Hi
what you have written is what I used to believe then started having doubts.
I cannot see now the point of endless lives leading up to a point of total destruction of the earth. I actually think (just my opinion, not preaching) that we are de-volving as a human race, not evolving because the world is heading towards its destruction caused by mans inability to grow spiritually.
If we look at our world, isint it clear to see we are in the end times with the pain and misery at every corner?
Can I ask you what your opinion and thoughts are on the end of the world as know it? and where does God figure in this?
many thanks
Destruction is just another word for change and transformation. In the end, we know that things change, but nothing is ever lost. Even if the human race is de-volving as you say, consciousness and spirit will just manifest another physical form and reality, or another playground if you will. Though I don't think that we are in the end times. I believe the Aquarian Age signals a new world if you will and individuality and humanity will find their way forward.
In regards to Astrology, the natal chart is the energy imprint at birth onto the individual's consciousness and closely outlines the roadmap if you will as to the energy expression of all vehicles of consciousness, starting at the physical, emotional, mental of the lower bridge towards higher mind, intuition and spiritual will (terms taken from esoteric astrology) though the philosophical context is my own.
I especially enjoy reading the Transcendent Potential for the aspects from Gargatholil's site:

The aspects are explained philosophically and demonstrate how the new energy expression differs when the lower vehicles are consciously spiritualized and expressed through the higher vehicles.
Lastly, having been self-trained in Astrology, it's allowed me to progress at my own time and understanding of the concepts without being brainwashed into believing anything in particular. I'm now looking at Harmonics and believe I have a new interpretation which is partly recognized by Astrologers but has never been fully synthesized. Each Harmonic number is not just an aspect determination where conjunctions allow the aspects to be seen more clearly. I believe that as soul consciousness emerges into the natal chart and all aspects are transcended, Harmonic charts demonstrate the fully utilized and consciously focused conjunction at its soul expression.
Thus, it is no longer sufficient to say I have so many Squares and Oppositions and therefore my life will always be a challenge. Oppositions functioning on the 2nd Harmonic require balance, harmony, cooperation (as expressed by 2 numerology) and once applied and transcended, the oppositions will express as an actual conjunction. Same with Squares, functioning on the 4th Harmonic requiring patience, self-discipline, hard work and stabilizing presence, also can be transcended into conjunctions. I'm still wondering whether numerology life path, destiny numbers etc play a role in the Harmonic overlays and whether individuals are more sensitive to those Harmonic aspects as opposed to others - so a person with a life path number of 2 would feel the 2nd Harmonic overlay chart greater than all the others and have to strive harder to integrate those oppositions into conjunctions. It may explain why there's so many differing opinions of why individuals with the same aspects may feel them differently.
The idea of aspects transcending into conjunctions stems from my own chart where I no longer seem to relate to square/opposition energy and perceive them as conjunctions. My Mercury opp. Uranus aspect no longer challenges or confuses my mental vehicles and I am able to accept both left brain, right brain logical thinking along with intuitive insights from out of the blue. Of course this could also be one of those concepts that is just out there and/or is ahead of its time. Might as well post it on the forum and see where it goes.
I'll probably start another thread specifically about Harmonics and Soul Expressions but that was just an overview summary. Any thoughts?
