Aspects Class: the 150 degree inconjunction

About the uh, in conjunction, which is the uh, one of the major steps that we take before the opposition. The opposition is really that point of culmination that uh, we're gonna get to here, just uh, probably next week. So the in conjunction is an aspect of 150 degrees. And if you really look at the in conjunction, it can occur on one side of an opposition or another. So there's a [Music] a maturation process that we go through when we are talking about an inconjunction that allows us to fully flower, to become fully awake, to fully open, to fully mature at the opposition, because that's uh, the nature of a flower, isn't it? It's the maturing part of the plant that so often makes the seeds and disperses those seeds to begin the next cycle.

So with the in conjunction, we are dealing with two functions, two behaviors, two motivations. That's what the planets represent. We're dealing with two motivations, behaviors, functions, ways of being that are not relating to each other. They are disconnected. So we have a a disconnection within the personality. There's an inability to understand what the left hand for the right hand. Start over. An inability for the right hand to understand what the left hand is doing. So we act in very alternate ways. And these alternate ways can have a way of erasing the progress that we made on the one end. So these are very much like building a sand castle, these aspects, where we construct something, but then we have this motion that comes in, this ocean that comes in and can erase that. So we can feel very much like we're not getting anywhere. We are not moving forward. We're not progressing. There isn't the kind of payoff that we're looking for with planets that are in in conjunct aspect to each other.

So we have to look at the specific behaviors that are implied by those planets that are in a 150 degree angle. We talked about the semi-sextile. This is a much, much more loud uh version of what goes on there. Um, but I'm sure that question will come up. Is it similar to the semi-sextile? It's much more of what I want to say, it's very acute when it's an in conjunction. So it's like the granddaddy semi-sextile. So having these planets in a position where we have one kind of action that is really unrelated to the other kind of action can make it very difficult to understand what is going on within ourselves. There's a great mystery that uh, in conjunctions imply, something unseen within ourselves that we have to solve. And [Music] once we do, it brings maturation. It brings the ability to squarely face, because we pass the square, it brings the ability to squarely face ourselves as we are. That's the opposition. So we are between these two processes here of uh, becoming resolute and having this foundation on which to see the, I want to say, the the best or worst parts of ourselves. So this developmental process continues as we go through these aspects series, this aspect series.

So the in conjunction, we have to identify what behavior within ourselves is not able. Say that's not the right choice of words. What behavior within ourselves is keeping us, holding us back from finding satisfaction, from finding the solution to a problem? And that could be involved in both planets, and that could be involved in one planet. It's more difficult if both of the planets have a difficulty. And I would say if we've not reached an evolutionary point of positivity, if we haven't progressed correctly, is the short of it. Then if that's showing up on both planets, we have something that's more difficult to deal with. That's very often the case within conjunctions, that we have two planets that are challenged, um, two factors that are challenged. And as we go along and we solve our issues, we may solve the issues related to one of those planets before we solve the inconjunction itself. We may mature or take that evolutionary step. And that evolutionary step is very much related to coming out, our choosing, choosing and then coming out on the positive side of what that function, what that planet is. Because all planets have a positive potential and they have a negative potential. And we have to really start using that planet, that archetype within ourselves, in a functional way, in a, the positive way.

So, um, coming to make some extreme adjustments makes it possible for us to move ahead. Makes it possible for us to find solution to the problem. So within conjunctions, we hear the phrase all the time, missed steps or skipped steps or it's an aspect of an un, un-taken step. That isn't terribly descriptive. I don't think that's enough. That it's just kind of some words that don't give us a a deeper understanding. There. And that step is about maturation. It's about being able to meet things and ourselves and life squarely as it is. So, um, the adjustments come in how we have neglected to grow. How we have neglected to mature in relation to one of those or both of those planets. And when we're able to do that, when we're really able to, um, to grow forward, then those planets that are in conjunct to each other have a communication. It's a communication that we make a terrific conscious effort to forge. So we have an ability to understand after we solve the inconjunction. We have the ability to understand how the one thing is affecting the other. How the one thing is related to the other. So, um, there's a major gap in our understanding of our self that is solved. Where we finally get that, oh, okay, this is related to that. And so I had better really be careful about how I behave on this end of things because I know it's going to result in relationship to that. And then I'm really going to be in trouble.

So, um, let's use some very watered-down examples. Um, this is extremely simplified example here. Let's say that somebody loves to gamble. They just get such a thrill out of it. And they'll take their money and they'll gamble. They will gamble and they don't realize how much of it they're losing. It just, it doesn't register how much of it, of how much of their money they're walking out of the casino with, how little less money they're walking out with. And then they can't make their bills every month. They just don't seem to have enough to pay everything and to meet all the responsibilities that they have. And this is something that could persist for years. They could gamble quite a bit, not realizing how much they're actually losing. And then never be able to completely meet those bills. And we could be digging ourselves in deeper and deeper. And then the in conjunction, um, because let's say we have, well, let's say we have an inconjunction between the sun and Jupiter. That could be at the root of this. Um, you'd have to be really realizing how our risky behavior, how our thirst for adrenaline and for living on the edge, uh, is related to the lack of abundance that we are ultimately wanting to experience when it comes to Jupiter. And that lack of feeling, uh, you know, really full, because we can always feel like we don't have enough. But when we really solve that issue of, Ash, can you mute for me? Thanks. I know that's so funny. He's even a professional Zoom person. It happens to the best of us. Um, so there's a, there's a way that we have to understand that, oh, okay, this thing I'm doing over here, the way that I am over here, really affects how I am over here and what is happening over here. Oh, oh, oh. Because there's just this disconnect. So once we understand that, we can make some progress. So it'd have to mature in the area of say, a sun in conjunctive Jupiter, that's resulting in a gambling problem. Um, we'd have to really understand how our need for adrenaline is just not helping us, or our behavior, our behavior when it comes to our need for adrenaline, that's more clear. How that behavior is resulting in a poverty when really we are initiating that hedonistic, uh, sun behavior because we're seeking abundance, we're seeking more. But it's not resulting in that. We're just getting poorer. So we have to really bring that under control. We have to really understand, okay, well, I have a behavior here that is not resulting in what I, on the surface, think it's going to result in. And I have to make a major, major change here. So I have to rein in the sun so the Jupiter can't expand. And we have to rein in the Jupiter because that's a part of us that can say more, more, and more inappropriately. And really understand how we are working against ourselves because we have not developed the capacity for [Music] self-regulation or for self-control or to control our behavior related to that assertion of adrenaline that we have. So often we'll have to develop ways, if we have that type of problem, develop ways to feel that impulse and then be able to sit with it, to not act on it, to to think it through and to observe it and and to be able to just be in the moment without acting on that impulse until that impulse passes. So there's, uh, a way that we could finally move forward and get the kind of comfortable life that we're really after, but not, not continue stepping on our own toes. Do you have any questions about that so far? You guys are so quiet. I thought everybody had frozen there for a minute.

So another thing related to in conjunctions is that they can present us with what we call maladies, issues related to health. Because the two behaviors in relationship to each other, before we understand how they aren't connecting, uh, how the one is, before we, we understand the connection, the results that happen, uh, because we behave on the one end in a way that can have a negative, a consequence on the other planet. And see, we may not see that. We may not understand the connection until we really can develop that capacity to, uh, to behave differently, to grow beyond that more infantile behavior. Then we can have our health be something that is not affected, not affected negatively by our actions on the one end. Um, so a simplified explanation or example for that would be, if we really want to have a healthy lifestyle, we have that vision of ourselves, this idea of ourself of, uh, you know, being very active and eating right and and, you know, doing the right things, making the right choices when it comes to health, as far as we know, as we're always getting new information, doing our best. But then we have this other behavior where we will, uh, say, well, here's a really good example, actually, a practical example of people who are very health conscious, uh, you know, ride their bikes, eat well, do all that stuff. Health is on their mind. But yet they smoke. Disconnect that we see here. Um, so we have to understand how, even though we're doing everything right over here, if we're smoking, that's going to have a negative effect on all these things that we're doing over here. I mean, the smoking may actually be more dangerous for us than all of these healthy things are good for us. So I have to understand how the one thing, you know, how the smoking could be having a negative effect on our health life, even though that that doesn't make sense to us because we live so healthy. So, um, in conjunctions can actually often be obvious to other people, much more obvious to other people, you know, where the disconnect is or what it is that you're not, you're not getting when it comes to having success in your life or solving a certain problem. And we can feel like we are just banging our heads against a brick wall, trying to give people information related to their conjunctions because they, they just may not understand it. Um, it doesn't compute. So something that we have to come to on our own. It's something that we really have to to personally [Music] going to say to personally discover about ourselves. It's a deep mystery that can lead to that eureka moment because that eureka moment leads to potentially more eureka moments because it puts us in a position where we can have with the capacity to have those oppositional experiences of extreme enlightenment or awakeness or really understanding, oh, is that what I look like? Okay, well, I'm going to internalize that and make some adjustments there and, you know, see if I can come up with a better result. So there's a, um, a deep adjustment that has to be made with an in conjunction. So we can have more, uh, stunning adjustments that we can make throughout our lives when we come to those times where we have the opportunity for extreme clarity. But often, if we don't take those leaps, if we don't grow where in conjunctions are concerned, we don't recognize those moments of extreme clarity that can come upon us because we won't have the capacity to allow that realization to really take hold of us. So we can be very blinded by n conjunctions. Let's see. I have a question here. Yes. I would say absolutely that, uh, planets, especially that are coming through signs, um, that they don't do well in, uh, planets that are naturally amnical to each other, have a, you know, a square relationship. We want to look at all those things when we are looking at aspects because we could have, um, yeah, inherently more difficult relationships between those planets. Yep. Which would require more on our part, more conscious effort. And that's what all of the difficult aspects are asking of us is a conscious effort. We're waking up. We're becoming aware of ourselves. The unity is not aware. We're not aware of the conjunction. Everything is one. Inner and outer are the same. We don't have a concept of separation or out and inner. It's, it's all blended. It's why conjunctions do not imply insight. Oppositions imply extreme insight because we have that capacity to understand me as a result of you, or you as a result of me. We understand that separation. And it's that separation that leads to consciousness. We can't think about. There's nothing to think about in the unity because it's all one blob. We have categories. We have differentials. We have, um, discernment that is created by the opposition. So we're learning to really recognize the unity in the opposition. And with the unity and the conjunction, we have to really, well, understand that we're not the only one. We're not the only one in the room, the only one in the universe. So they bring a natural behavior with them. [Music] And really understanding ourselves through those behaviors is how we become self-aware. Uh, Deborah, let's see. Uh, I've seen in synistry, it would just be like both would actually have to have a clear conversation about those two values that aren't lining up well. I think it's, um, about learning the balance that there's a, a give and take that can actually be extremely beneficial with oppositional planets. And if we're focusing on that, on how they're actually very balancing to each other, rather than how they're different from us, they are not us, then that opposition can actually be quite beneficial. But some planets don't lend themselves easily to learning that lesson that, um, it's that give and take that is actually very beneficial. It's the relationship between the two things that are different. It's actually very beneficial to me. Um, then we can actually have a very good oppositional relationship. Some people just, they just don't get there. They're just too focused. Especially if it's like, you know, oppositions between the ego planets, then we can really get into difficulties there. There can be a lot to learn through. But, um, yeah, we're learning to focus on the positive rather than the negative there. Um, Deborah had a question. Is it usually that the inner planet has to understand how it's working against itself? I, well, yeah, that would be what it was doing. Um, but outer planets, we often have to, if it's to an inner planet, we have to have to realize how we are working against society or, uh, coming to understand how we feel that society is working against us. When in fact, it may be us who's at the root of that, who feels that we ourselves are against society. So it's, uh, well, let's just use a, a Mars Uranus opposition as an example. We can have an idea that we are a rebel and that we, we don't fit in. We are, it's an aspect of extreme separation. So we can be working against the group, against the grain. And because that's our vision of ourself, and then what we get back is often a rebellious attitude towards others. Others don't want to work with us. They find us to be oppositional. They find us to be unmanageable. Um, they find us can be a know-it-all. And so that's what we think about the world. The world is a hostile place, full of know-it-alls. And when in fact, if we really examine what's going on, we may find that the way that we project ourselves is resulting in the behavior from others that we're seeing. It's, it's resulting in this, uh, oppositional force against us. So we have to look at the source. What's the source of things? And, uh, fall often into humility when it comes to admitting to ourselves that maybe what we thought about ourselves wasn't correct. And make some adjustments in how we know ourselves, how we pick ourselves up. Because we can still be, you know, uncooperative at appropriate times and get a very good effect because sometimes that's called for. We need the person who's not gonna pick up a gun when everybody else just says, oh, okay, yeah, that's what I'm being told to do. We need that person who's gonna go against the grain. And in some cases, those, you know, the natural action implied in difficult aspects can be very appropriate to the situation. But not usually. Usually we're applying an, it's an unexamined behavior to most situations. And that's why we're coming up short. So, uh, we are coming to better conclusions when we solve these difficult aspects. We are learning to move beyond what we feel is that, that brick wall that we just keep coming up against. And within conjunctions, we really have to reach down into ourselves and pull something up that is, uh, it's always been there. It's just like a very dormant, a very dormant ability. Any questions, uh, about any of that? Katie, some of the, um, with oppositions that you see, someone will have one planet in the opposition which isn't actually, they're not actually doing too badly with it. And so it's kind of easier overall to deal with. A lot of time, both of the planets involved are not being utilized that well. And I'm assuming that's just like, just the way people are. And like anyone who's not like that would be like a unicorn. But like, theoretically, if someone had two planets involved in opposition and they were very self-aware with both those planets, then might it be a lot easier? I guess. Yeah. Well, that's what we get to. Yeah. The opposition can become something that we aren't working against ourselves. That's usually when we come to that moment of self-realization. We realize that, oh, okay, the feedback I'm getting, what I'm seeing in the world, maybe that's a result of how I am and who I am and how I'm projecting myself. And because these are in oppositions or aspects of projection, and so we learn to project ourselves differently. We learn to have it be something that's of our own conscious making. And so we get something that has more of a con, we get more of a conscious, intentional feedback. So we don't feel that we are being run around or we are a victim or that it's outside, um, you know, people behave, circumstances and conditions that are limiting us or making us be what we are. We realize we have the power. We have a lot of power in how we think ourselves up and how we interpret things and the meanings that we give to things. And so it's a much more conscious life at that point. Does that, did I just get off on a tangent? Oh, no. I will. I kind of, um, god, so I got lost with it. Like, you, you're talking about the opposition because is it maybe like solving and in conjunction, it brings you pretty much the kind of this opposition? Yes. Yes. Well, yes, it gives you the capacity to have that oppositional awareness. It isn't the oppositional awareness in itself. It is the step that will lead to it. So if we're getting very close, this is what it is. When we solve the n conjunction, we're getting very, very close to really having that full understanding. That's interesting. Like the, um, is it kind of just with the in conjunction that that happens? Uh, or like, is there kind of this ability to like get more aware of the step once you complete the step you're on? You kind of become aware of the next step that you'd be in if you have that aspect? That if that makes sense? Um, yes. We develop an awareness when we solve any hard aspect. It's, it's like we master or solve a problem within ourselves. So it's an issue that just keeps arriving and we finally get out of that loop. We learn to have two behaviors, functions, ways that we think ourselves of, start working together in a way that's positive. And then that does give us the ability to grow in the next evolutionary direction. We mature at that point of ourselves. So our capacities do improve overall. Thank you. Any other questions, observations? Uh, let's see. Let me see if we had something more in chat. Uh, Deborah, I get 50/50 feedback about me in conjunction. I know that I should probably change what some people tell me that I am, right? Well, it may be that on the one hand, with the one planet, that planet is functioning quite clearly. It could be that both planets don't have an issue with a skipped or not, I don't say skipped step or are not a, you know, the maturation process. Um, sometimes we can, we can have that. We can, within conjunctions, that's why I need to talk to people when I'm reviewing birth charts. I don't do it just by sight because I don't know how people have used what they've been given. Any number of people have been given that birth chart on that same day at that same time. So where we grow up, conditioned circumstances, parents, influences, genetics, biology, all of this influences how we're going to use that particular chart. And there can be some people that are doing a bit better with the n conjunction because maybe they've already solved on the one hand, one particular function involved in it. And then, yes, we can get a about a 50/50 split where the other function may be out of view and we're still learning to, uh, to know ourselves. But we can, we're getting closer. And I see often that people will solve half the inconjunction before they solve the other because it can be very, very hard to have two functions, two immature functions, mature simultaneously within us. It can happen, but that's more rare. It's usually going to be that we're focusing more on one particularity than another. And we kind of go in order of priority. That's why we see people with the square between the sun and the moon, uh, the semi-square, the semi, the cisco quadrat, they tend to solve that pretty darn quick in their life, usually in their 20s or their early 30s, because it is a pressing problem. But we can have other aspects, other parts of aspects that are more lingering. And we may not, it's still a problem, but we address them in terms of priority and how those problems relate to our goals. If we have a way big problem over here, but it isn't keeping us from achieving a goal or major thing over here, we may not address it, even though it's affecting our health or affecting our relationships. If it's not affecting this, it may be something that we are very much compartmentalizing, which we can get into within conjunctions, seriously, a problem of compartmentalization. So we may be maturing on one end in one decade of our life, and then maturing on the other end in the other decade of our life. Certainly a very human thing. Any other questions? Yeah, I think I'm wondering, um, because the in conjunction seems like this huge step to this opposition, which is such a big insight. Is it kind of like with the closing semi-sex style? Is it comparable that amount of insight that's coming up for it? And then I imagine with the waxing semi-sex style, and that seems like it'd be almost nothing in comparison to like the waning. Yeah, we are dealing with different animals there. And we'll talk about that after we get past the end. Now, after the opposition, we're going to talk about some of those waning aspects, how they're different. And closing, that's a, yeah, that's a much more loaded kind of semi-sextile in that we are incorporating outside into the inside. We're really learning to have that distill upon us. In the opening, or the the waxing, uh, semi-sextile, it's more we are incorporating ourselves into the world. So us into. So let's look at it as a cake batter. And think of a visual here. Sometimes, sometimes food really works for me when it comes to explanations. Um, so if we have a cake mix and it's all mixed up, but it does not have the egg yet incorporated. When we look at the waxing semi-sextile, it's like the egg is at the bottom, and then we put the batter on top. So the individual is there, and we have the batter on top. And it's much easier to incorporate that egg into that batter, much, much easier. But if we have batter in the bowl already mixed up, but it does not have the egg, that's like the waning semi-sex style. Then we're putting the egg on top. And how do I maybe have this in reverse? Let me think. I haven't ever used this one before. Incorporating. Yeah, maybe this isn't the best aspect. I think I'm just going to confuse you guys. Um, ourselves into the all. I'm going to have to come up. The better visualization. I think I got it mixed up there where it would actually be the egg on top. Okay. I just have to come over the different one. It's just not working. Sometimes I don't get it right when it comes to my explanations. So there's a incorporation of all of us into me at the closing, uh, semi-sex style, the waning. And an incorporation of me into all of us at the waxing. Um, when we get to that aspect, I will spend more time thinking about a better way to visually explain that. And we'll spend more time on it because probably just muddied the waters there. It seems like a very abstract concept. Well, sure. That's because we're abstract. We're an abstract concept. Absolutely. And that realization of, oh, that's what I am. I'm an abstract concept. Is a major thing. That's like with a major, uh, points to understanding that, okay, well, I can experience the unity. I can go back to the unity. I can, I can be well aware of the unity. And, uh, well aware of the separation as well. And I don't have to live in one or the other because they are both a function of each other. So there is this wonderful, uh, consciousness that is there simultaneously with the unity. The two things. We understand separateness, but we understand that is not us. We understand the, you know, concepts and thoughts. And that's what, uh, brings the ability to see ourselves and others and to know ourselves. But that isn't what we inherently are. That is our human experience. So we understand the both sides. And in understanding both sides, we aren't partial to one or the other. So we solve this, the problems of duality. When we get back to the conjunction again, it will make more sense. So we're building on these concepts as we go along. We kind of just got ahead there. So it's a bit confusing. But it should be at this point because much like the in conjunction, we have some skipped steps that are going to help us to understand what all this means when we get to the opposition. And then back to the conjunction. I think I heard you once say that when you look at a chart, you stick in conjunctions, you kind of focus on, like you notice that first of all. I don't know if it was, you know, one of your more videos, but like, is it, is it one of them? Do you think that some of the major issues in a network chart tend to stem from that? Do you, do you see that as one reverse or major things? Or even though it's a minor aspect? It's not really a minor. No, it is not a minor aspect. I'm not sure why conjunctions have ever earned that reputation of being minor. They can be the majorist thing in our life when it comes to issues. But it's the way that they show up, I think, that has resulted in that reputation for being minor. It's, it's not the problems that they create, those are major. But the ways in which we act them out could be. It's more chronic rather than acute. Other hard aspects have a very acute result. So I always will go back to this again. I'm going to be very repetitive here. I like to use the example of the size of rocks in our shoes to explain these aspects. The in conjunction and the semi-sextile are like a smaller piece of rock. Where an opposition is a big jagged piece. A square is a big jagged piece. Cisco quadrat's a little bit smaller, but it's still jagged. We can't walk very well or for very long with those kinds of rocks in our shoes. We're gonna have to stop and expend some energy to get those out. And so we're likely to solve those harder aspects sooner. Uh, the in conjunction really depends on if we have other, uh, I'm sorry, the opposition. That can depend on, do we have other inconjunctions in the chart? Especially are they related to that opposition? Sometimes if they're not related, like if we don't have a Yod, if we don't have an inconjunction related to an opposition specifically, then we can have an aha moment in that area of life implied, but by that opposition. But many, many times when we look through the chart, we see that in some form or another, that opposition is related to that in conjunction. Not all the time, but it's quite a bit. It could be, you know, like one of the rulers of that houses of the houses that the opposition is landing in is involved in an in conjunction on the other side. If you look around, very often we're going to have the one function in some way related to the other. So we, we can have success in one area of life unrelated to another. But very often in the birth chart, things are intertwined. And so that's what we want to identify. So the in conjunction is like a piece of rock in your shoe that is uncomfortable, but it's not so uncomfortable that we have to stop ourselves and get it out. And so it may remain in there longer. And we can feel it. And it's like, sometimes it shifts to the front. And so we're like, oh, okay, it's gone. I don't have to deal with that. And then it comes back in the next step. So that hope of, well, maybe it won't happen next time, can keep us from solving it. So they're aspects that are chronic rather than acute. And we can solve them later in life than a lot of other aspects. And oftentimes it's going to be during the oppositional or right before the oppositional years. Because in, in the mid 40s, that's symbolically the oppositional time in our chart. But we really have the opportunity to see the light. And then depending on how we handle what we've seen, what we've come to understand about ourselves, handle the idea that we are going to perish, we are, we are going to die. And we need to take some, we, we need to take some steps that are bringing us into a different stage of life. If we cannot meet that very different stage of life, then we fall into a pattern of acting out a more immature, uh, well, having, having a more immature action. So you can see this often in people who, you know, are on the threshold of or involved in those, those midlife years. And they really cannot accept that they aren't going to be here to get forever. They cannot accept that they're going to age. They cannot accept that there is a, uh, finality to things. And, um, you know, they start dressing like teenagers or buying things that are making them feel young or dating much, much, much younger people. And some people can get very much trapped in that stage. A lot of people will fall back in that stage. And then they'll solve it. And they will be able to develop that capacity that was missing that made it possible for them to move forward into that next half of life. Because we're at the halfway point here, which is what the opposition is, the halfway point. So right before we get to that halfway point, we often have these inconjunct issues really rear their ugly head. And we have to figure out how we are going to face life and reality in ourselves in a healthy way. And to accept that the first half is over. To accept it gracefully. And and to accept it, period. So people can't accept it. It's too horrifying. So I, the inconjunction is like a large piece of sand in our shoe. And we're gonna have to at some point in our life, even though the problems that come out of it may not be extremely severe, they are severe enough where we are not able to move forward. So I always look at the aspects in terms of this of rock size. And I, I need to come up with a visual. I need to go out and collect some rocks actually, so I can take pictures of them and we can all see what these different, uh, avenues of discomfort really look like. So, um, does that help Michelle at all? No, it does. It does. It just, it's just, um, yeah, I was never, I always get that that mixed information. I don't know why people talk of the in conjunction as being a minor aspect. So it works pretty much. I don't, well, I do know in that it's chronic. So we could see that as, you know, chronic as opposed to terminal. We'd say, oh, it's minor. You know, you can live with it. It's just a wart hanging off the end of your nose. You know, it's not going to kill you, but it sure might make your life a more difficult place to be. So I would think that it was actually major myself. Having a wart hanging off the end of your nose, you want to get that clipped off. So any other questions? Katie, I'm just thinking, I think actually I'm taking, I'm just repeating thoughts from other people, but I understand when I first watched your video on the in conjunction, uh, it was a while ago. And now that I've like heard the information repeated enough, I get it more. And I think it was actually a bad boy on the group who was talking about in conjunctions just because he has a lot of hearing. And just, I saw how it was like, it's actually this kind of very specific torture that you're at this pain level that it's just not enough to motivate you to change it. Because like everything you do is motivated by pain. Yes. So that was square that you will get down and and do it. But it's just like, it's like this teasing thing. Like it's like just making your life horrible, but yeah, you're living with it, but it's not comfortable. So yeah, that's a wonderful way to put it. That's wonderful. I think you just taught the whole lesson there that just encapsulates everything. It is in terms of pain. We do not change unless there's pain. That's just part of the human psyche. Unless there's pressure, unless there's painless or suffering, we will not change. That's what motivates us is discomfort and pain. And so there isn't quite enough, as Katie says, there isn't quite enough for us to do something about it today. You know, it's like a bunion. We're still limping around, but it's not quite enough to make us take the time to schedule an appointment and go through, you know, everything it's going to take to fix it. When we need to, we need to. In fact, I just had an inconjunct happen in my life, archetypal experience, where I've been having a chronic loss of energy over the past seven years or so. And it was so slow that I didn't notice it until I am now feeling tired all the time. So I just let it go on. I was like, oh, you know, I'm, I'm gonna address this. I'll address this. But it just kept, I just kept letting it go. And it was building and building and building until it did get to a point of actually more being of an oppositional issue. It's like, I have to solve this because if I've let this go so long, I am going to actually get more permanently sick if I don't clean it up. And, um, I did. It's been maybe, oh, six or seven months that I've really been back on the wagon, eating right, um, just going to the chiropractor three times a week, doing what I need to do. I'm putting out the energy that I didn't muster before. So I'm coming back from the brink. I'm starting to be able to think more clearly. And I just didn't realize that there was that slow slope that I was on. And I think there's a lot of times that that happens to us that sometimes it just happens so subtly that we can just get to a point where, like, okay, well, I have to deal with this. And I, you know, house cleaning is that way. I find that with my house, that, you know, start out really, really nice and clean. And then things start to build up a little bit. And then it gets to a point where I look around and I'm like, okay, everybody get a broom, we're gonna fix this and clean this up. And I think that is often what our in conjunctions are leading us to. They're leading us to that point of, I gotta fix this. But it can take a lot longer with an in conjunction. It can take years. And oftentimes it's when we'll have some kind of oppositional transit or progression that will make us finally realize, I gotta solve this thing. And then we will have that breakthrough moment. So in conjunctions can lead to breakthroughs. It just depends on, are we actually bringing our attention to it the way that we should be? So, okay, guys, I think we have to wrap it up there for today.
