Without an understanding of our inner resistance, we cannot align with our soul's success sectors.
This is like trying to get rid a weed by cutting the top off. If you don't want the weed (negative pattern) to grow back...
Have you read interpretations of your natal chart's aspects, but felt confused about what you can do to shift a negative pattern?
Have you found interpretations where the aspect manifests in a lower vibrational way, but you intuitively knew there must be a specific purpose for each aspect? (Spoiler: you're right!)
Were you left wondering:
• Is my destiny fixed, or do I have choice to create a different reality?
•Are the archetypes on either side of the aspect malleable?
• How can I recognize the different forms that my inner resistance comes in?
• Why do hard aspects seem to cause problems no matter what?
• Can hard aspects ever be an asset?
• Can an aspect accelerate my spiritual growth?
• What can I do with soft aspects?
Further, what if you have a lot of hard aspects in the chart...
are you really subject to those same negative patterns for an entire lifetime?
Why is that the more you try to “fix” the negative patterns you see in the outside world, the more they seem to stick to you like glue, whether that’s a string of bad relationships, not being able to find fulfilling work, or feeling like you can’t find the right “strategy” to really get your business off the ground?
What is the point of having free will if it seems like the universe sometimes gives you the opposite of what you actually wanted? Is there something wrong with your strategy? What does it actually mean to choose—and what is going on within the vibrational plane when we make a choice?
You may think that your ability to solve problems is directly correlated with your level of intelligence, but this isn’t true. There are very intelligent people who have no idea of the relationship between their inner resistance and the formation of a successive stream of obstacles in a certain area which is keeping their dream life at arm's length. The good news: it doesn't have to be that way for you!
One of the laws of the universe is: What you resist persists...
...thus, your ability to solve problems actually depends upon your ability to dissolve the true cause of the problem, which is your inner resistance...
I hear you say, "Ok, but how do I identify my resistance? And what can I do to make sure it doesn't come back?!"
Since it contains a map of all of the soul's karmic impressions that you incarnated carrying, you can use it to uncover all of the unconscious resistance you didn't know had been blocking your blessings.
You can't change the aspect (and by the time I'm through teaching you, you won't want to any longer), but you can change the level of consciousness that you’re on in any area of life. When I talk about the scale of consciousness, I'm referring to a quantifiable scale of human emotion calibrated by kinesiological muscle testing over thousands of subjects by Dr. David R. Hawkins. ¹ I use it in my practice to illustrate the differences in expression of an aspect across varying levels of consciousness.
Here's the thing: when you come into wanting something specific, the mind will automatically resist what is now unwanted, but this happens unconsciously. Just having the cognitive awareness of this phenomenon isn't what solves the issue.
If you don’t catch yourself each time and dissolve this resistance, you’ll end up with the opposite of what you actually want, because one of the laws of the universe is: What you resist persists.
What kind of a tool could systematically show you exactly where you've been holding unconscious resistance? Believe it or not, the natal chart can be used for this purpose, and that's what I call Astrological Transurfing. I show you how to apply the principles of Reality Transurfing with astrology so that you can use natal chart to identify your own invisible resistance and dissolve it. Transurfing is a widely known method of navigating the infinite number of reality sectors which are still in metaphysical form that was channeled by Vadim Zeland which allows people to choose which they prefer. ² The million-dollar question is: which reality sectors actually fulfill your unique soul? That's where we consult the chart.
Right this very moment, you are unconsciously resisting the sectors of reality which contain what you don’t want, and that’s why they’re sticking around. You think to yourself “Why can’t I get rid of this negative pattern?” and I’m here to tell you, it’s because you aren’t equipped to deal with your inner resistance, which is the energetic root of the issue.
In order to reliably spot every instance your psyche is holding resistance, you must understand the nature of excess potentials. These are the energy basis for how your inner resistance turns into the physical manifestation of problems.³
First, you'll need to be able to spot resistance. By the way, why is it so elusive?
"What you resist persists," seems like such a basic principle, yet it eludes most people, because resistance is invisible. The mind thinks that it needs to change the current reality sector in order to see the change, not realizing that its very resistance to outer circumstances will only keep them in place. ⁴
How many times have you tried to solve or fix a problem today? Come up with an estimated number....
Out of that many attempts, how many times did you pinpoint your inner resistance toward what you did not want, and then dissolve it successfully?
If you answered none, then your mind is looking for a solution in the wrong place. There is a perfect solution to every issue, but your inner resistance is the very thing preventing that solution from revealing itself.
Rather than accept that success is “hard” to achieve and attracting abundance is “complicated” and running a business is “difficult” and satisfying relationships are “hard work,” I’m asking you consider looking at the root cause of why one subject seems difficult and why some other subject (that you feel detached about) seems easy.
Sometimes, my students don’t allow themselves to believe that the sense of limitation in love they experience from a Venus square Saturn pattern can turn into a mastery in the areas of romance, finances and friendships… because that mastery seems SO far off.. that is, until I show them how to dissolve their inner resistance, which effectively dissolves the obstacles in their life. Obstacles are a reflection of inner resistance.
It isn’t that the aspect itself is changing… it’s that your level of consciousness changes and then affects the expression of the aspect because it’s embodied on a higher level of consciousness.
Astrological language does illuminate the gifts, characteristics and past impressions of your unique soul, and it’s crucial to have this information so you can consciously follow the path of your soul’s fulfillment. However, astrological language on its own doesn’t automatically give you the ability to climb the scale of consciousness ¹
You can’t correct a destructive pattern from the same level that the problem was created on. It's not about addition, but about subtraction—the dissolution of the blocks to your soul's true fulfillment (which already exists!) ⁵ You have to understand why you’ve unconsciously been making choices toward things you don’t want in your outer world.
When the mind leads the way, it tries to “fix” problems using the force of the personal will, like a child trying to go up to a movie screen and push around the actors with his little hands. ⁴ It won’t actually change the plot, and so the lower levels of consciousness will predominate in your inner image, unless and until you dissolve your resistance to them.
Because most people think editing their current reality sector is their only option, most people are allowing their mind to be their master… but the mind is actually a tool that was designed to be in service to the soul. ⁴ If you want the higher levels of consciousness to be dominant instead, you have to learn how to allow the soul to lead the way.

Make career moves, initiate relationship conversations or plan creative launches with greater alignment. For instance, knowing your natal opposition is meant to show you when to let one set of archetypal qualities take center stage at a certain time, and when that archetype should retreat to let the opposing set of qualities shine. This teaches you that retreat is a strategic and valuable tactical phase, not a setback or personal failure.
Break cycles of unworthiness, toxic relationships or procrastination by identifying the excess potential behind these patterns. Each negative pattern has a certain set of obstacles, which manifested physically due to excess potentials, which came about because of your inner resistance. ³ When you release that resistance, the negative cycle dissolves right along with it.
Dissolving resistance means radical acceptance of any negative emotions and a willingness to let the energy behind the emotion go. When we let go of a certain level of consciousness—such as fear—the universe automatically replaces that level of consciousness with a higher one, such as courage. ⁶ When we do this in one area of life, we will be delighted to discover that it has positive effects in other areas of life we weren’t even focused on.
When you know exactly what each type of aspect is asking of you, you can see how the universe is bringing you the exact growth experiences needed in order to align with your soul’s fulfillment. Even if those experiences challenge you, it doesn’t cause you suffering—instead, you enter a continuous flow state of following your inner guidance. Feeling lost is replaced with the feeling of having a clear direction.
Everything outside of you is a reflection of inner conditions, but it helps to get specific. For example, without knowing that an opposition at a lower level of consciousness can cause you to project your inner dissatisfaction onto someone outside of you, you may have allowed your parent’s disapproval of your choices ruin your inner image, not realizing that it’s only a reflection of your own self-criticism. Once you let the self-criticism go, the attacks from others stop.
I’ve found that when something comes that easily to an individual (e.g. a trine or sextile), they aren’t even aware that they possess a specific gift. Students ask me, “Can’t everyone do that?” It feels so natural that they often don’t spend any time developing it. Conversely, many people think hard aspects are synonymous with misfortune, but they are not—they are the fastest path to mastery of that subject because of the amount of friction they carry. Bonus: when you climb the scale of consciousness for a hard aspect, you can start evolving through creativity instead of through pain!
They can, but hard aspects (e.g. square, opposition) produce more resistance than soft aspects (e.g. sextile, trine). Aspects are part of an evolutionary cycle of consciousness, and each type of aspect serves the creative urge that happened at the conjunction (beginning) of that cycle. We will use the stages within the involution & evolution hemicycles as a frame of reference to identify where we have hidden resistance in our inner image that needs to be cleared to dissolve the blocks we experience at any stage. The Cosmic Flow Code will teach you how to delineate aspects in terms of their phases in an academic way, which many students skip over.
Before diving into the Aspect Delineation Guide, be sure you have read The Little Black Book of Dissolving Obstacles first. Our practical applications regarding natal aspects depend on your understanding of how sustained negative emotion relates to the formation of excess potentials, which leads to the manifestation of physical obstacles. These concepts will become easy to work with after reading this book, and you will use this technical knowledge in the Aspect Delineation Guide.
No. Those interpretations rarely address how the expression of an aspect will differ when the native predominately on a lower level of consciousness vs. how it expresses at the higher levels. The usefulness of the aspect delineation guide is that it shows you how to go from the lower vibrational expression to the higher using specific, everyday examples.
Keep in mind that a full interpretation of an aspect will depend upon which planetary archetypes are on either end of the conversation, plus their dignities & debilities. This is a huge topic that requires practice. If you find yourself wanting to go deeper with the Cosmic Flow Code principles for every archetype and aspect in your natal chart, the next step is enrolling in my Level One Course:
Foundations of Planetary Myths. The Cosmic Flow Code is a great way to test the waters and find out if you resonate with this work before enrolling in the full course.
