Astounding Language

Basic drives can be thought of as the motivational hot buttons that make a person overcome difficulties and continue to press on to success. Basic drives as defined by destiny astrology can also be called basic needs. For instance an Aquarius basic drive is to understand and see things in the bigger picture, especially as it pertains to society as a whole.

Destiny astrology is the serious use of the birth chart to determine the focus, basic drives, and problems in the fulfillment of the soul of an individual. “Focus” is defined the things that are most important to an individual; therefore, the things he or she tends to work toward. For instance a Taurus tends to focus on securing wealth and achieving stability.

The problems in the fulfillment of these focuses and drives are seen in the various afflictions and states of ill-condition of the planets in a person’s chart. The problems provide detail and geography to the road map of a person’s life. Problems become developmental opportunities for the individual; as they say, “character building.”

When these basic personality/character factors are taken into account with a complete look at the horoscope of an individual, an actual sense of the destiny of the individual can be brought out. You may have also heard the phrase “character is destiny”; I would like to add that you are what you do. The milkman delivers milk, the blacksmith hammers out metal into useful implements; their actions are an expression of what they are.

Overcoming difficulties, as shown in your destiny astrology, becomes the means of finding out the life-areas that you will be specializing in. An astrologer with a sense of destiny for individuals can help you to find out what your destiny is and help you to manifest it.
