I can’t stand the defeatist attitude that a lot of people have toward astrology. “I have this placement so I guess I’m going to die early. And this placement says I’ll never find love. This one apparently means I won’t be happy in life.”
That’s exactly what the natal chart exists to prevent. You’re completely missing the point. The possibility of negative traits or events resulting from natal arrangements is a symptom of a deeper psychological structure which the chart is intended to help you discover. Accepting a surface problem instead of analyzing yourself to find its source is the most self-destructive thing you can do; that’s when you become a victim of something you have power over.
Cultivate self-awareness, and then cultivate self-control. That’s the key to escaping or surviving intrapersonal difficulty, and it’s the purpose of natal astrology – please don’t turn it into a way to sabotage yourself.
