In the horoscope, the Vertex relates to fateful and karmic encounters with others. This significant point is found on the western side of the horoscope in the houses of association with others – be they lovers, workmates, business partners, children or family.
These encounters and the people that are part of them, demand our attention and are a repeating pattern in our lives. As our consciousness and awareness grows, we begin to develop a familiarity with them that is not at all comfortable- a sense of deja vu that often brings a sense of dread – just like Groundhog Day.
The challenge is to step out of our comfort zone and step up to these situations rather than ‘bury our head in the sand’ and wait for them to go away. In stepping up you move towards the next level of soul evolution that can be a catalyst for positive growth and life changes.
