SPEAKER_00: Hello everyone, welcome back to the Astrology for Beginners podcast.
0:07
SPEAKER_00: I'm your host, Stephanie Kate Boucher, and I am so happy to have you here.
0:12
SPEAKER_00: This is the podcast for you if you have ever wanted to learn how to read a natal chart,
0:18
SPEAKER_00: or were kind of interested in astrology and wished that you understood more about it,
0:23
SPEAKER_00: but didn't know where to begin,
0:25
SPEAKER_00: or it seemed too complicated and you didn't have the time or the resources to
0:30
SPEAKER_00: invest in learning it.
0:32
SPEAKER_00: My goal is to break things down for you episode by episode in the most simplified
0:37
SPEAKER_00: way that I can so that you can learn to speak the language of the stars.
0:42
SPEAKER_00: Thank you for learning astrology with me.
0:47
SPEAKER_00: Welcome astrology friends!
0:49
SPEAKER_00: We are here today to talk about a couple, and just a couple, of the minor aspects in astrology.
0:56
SPEAKER_00: We've spent the last few weeks talking about the major aspects like conjunctions,
1:02
SPEAKER_00: trines,
1:03
SPEAKER_00: sextiles,
1:04
SPEAKER_00: oppositions,
1:04
SPEAKER_00: and squares,
1:06
SPEAKER_00: all of which tend to shape our personalities and experiences in pretty big ways.
1:12
SPEAKER_00: And when you're reading your chart,
1:15
SPEAKER_00: or anyone else's chart for that matter,
1:18
SPEAKER_00: these are the aspects that you will want to look at,
1:20
SPEAKER_00: focus on,
1:21
SPEAKER_00: and make meaning from.
1:24
SPEAKER_00: That being said, there are some other aspects, though, which are called minor aspects.
1:31
SPEAKER_00: And minor aspects,
1:33
SPEAKER_00: as you might guess from the name,
1:34
SPEAKER_00: are called that because they are,
1:36
SPEAKER_00: in fact,
1:37
SPEAKER_00: minor,
1:38
SPEAKER_00: which is to say they have a very mild effect.
1:42
SPEAKER_00: That doesn't mean they don't have any effect,
1:45
SPEAKER_00: but they have a mild or minor effect in the overall grand scheme of things.
1:53
SPEAKER_00: So much so that I've heard a lot of astrologers say they don't really pay that much
1:58
SPEAKER_00: attention to them in a reading.
2:00
SPEAKER_00: For a couple of reasons, I think.
2:03
SPEAKER_00: One being that because these aspects create a more minor influence...
2:08
SPEAKER_00: there's a good possibility that that energy is going to be overshadowed or
2:14
SPEAKER_00: overwritten by other stronger,
2:17
SPEAKER_00: more powerful parts of the chart.
2:20
SPEAKER_00: We all have parts of our personality, for example, that are there,
2:25
SPEAKER_00: But they don't necessarily have the final say in our biggest moments in life, right?
2:30
SPEAKER_00: Like maybe you're someone who tends to feel a little bit cautious or you have some
2:36
SPEAKER_00: trepidation on the inside whenever you have an opportunity to take a risk or try
2:42
SPEAKER_00: something brand new.
2:44
SPEAKER_00: But even though you may have that tendency to feel cautious or fearful,
2:50
SPEAKER_00: you tend to be someone who ultimately is going to take that risk anyway.
2:54
SPEAKER_00: And so which of those traits ends up being more significant in your life?
3:00
SPEAKER_00: Is it the fact that you feel that initial sense of fear or trepidation?
3:05
SPEAKER_00: Or is it that tendency to be a risk taker?
3:09
SPEAKER_00: And I think many of us would probably agree that the risk-taking ends up becoming
3:15
SPEAKER_00: the more defining trait.
3:17
SPEAKER_00: So minor aspects can be a bit like that.
3:20
SPEAKER_00: They can tell you a little something about someone,
3:23
SPEAKER_00: but it's not the most powerful piece of information about them that you have access to.
3:29
SPEAKER_00: The other reason some astrologers don't really use the minor aspects that much is
3:35
SPEAKER_00: that even when these minor aspects do end up becoming a bigger theme in a person's life,
3:42
SPEAKER_00: it's probably the case that that particular energy from that minor aspect or a very
3:49
SPEAKER_00: similar energy to that minor aspect is going to show up in other parts of the chart
3:55
SPEAKER_00: where it's more obvious and more potent.
3:58
SPEAKER_00: Because the major parts of our personalities and the major themes that we
4:03
SPEAKER_00: experience in a lifetime don't simply show up in one place in the chart and in that
4:09
SPEAKER_00: one place only.
4:11
SPEAKER_00: Typically,
4:12
SPEAKER_00: the biggest themes for our lives generally are going to be things that show up in
4:16
SPEAKER_00: our charts repeatedly in multiple different ways.
4:21
SPEAKER_00: And in fact,
4:22
SPEAKER_00: one of the key guidelines that many people say to use when you're reading a chart
4:27
SPEAKER_00: is to look for an idea or a theme to show up three different times or in three
4:34
SPEAKER_00: different places in the chart before you attribute a lot of meaning to it.
4:40
SPEAKER_00: That is how you're going to know that a concept is going to be a major thread in someone's life.
4:46
SPEAKER_00: So we always want to look for the ideas that show up repeatedly because those that
4:51
SPEAKER_00: do are going to have a much bigger impact on someone than something that only shows
4:57
SPEAKER_00: up once or just perhaps shows up in a minor way.
5:00
SPEAKER_00: So for example, maybe you'd see in a chart that someone had their son in a conjunction with Uranus.
5:10
SPEAKER_00: And because it's a Uranus conjunction,
5:13
SPEAKER_00: you suspect that this is going to be a person who is differently minded.
5:17
SPEAKER_00: They're unique in some way.
5:20
SPEAKER_00: But you're wondering if that aspect is more likely to manifest as someone who is quirky or eccentric.
5:28
SPEAKER_00: or perhaps metaphysical even, because Uranus rules things like astrology and metaphysics, for example.
5:36
SPEAKER_00: Or if it's someone who is maybe rebellious and really wants to buck convention and
5:41
SPEAKER_00: go their own way in life.
5:43
SPEAKER_00: Now, in some ways, those are the same thing, because it can take a lot of courage to be quirky.
5:49
SPEAKER_00: But in some ways, they're different, distinct things.
5:52
SPEAKER_00: I think rebelliousness tends to have a more fiery quality to it, for example.
5:57
SPEAKER_00: So what you could do in that case is you could look at the chart to see if that
6:03
SPEAKER_00: rebellious energy shows up in more than one spot.
6:08
SPEAKER_00: Maybe you look at the north node and you see that it's in the sign of Aquarius.
6:13
SPEAKER_00: Aquarius is ruled by Uranus and the North Node is where you're headed and where the
6:20
SPEAKER_00: universe will typically always supply you with opportunities for growth when you
6:25
SPEAKER_00: seek them out.
6:26
SPEAKER_00: So there's more of that Uranus energy showing up in a really significant way.
6:31
SPEAKER_00: It still by itself doesn't necessarily tell you which of those two directions that
6:37
SPEAKER_00: we talked about is going to be the most prevalent.
6:40
SPEAKER_00: But maybe, maybe it's also true that this Aquarius north node is in the eighth house.
6:48
SPEAKER_00: Now,
6:48
SPEAKER_00: not only could this placement be about embracing uniqueness or spirituality,
6:54
SPEAKER_00: but there's also a power dynamic that gets dealt with in the eighth house.
6:58
SPEAKER_00: So you've got this north node in a really individualistic sign,
7:03
SPEAKER_00: a potentially rebellious sign in a house that deals with power dynamics.
7:09
SPEAKER_00: So this really could be someone who's here to shake things up and look at issues around authority.
7:15
SPEAKER_00: And then maybe you keep going and you keep looking around and you see that you've
7:20
SPEAKER_00: got Mars forming a square with Saturn.
7:23
SPEAKER_00: And wow,
7:24
SPEAKER_00: that's really going to create a lot of tension for someone around their actions
7:31
SPEAKER_00: being in conflict with the rules of society or the societal structures that feel
7:36
SPEAKER_00: restrictive or confining.
7:39
SPEAKER_00: And there's also likely going to be some pushback from authority figures with that
7:44
SPEAKER_00: aspect because Saturn represents authority.
7:48
SPEAKER_00: So that's looking like a really rebellious nature now, or at least the potential for it.
7:55
SPEAKER_00: And at this point, it's pretty safe to say that this will be someone who is unique, yes,
8:01
SPEAKER_00: but also very much inclined to buck tradition and throw out old norms and
8:05
SPEAKER_00: conventions and do things differently.
8:07
SPEAKER_00: This really could be someone who sees the world differently and is not afraid to
8:12
SPEAKER_00: push the envelope,
8:14
SPEAKER_00: so to speak.
8:15
SPEAKER_00: And you know this is true because you see it cropping up in their chart repeatedly.
8:21
SPEAKER_00: That's three times, right?
8:23
SPEAKER_00: Which is typically what happens.
8:26
SPEAKER_00: I recommend you try this out in your own chart to see which themes are popping up
8:32
SPEAKER_00: for you three or more times.
8:34
SPEAKER_00: I think you'll find some.
8:36
SPEAKER_00: So by now, you might be asking the obvious question, which is, why cover these at all?
8:41
SPEAKER_00: If they are minor and they don't necessarily tell us anything that we haven't
8:46
SPEAKER_00: perhaps already seen in some other aspect,
8:49
SPEAKER_00: why cover them?
8:51
SPEAKER_00: Well,
8:52
SPEAKER_00: people do hear about the minor aspects,
8:55
SPEAKER_00: and particularly people hear about the semisextiles and the quincunxes,
8:59
SPEAKER_00: which is what I'll discuss today.
9:01
SPEAKER_00: And they do want to know what these things mean.
9:04
SPEAKER_00: I do think it's worth having a basic understanding of them,
9:09
SPEAKER_00: or at least being able to define them,
9:12
SPEAKER_00: if you're serious about studying astrology.
9:15
SPEAKER_00: They may or may not become important to you and your astrology practice.
9:20
SPEAKER_00: Some people see them as insignificant, but some people think they matter.
9:25
SPEAKER_00: And if they matter to you, then they matter.
9:27
SPEAKER_00: I am very much about encouraging people to use their instincts about what feels
9:33
SPEAKER_00: right and significant to them.
9:36
SPEAKER_00: As with all things in astrology, you get to decide whether this is something you find useful.
9:43
SPEAKER_00: So I would say play around with these,
9:46
SPEAKER_00: play around with the semi-sextiles and the quincunxes,
9:49
SPEAKER_00: and see if you think they impact your life.
9:52
SPEAKER_00: And where I think they could be useful is in those moments when you are looking to
9:59
SPEAKER_00: confirm some information that you saw somewhere else,
10:04
SPEAKER_00: but you want to see how many different places it might show up.
10:06
SPEAKER_00: You can certainly use them for that.
10:10
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so let's talk about semisextiles and quincunxes briefly.
10:14
SPEAKER_00: Those are the only minor aspects I'm going to address right now.
10:19
SPEAKER_00: There are several others, but they're not commonly talked about or used that much.
10:24
SPEAKER_00: So I think that they'd really just be more of a distraction at this point than anything else.
10:29
SPEAKER_00: But the semisextiles and quincunxes do come up a bit more.
10:34
SPEAKER_00: and particularly the quincunxes,
10:36
SPEAKER_00: which will also be something you'll want to know about when we start talking about
10:40
SPEAKER_00: aspect patterns soon,
10:42
SPEAKER_00: because then we're going to talk about yods,
10:45
SPEAKER_00: among other things,
10:46
SPEAKER_00: and yods are an aspect pattern that involves quincunxes.
10:50
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so semisextiles.
10:53
SPEAKER_00: A semisextile occurs when two planets are 30 degrees or one whole sign apart.
11:01
SPEAKER_00: So if you were to have Mercury at 17 degrees Leo and Mars at 17 degrees Virgo,
11:08
SPEAKER_00: which is exactly one sign over,
11:11
SPEAKER_00: that is a semisextile.
11:13
SPEAKER_00: Or really just...
11:15
SPEAKER_00: one half of a full sextile because a sextile is two signs apart, if you think back to our prior episode.
11:22
SPEAKER_00: Semi-sextiles are pretty common,
11:25
SPEAKER_00: and that's because we typically will always,
11:28
SPEAKER_00: at any given time,
11:30
SPEAKER_00: have a cluster of planets that are close together in the sky.
11:34
SPEAKER_00: Mercury and Venus, for example, never get that far away from the Sun.
11:39
SPEAKER_00: Mercury never gets more than one sign away from the Sun in either direction, for example.
11:44
SPEAKER_00: And Venus never gets more than two signs away from the Sun.
11:48
SPEAKER_00: So it's fairly common to have semisextiles between the Sun and Mercury,
11:54
SPEAKER_00: or the Sun and Venus,
11:55
SPEAKER_00: or Mercury and Venus.
11:58
SPEAKER_00: And the Moon also,
12:00
SPEAKER_00: because the Moon moves so fast,
12:02
SPEAKER_00: it passes over every single planet and hits every single sign once every month.
12:08
SPEAKER_00: So the Moon is often in semisextile with other planets.
12:13
SPEAKER_00: So they're not rare.
12:14
SPEAKER_00: What's interesting about them is that when you have two planets in neighboring
12:19
SPEAKER_00: signs or one sign apart,
12:22
SPEAKER_00: they are always going to be in both different modalities.
12:27
SPEAKER_00: So cardinal signs versus fixed signs versus mutable signs.
12:31
SPEAKER_00: And they're going to be in different and also incompatible elements.
12:37
SPEAKER_00: When we're talking about elements,
12:39
SPEAKER_00: we think of fire signs and air signs as being compatible,
12:44
SPEAKER_00: and we think of earth signs and water signs as being compatible.
12:48
SPEAKER_00: But with semisextiles,
12:50
SPEAKER_00: the modes and the elements are not only going to be different,
12:54
SPEAKER_00: they're going to be considered incompatible.
12:57
SPEAKER_00: So in the Mercury-Mars example I just talked about, you have Mercury in a fixed fire sign,
13:05
SPEAKER_00: and Mars in a mutable Earth sign.
13:08
SPEAKER_00: Fixed signs are very different from mutable signs.
13:11
SPEAKER_00: Fixed signs don't really like change.
13:13
SPEAKER_00: They're more on the stubborn side or even close-minded at times, notoriously.
13:18
SPEAKER_00: And mutable signs are always looking for innovative new ways to do things.
13:26
SPEAKER_00: It's different.
13:27
SPEAKER_00: Similarly, fire signs are not considered all that compatible with Earth signs.
13:33
SPEAKER_00: Air signs, those are easier for them to work with.
13:37
SPEAKER_00: Earth signs, water signs, not quite as much.
13:40
SPEAKER_00: And what you get out of that are two planets that have the potential to mildly annoy one another.
13:48
SPEAKER_00: Now, this isn't going to be the worst or most contentious relationship in the world.
13:53
SPEAKER_00: It's not like the square where there's a lot of dynamic energy and tension that
13:58
SPEAKER_00: really needs to find a point of release somehow and ends up creating a lot of
14:02
SPEAKER_00: ambition or action in a person's life.
14:06
SPEAKER_00: And it's not like the opposition where there's this continual push-pull dynamic creating frustration.
14:14
SPEAKER_00: It's not that either.
14:15
SPEAKER_00: This is more like knowing a person who is just mildly annoying to you sometimes
14:23
SPEAKER_00: because they're just a little different than you is all.
14:26
SPEAKER_00: But they're okay.
14:27
SPEAKER_00: You don't have that much of a problem with them or anything.
14:30
SPEAKER_00: You just don't particularly gel with one another either.
14:34
SPEAKER_00: So going back to my example of Mercury and Leo, semi-sextiling Mars and Virgo, you're
14:41
SPEAKER_00: You could have an intellect or train of thought that is very Leo-like with big
14:48
SPEAKER_00: flamboyant ideas or grandiose thoughts about what you want to do in life or how to
14:55
SPEAKER_00: communicate with other people.
14:56
SPEAKER_00: But it could be difficult to execute this because Mars in Virgo is not a thrill
15:02
SPEAKER_00: seeker or an attention seeker.
15:05
SPEAKER_00: This Mars is a bit more cautious because of its need to do things perfectly.
15:09
SPEAKER_00: It's not going to act as quickly because it wants to be diligent and take care of all the details.
15:17
SPEAKER_00: It may be very service-oriented and prefer to work behind the scenes, which does not line up
15:23
SPEAKER_00: with the more flamboyant nature of Leo.
15:27
SPEAKER_00: So Mercury and Leo, or all this grandiose thinking, is going to be reined in by Mars in Virgo.
15:36
SPEAKER_00: And if it wants to get its way, it's going to have to address Mars's concerns and meet it halfway.
15:43
SPEAKER_00: So there's a little bit of an inner negotiation taking place in this person's psyche.
15:50
SPEAKER_00: And that can be a good thing because this way there's an opportunity to strike a
15:56
SPEAKER_00: balance between the loftier desires of Mercury and Leo and the practical approach
16:02
SPEAKER_00: of Mars and Virgo.
16:04
SPEAKER_00: And maybe these two characters will be able to accomplish more together than they
16:10
SPEAKER_00: would otherwise if they can manage to work together and extract the best sides of
16:16
SPEAKER_00: both of them.
16:17
SPEAKER_00: Now, quincunxes are something else.
16:20
SPEAKER_00: Quincunxes can also be called inconjunct.
16:23
SPEAKER_00: So if you hear that term, just know that they're the same thing as quincunxes.
16:28
SPEAKER_00: And two planets are considered inconjunct when they are about 150 degrees or five signs apart.
16:38
SPEAKER_00: So it's getting close to an opposition, which is six signs apart, but it's not quite there.
16:45
SPEAKER_00: Like the sextile and other minor aspects,
16:48
SPEAKER_00: this aspect doesn't show up by default in most online birth chart calculators.
16:54
SPEAKER_00: I probably should have said that before.
16:57
SPEAKER_00: In most cases, you'll have to find the extended settings and specifically ask for that.
17:03
SPEAKER_00: I know in astroseek.com,
17:06
SPEAKER_00: you can pull up your birth chart,
17:08
SPEAKER_00: and then right below the chart,
17:10
SPEAKER_00: you can click on the
17:12
SPEAKER_00: piece that says Extended Settings, House Systems, Aspects, Orbs.
17:17
SPEAKER_00: You'll click on that.
17:18
SPEAKER_00: And then in the third column that pops up, you'll see that the name of the column is Minor Aspects.
17:25
SPEAKER_00: And you can check the box for quincunxes or any of the other minor aspects.
17:31
SPEAKER_00: If you have a quincunx in your chart, it will then show up as a long green line.
17:37
SPEAKER_00: But not everyone is going to have a quincunx in their chart.
17:41
SPEAKER_00: Lots of people won't have one.
17:43
SPEAKER_00: Some people may have more than one.
17:46
SPEAKER_00: Semisextiles, by the way, will show up as the shorter green lines.
17:50
SPEAKER_00: Now,
17:51
SPEAKER_00: if you see a quincunx in your chart,
17:53
SPEAKER_00: it's similar to a semisextile in that planets involved are also going to be in
18:00
SPEAKER_00: different incompatible modalities and elements.
18:04
SPEAKER_00: They're just like the semisextiles in that respect.
18:07
SPEAKER_00: So again, these planets will have different ways of approaching life.
18:12
SPEAKER_00: If you think about the term inconjunct that we use for this aspect and what that
18:17
SPEAKER_00: means logically for a second,
18:20
SPEAKER_00: If planets being conjunct means that there's a blending of energies,
18:24
SPEAKER_00: a fusing of energies,
18:26
SPEAKER_00: then inconjunct has the exact opposite meaning.
18:30
SPEAKER_00: Inconjunction is two energies that are,
18:34
SPEAKER_00: for better or worse,
18:35
SPEAKER_00: distinctly separate and perhaps irreconcilable.
18:39
SPEAKER_00: At least that's the feeling that people are likely to get.
18:42
SPEAKER_00: You can't blend them.
18:44
SPEAKER_00: And so they end up creating discomfort and there's this awkwardness between these two planets.
18:52
SPEAKER_00: Again, it's not like the hard aspects like squares where there's open conflict.
18:56
SPEAKER_00: It's just more that they feel uncomfortable around each other.
19:00
SPEAKER_00: They can't find a way to talk to one another.
19:02
SPEAKER_00: It's too awkward.
19:03
SPEAKER_00: And so they aren't really communicating with each other.
19:07
SPEAKER_00: It's like information gets tripped up and wires get crossed.
19:11
SPEAKER_00: There's a disconnect.
19:13
SPEAKER_00: So if Mars and Venus were in conjunct,
19:16
SPEAKER_00: for example,
19:18
SPEAKER_00: there could be a disconnect between what you want,
19:21
SPEAKER_00: Venus,
19:22
SPEAKER_00: and the way you go about getting what you want,
19:25
SPEAKER_00: Mars.
19:26
SPEAKER_00: They're not lining up or working well together.
19:30
SPEAKER_00: Or maybe you have your sun in Gemini,
19:34
SPEAKER_00: which by sign should indicate a tendency to be more lighthearted,
19:40
SPEAKER_00: more social,
19:41
SPEAKER_00: you know,
19:42
SPEAKER_00: moving from one thing to the next thing all the time,
19:46
SPEAKER_00: being really curious,
19:47
SPEAKER_00: but also just looking at things from a more surface level because your curiosity
19:52
SPEAKER_00: keeps you hopping from one thing to the next all the time.
19:56
SPEAKER_00: But on the other hand, your moon could be in Scorpio, like my moon is.
20:03
SPEAKER_00: And that seems to be the opposite of all those things.
20:06
SPEAKER_00: Scorpio is not lighthearted.
20:09
SPEAKER_00: It is anything but that.
20:11
SPEAKER_00: It feels things intensely and it has a piercing level of focus and depth to it.
20:18
SPEAKER_00: It does not hop from one thing to the next thing and stay on the surface.
20:23
SPEAKER_00: Scorpio digs deep and mines for anything and everything it can find down in those depths.
20:30
SPEAKER_00: And so when it learns something,
20:32
SPEAKER_00: it's going to stick around and dig up everything it needs and wants to know.
20:38
SPEAKER_00: So this is the sun and the moon, both representations or different parts of your identity, right?
20:45
SPEAKER_00: But they're in totally different spots with really different intentions and
20:50
SPEAKER_00: different ways of operating,
20:51
SPEAKER_00: right?
20:52
SPEAKER_00: And then the question becomes, if these are both parts of your identity, which of these things are you?
21:00
SPEAKER_00: Are you the light, curious, happy-go-lucky, mutable air sign of your Gemini sun?
21:06
SPEAKER_00: Or are you the deep and soulful fixed water sign of Scorpio?
21:12
SPEAKER_00: Which one gets their way?
21:15
SPEAKER_00: And the answer is both.
21:16
SPEAKER_00: It has to be both.
21:18
SPEAKER_00: The answer is that life is complicated.
21:21
SPEAKER_00: People are complicated.
21:23
SPEAKER_00: Nothing is always exactly what it seems.
21:26
SPEAKER_00: And people can be many different things all at once.
21:30
SPEAKER_00: More than one thing can actually be true, even when those things seem to contradict each other.
21:37
SPEAKER_00: And life becomes richer and more mysterious when we can come to terms with that.
21:44
SPEAKER_00: Now,
21:44
SPEAKER_00: it might not always be easy to reconcile these two different parts of yourself,
21:50
SPEAKER_00: but there are some constructive ways that you can handle it.
21:56
SPEAKER_00: One is that this would give you a chance to practice radical self-acceptance.
22:02
SPEAKER_00: Loving yourself, not despite, but because of all of the different beautiful facets of yourself.
22:09
SPEAKER_00: Another way is humor.
22:11
SPEAKER_00: Life is complicated and we contradict ourselves sometimes.
22:15
SPEAKER_00: And some parts of our personalities can get in the way of other parts.
22:19
SPEAKER_00: And isn't that hilarious, right?
22:21
SPEAKER_00: Like it's actually quite funny.
22:23
SPEAKER_00: And you can bring some levity to it.
22:25
SPEAKER_00: This is an extension of radical self-acceptance.
22:29
SPEAKER_00: Yet another way is through creativity.
22:33
SPEAKER_00: Much like any exercise in conflict resolution,
22:37
SPEAKER_00: like say a conflict resolution between two people,
22:41
SPEAKER_00: sometimes you have to look at your life creatively and see if you can find new and
22:47
SPEAKER_00: different ways to organize your life and exist.
22:52
SPEAKER_00: So it's possible that innovation can be one of the big lessons you wanted to take
22:58
SPEAKER_00: on with this chart of yours.
23:00
SPEAKER_00: And you can really lean in to that creative energy if you choose to.
23:04
SPEAKER_00: And finally, there's compassion.
23:07
SPEAKER_00: When we have parts of ourselves that feel awkward to us or don't feel particularly
23:12
SPEAKER_00: easy to deal with,
23:14
SPEAKER_00: we then have the opportunity to become compassionate towards other people and also
23:20
SPEAKER_00: very wise.
23:22
SPEAKER_00: Because you can see the world for the complicated, intricate place that it is.
23:28
SPEAKER_00: And you develop all of these different interesting perspectives that not everyone has.
23:33
SPEAKER_00: And that has the potential to help you grow faster if you stay aware of it.
23:39
SPEAKER_00: And self-awareness is always, always the key with everything.
23:44
SPEAKER_00: That's why we want to get to know our charts in the first place,
23:47
SPEAKER_00: because if we understand them,
23:49
SPEAKER_00: we can choose to use them well.
23:52
SPEAKER_00: Okay, that wraps up today's discussion on the minor aspects.
