“Aspects are a way of unlocking potential and utilizing all your talents.
They can be used to spark profound change in your life.”
-Robin Antepara

She moves beyond viewing aspects as either challenging or harmonious and shows that every aspect is a valuable source of self-knowledge, providing insight into our strengths, talents, shadow issues, and even life purpose.
In this straightforward and lively guide, Robin Antepara tells how to utilize the energy of all your natal aspects to your best advantage by using the focus and direction they provide for maximum personal growth. In addition to the five major aspects, Antepara explores the potential of natal grand trines in each element (fire, earth, air, and water), yods and inconjuncts, and other minor aspects. The birth charts of Gandhi, Lance Armstrong, Princess Diana, Marlon Brando, Kurt Cobain, Martha Stewart, and other cultural icons provide illuminating examples of the importance of alchemizing planetary aspects to realize your life's true potential.
