In the second part, Mr. Arroyo describes various astrological components, such as the signs of the zodiac (from a more elemental perspective), the planets (from an "energy regulator" perspective) and the houses. He emphasizes that a simple mechanistic approach of chart interpretation often falls short when the impact of the elements themselves are not fully taken into account, as well as not taking into account how particular individuals may make decisions that overcome what might otherwise may be misinterpreted as "difficult" aspects, when they might actually be good.

Mixing Energy

I am not talking mere intellectual 'descriptives' 'interpretations' I am talking BODY 'sensations'.. contractions, gripping, breathing as a result of a energy excitation, location and flow..

For Example:

MARS..
what does its ENERGY FEEL like in the BODY?

MARS.. PLUS SUN...
what does THAT feel like swirling in the BODY?

MARS.. PLUS SUN.. PLUS URANUS..
what brand VALIUM would you take to cope with THAT mix of energy raging through your body?

WHY?
because that is closer to how we EXPERIENCE the energy.. rather than some intellectual description that sounds nice intellectually but forgets to get the real player involved OUR BODY.

Mistake in thinking

Male energy (MARS)... steps out.. being the cause... gets beaten down... injuries incurred

Female energy (MOON)... wants to express care.. love... tenderness.. nurtures.. bathes.. cleans.. holds.. puts on bandages

Male energy (MARS)... gets conflicting signal that's a swirl.. Care.. love... tenderness.. not a good (energy) match... has trouble mixing that with STRIVE, CONQUER, WIN (mars).... survival energy (???) to NOT get KILLED ... responds with energy that is a pushing away(???)... that picture is shown for him as weak... danger... threat... push away... that gives conflicting signal confusion energy (???) to female energy (moon).

WHERE is the MISTAKE in thinking (at the energy level)?

(i) Is it that male energy (MARS) sees itself under THREAT of DISSIPATION from female energy (MOON) when in the context of REPAIR... Does it think that that will defocus it, weaken it... if so that is NOT true
(ii) Is it that female energy (MOON) sees pushing away as a threat... It thinks it will FOREVER be cut off from expressing care, love, tenderness... if so that is NOT true

A LOT OF MISTAKE in thinking came about in early childhood

DARK MOON

INDICATES
form of frustration.. in area of desire..
OR a POWERLESSNESS..
OR an INhibition

SHOWS
'WHERE'... we question ourselves (job, belief)
'HOW'... we let (a sensation around that) go.

'WHERE' we can let the WHOLE FLOW into ourselves
without putting an 'i' in the way
without up a barricade to hide behind
without diffusing or deluding

IS
a firm 'WILL' to be OPEN to the 'greater' flow
a TRUSTING
a RELYING on the great 'laws'

CREATES
a NECESSARY VOID
nature always fills a void
