Know the Playing Field: Part 2

Even though this is very basic information about the core of the Chart; before discovering unknown terrain, an explorer always maps out the basic “area” that will navigated, and later checks his compass for direction.

For the second part of this discussion, we will cut our “Field” into two more sections, this time the left and right halves of the basic Chart circle.

The left side (purple) of the circle represents one’s Individual Self, one’s personal treasures. Planets, points and Stars in this area are part of the person’s Selfhood, and hopefully the person knows of their dowry.

But, as we mentioned our explorer above, this “bounty” may be locked away in treasure chests deep down in the hull of his ship or just like a fish which isn’t aware of the water surrounding it; a person may be unaware of these personal influences. Part of your job as an astrologer is to help your client discern the elements of this personal space and maybe even help them discover their hidden treasures.

The right side (yellow) of the circle represents the influences beyond the envelope of one’s Self. It is everything that our 3D Reality considers, “others” and influences emanating from the “outside” (or so it appears to us this way for the fun of this Earth experience). This area is notorious for our overly used modern phrase of “projection.”

These influences even though contained in our Circle, are “roles” that are designated to other players in our Screenplay of Life. The lowdown is that other people carry these influences into our lives for us, so we see them played out before our eyes. This area contains all that we search outside ourselves for, to “complete us.”
