspect or placement) exists and that it must be altered, gotten rid of, or at the very least expanded upon or balanced out, and that these unconscious tendencies are the cause of suffering (lack of perspective being filtered through a particular aspect or placement) in the native's life. but what if it's just the opposite and we can only be who we truly are by embracing our charts completely? why does it seem the two concepts run completely counter to one another?
for example, my venus in sag means i am extremely idealistic and faithful about love. adding to that is my AC being the exact midpoint of my neptune and venus, at a 5 deg orb each. obviously this has made me extraordinarily foolish in the realm of love, picking partners who effed with me big time, because i believed love to be transformational, etc etc. but maybe the problem wasn't that i was too idealistic, just that i didn't apply that aspect correctly; that in fact i SHOULD go with my idealism and faith, and that if i DON'T i am doing myself a disservice. that it is in fact a gift. this way i look at this aspect pattern as deeply inspired, intuitive and when applied correctly is a great ability to hone in on the essence of my sense of love, and an incredible resilience.
maybe this is too simplistic, but it seems like it has to be one way or the other and we tend to view things through a negative lense in general, and i'm thinking maybe what we need to be doing is running 'with' our inborn tendencies, and doing so wholeheartedly, rather than away from them.. thoughts?
