Symbolically, angles are the network of arteries and veins that link energies between the houses and the planets. They indicate connections between our inner and outer worlds. The square between the North Node and Pluto creates tension — a springboard for growth.
Traditional astrology considers aspects, like planets and houses, in terms of good and bad, difficult or easy. The terminology is actually misleading. Aspects, like planets, are merely representations of certain types of energy. Energy itself is neutral. What we do with the energy is either beneficial or not. Again, it comes back to free will.
