Yes! Everything you said is true, I'm glad also you resonate. ^^
I think we gotta have a morr flexible.. rounded perspective. Many times when I go on birds eye view I see nothing goes without the other. The collective consciousness does have the power to create, however it needs shaping, clearing, detoxing and strengthening.
It's egoic to think we are the most intelligent, however we get what we need. And we need thr challenging apsects and planets.
I don't also think we chose with which planets and positions to get born. I believe they act as filter and show our soul growth prior to coming to Earth. If you are a fresh new born soul you will definitely have mostly "easy" positions and predominant sextiles and trines.
A bit older souls get born with a bit more "difficult " aspects. That is because the soul itself CAN take the challenge and overcome it. No challenge is given to us that we cannot overcome. It means someone somewhete has faith in us and that's mostly our higher selves or us.
Also I don't think Pluto, Uranus and Neptune should be personal sign planets. I think they should be collective planets. Yes, maybe Scorpio, Pisces and Aqua have easier time connecting to the higher realms, but everyone can really.
I think astrology takes a very toxic turn when it tries to interpret, especially relational astrology. You can simply tell someone to give up on another persom cos their synastry and composite are off. Who are we to decide whats off. When someone attracted someone in their life its for a reason. And one can see the reason with astrology.
Not to mentiom the phenomenon called twin flames, which people with lower level of consciousness cannot recognize im astrology so they would say "Run". It's always best to listen to our own intuition. Many astrologers don't have the needed wisdom to work with just anybody, so its important to find one that resomates with us as well.
For example so far no horary Ive tried has resonated or worked as said. Beats me.
