Avesalom Podvodny. Aspects

Venus Tridecile: The life of the social environment rarely has an anthropomorphic character. This aspect gives a desire to participate in social moments arising in the spheres of the Planet. These moments represent for the individual an opportunity for self-expression; they feel in them the breath of life that attracts and calls them to apply their efforts. In the Planet’s spheres, the person senses the life of beauty; they are drawn to aesthetic ideals, and fate will give them the opportunity to enliven the Planet’s areas of influence through art, especially with a strong Venus; at a lower level, all this occurs under significant influence of social stereotypes, which threatens the life into which the person steps with rapid destruction. If the individual encounters love in the Planet’s spheres, they may, through proper behavior, greatly enliven it and gain opportunities for deeply human self-expression, although this combines poorly with sexuality understood in a primitive way. For example, the Venus-Mars tridecile potentially gives strong and humane expressions in love, but attempts by the individual or their partner to force passionate (with animal overtones) desires will end in complete failure, even though the beginning of love may promise very energetic and vivid continuation. Neptune Tridecile: To understand means to incorporate into one’s karmic program. The well-integrated aspect provides the possibility of deep involvement of the individual in the issues of life and its development within the Planet’s spheres, when cosmic love for this life awakens and manifests within them, and in expressing this love, they find their human origin. Defeat of Neptune may produce a strong (often irrational) sense of guilt before life processes in the Planet’s sphere and a pathological attitude toward corresponding issues, where the individual will perceive them with significant distortions, sympathizing inappropriately and helping where it is not needed. Harmonious Neptune initially gives pure ecstasy from the mere idea of participating in the life of the Planet’s spheres of influence, and the person may fairly successfully, yet superficially, become involved (if they wish and circumstances do not hinder them), but the main issues and sharp developmental angles will be smoothed over or camouflaged by harmonious Neptune. This aspect has weak protective action, but its main manifestations are the possibility of sincere and loving assistance developing within the Planet’s life spheres, in which the individual may find their indirect happiness.
