[QUOTE="Osamenor, post: 1130963, member: 46370"] Indeed, it is. In the West, astrology fell out of favor for quite some time. The theosophists revived it in the late nineteenth/early twentieth century, but by then, Western culture had undergone a shift from deterministic and very community oriented to an individualist "you make your own luck" worldview. Went hand in hand with the rise of capitalism. So the new version of Western astrology, now known as modern astrology, was naturally infused with that worldview. Here's an idea that kind of blends the two: your out of sect benefic, your in sect malefic, and any planet you have in fall or detriment, represent problems you have to solve. Either way, Venus is your out of sect benefic, since you have a day chart (Jupiter and Saturn are in sect for day charts, Venus and Mars for night charts). It's a more optimistic perspective than saying, "well, you're just ******* then," because problems you have to solve are problems you [I]can[/I] solve. Maybe you spend your whole life working on them, maybe they become your life's work, but it's not just "welp, can't do anything about that." [/QUOTE]
