is a form of excess potential
It leads to the creation of obstacles & blocks along the way to your soul's fulfillment.
artificially elevated importance
Importance is elevated for highly-prized subjects.
Since every subject has equal value on the spiritual plane, this artificial elevation of importance creates an imbalance of energy, which nature will seek to correct. Concrete problems or blocks arise as a function of any artificial comparisons. Each sign will tend to elevate importance for those subjects which they value the most, thus creating unnecessary roadblocks in those areas.
Lower importance to dissolve problems
Instead of fighting with problems directly, you can just eliminate the excess potential. This means making sure your inner well-being is unaffected, even if you don't get your way. That inner image is what fast-tracks you to a different sector of reality, for better or worse, so the trick is to make your inner image match the reality sector you want to unfold next (e.g. avoid an inner image based on a fear of lack, which is a direct expression of elevated importance).
Hold on loosely
Paradoxically, when you consciously lower importance, you will start getting your way much more often. Old problems will dissolve. This is because when importance is at a minimum, your inner image is tuned into the sectors of reality where you have absolutely everything you need & want.
Try this exercise:
Identify where you feel a sense of lack or stuck-ness concerning the subjects listed under your Sun sign below. Consciously lower importance for each one. If a subject concerns your loved ones, livelihood or a highly charged topic & lowering importance is difficult, devise a back up/insurance plan so the mind relaxes. Get to an inner state inside of yourself where you are okay if it happens, and you are okay if it doesn't.
Remember:
It is not your desire which gets fulfilled, but rather your intention. Your inner image (a soul-mind picture of your intention) determines which outer sector of reality unfolds in your layer of the world. Raising importance only tunes you in to sectors where you lack what you desire, or where you are in constant fear of losing it.
