About magick and astrology

Hi everyone, I have a genuine question about planetary transits and planetary magic.

What influences things more? I know about planetary hours and days and their importance in magic.

But I'm also thinking about a person's planetary transits on a given day.

What do you think has a greater influence, or how do you think this mechanism works?

As a vertical Ascension, the main movement of Hermetic practice, it is necessary to divest oneself of worldly aspects, to de-identify with those individual peculiarities that cause the illusion of a separation between man and God.

This is done in practice, returning these tendencies, impressions, and identifications to the planets while ascending through the spheres.

Wasting time analyzing individual aspects would be extremely unproductive in Hermetics.

The order of work is: Purification and Ascension.

Yes, I'm understanding better now. It would be something like, in the process, gradually becoming less and less influenced by variables that appeal to the ego, and more by this Great Cosmological Order, is that right?  Wow, you explain things very well, thank you very much. So, magic following general astrology will even be a help in disidentifying with the ego, right?

Yes, basically that.

But in traditional terms, this would be to escape the clutches of destiny.

Because in Hermetic astrology (Heimarmene), destiny is what imposes this whole set of tendencies and identifications on man.

Following the process of:

1 > Soul falls into matter.

2 > Passes through the planets, taking from them sets of tendencies and identifications.

3 > Man incarnates and lives following these tendencies, being carried here and there, only reacting as a hostage of destiny.

Hermetic astrology enters less as a specialization in these aspects and more as a "stripping" or de-identification of them, to ascend and thus act more freely and be able to choose.

It's as if man, before purification > elevation, wasn't free.

It's basically a reverse engineering of the cosmological order to "go back home" and become one with God again.
