Description
This lecture describes two important and common sign-based configurations: aversion and decimation. Aversion is the dark partner of aspects, and occurs when two signs are not related by aspect, so that planets in them cannot see each other, and when a planet in a sign cannot see its own sign. Aversion also helps explain the negative meanings of four traditional houses: the twelfth, second, sixth, and eighth. If you use aspects, you must pay attention to aversion! Decimation occurs when one planet is in the tenth sign from another, and so has a dominating and stressful relationship to the other planet. This lecture includes basic chart examples from both Ben Dykes and the audience, and includes the MP3 audio, slides, and a handout. (Length: 1:12:00, 33MB.)
