The Secret Unwrapping

Lessons from Astrological Tension

Oppositions and squares are gifts wrapped in thick, thorny paper — the kind you can’t tear open with your hands. In the world of astrology, these challenging aspects are not punishments, but initiations: complex blessings disguised as struggle.

On such stubborn wrapping, you must find the hidden dotted line, the small, almost invisible tab you can pull — and once you do, the packaging will begin to open on its own. Inside, you’ll find more layers, more wrappings to peel away, each revealing a deeper part of yourself.

The first step in unwrapping the gifts hidden within oppositions and squares is always the hardest and the most meaningful — because it asks you to engage not with force, but with awareness, patience, and trust in the process of becoming.
