"Only the development of his inner powers can
offset the dangers inherent in man's losing
control of the tremendous natural forces at his
disposal and becoming the victim of his own
achievements. Roberto Assagioli

The Aspect Pattern

• The aspects form a complete pattern that
  represents the structure of the individual
  consciousness. This includes a central life
  motivation ... This is the deepest level in man
  and barely, if at all, accessible to the unaware,
  even though the whole life is governed by this
  motivating life energy.
• Bruno and Louise Huber

5 levels of the chart
Central core (source of being, doorway to
universal energies)
Aspects (inner motivation and energy)
Planets (psychological drives)
Signs (archetypal qualities, human inheritance)
Houses (the environment)

Huber orb chart

• Orbs from Sun and Moon are wider than from other
  planets, especially transpersonal planets which
  have the smallest orbs.
• This creates one-way aspects where reciprocal
  action is more difficult. The aspect exists from
  the planet with the larger orb.

crumble It is so sad and beautiful, So

Whatever talents I possess may suddenly diminish
or suddenly increase. I can with ease become an
ordinary fool. I may be one now. But it doesnt
do to upset ones own vanity"

The Aspect Pattern

• The overall aspect pattern ... gives rise to a
  correctly proportioned picture of the character
  of the person concerned, which is why it is
  important to learn to interpret aspect structures
  as a whole and not just individual aspects.
