So you understand, here’s a brief overview of how squares, oppositions, and malefic placements in a birth chart can manifest challenges and opportunities for growth

Squares: Squares occur when two planets are approximately 90 degrees apart. They represent internal conflicts, obstacles, and challenges that require effort and resolution. For example, a square between Mars and Saturn could indicate struggles with assertiveness and discipline, leading to frustration and delays in achieving goals. However, navigating these challenges can ultimately result in increased resilience, determination, and self-discipline.

Oppositions: Oppositions occur when two planets are approximately 180 degrees apart. They symbolize external conflicts, polarities, and tensions between different areas of life or personality traits. For instance, an opposition between Venus and Pluto could signify power struggles in relationships, issues with trust and intimacy, or a need to balance love and control. By confronting these tensions and finding a middle ground, individuals can experience profound personal growth and transformation.

Malefic Placements: Malefic planets include Mars, Saturn, and Pluto are often associated with challenges, hardship, and adversity in astrology. They respectively represent Force, Structure, and Transformation. When these planets are prominently placed in the birth chart or form hard aspects with other planets, they can indicate areas of struggle, pain, and difficulty. However, Force is Power, Obstacles are what is needed for Persistence and Resillience, and every ending or death is also a new beginning and birth. These malefics they also offer opportunities for resilience, strength, and profound inner growth. For example, Saturn’s presence in challenging aspects may signify periods of hardship, limitation, or self-doubt, but it can also engender discipline, maturity, and wisdom through perseverance and endurance.

In my astrology readings focusing on hard aspects and malefic placements, I analyze how you can harness the energy of these challenging configurations to overcome obstacles, cultivate resilience, and tap into inner strength and potential for transformation.

By acknowledging and working with these difficult energies, you can navigate life’s challenges, including past traumas, and consciouly trasmute these energy with greater awareness and insight leading to your greatest empowerment.

As part of the process, it is extremely important to love and value every aspect of your personality, including what may cause you difficulties with other people or create problems. Because more often than not, these features are the path to your highest destiny and what makes you unique. It is important to love and value yourself, resisting external pressure to be someone else merely to please others, as that is the surest way to lose yourself. The goal is to do the opposite: to love yourself and refine the facets of your personality toward the highest, most balanced, healthiest, successful, and fulfilled version of yourself.

Every fear is courage. Every weakness is the perfect terrain for strenght. And every situation that makes us feel powerless is exactly what we need to empower us. No matter where and how you are, you are beautiful , worthy, and lovable just as your are. It’s the nradical acceptance and self love that creates the impulse to create life and relationships we deserve.

In my readings I look at all the areas of challenge. However I do not stop there, beyond a full inventory and bringing more awareness to these challenges and negative tendencies that you have faced, or will face I provide directions and a guideline on specific strategies, training, and lifestyle changes to address each one of these issues.

I invite you to book my reading, and be proactive  about facing these challenges. I believe 100% that our reality, and what is outside, is a reflection of our inner life, and the qualities that allows us to create a life worth living.  These readings and any form of self knowledge practce is the first step toward change comes from the inside, by becoming the person who wants to see, know, and is able to fix problems,  to reveal lthe hidden treasures of the life meant for you.
