Human life is like that, not everything runs like clockwork. Nobody wants to have hardships and problems, but they are an integral part of life and they always occur. Whether we want it or not, there are certain areas and topics in life that are a pain in the neck, because they are a source of hardships and obstacles. Of course, life is always fair (no matter that the opposite statement is common) and therefore it compensates us through areas and subjects that work very well for us, without much effort. This is a pattern in nature.

Today’s article is about the spheres of life that bring the greatest hardships to us and in which things happen without any resistance. The pattern in nature, namely that there is everything in order for a perfect balance to exist, is woven into the astrological symbolism of the individual elements. All components in the horoscope, including the planets, zodiac signs and houses are divided into two categories: the first group includes those that create ease and a favourable conjunction of circumstances and the second consists of those that create difficulties, obstacles, problems and stress.

I am far from simply dividing things into good and bad, into light and easy, and clear. What creates hardships and tensions and faces us with obstacles is a kind of controlling factor in life. It makes us stop and think, sometimes it just saves us from a lot of trouble. Imagine a huge forest fire in front of you and the lack of water nearby, which you could use to limit this fire. Imagine huge amounts of water and the lack of land/walls to limit it, to control the spill.

In the personal horoscope, the planet that rules the sign of the Ascendant is called the ruler of the individual. The Ascendant represents the person as a physical presence on earth, as an object, and it is extremely important in terms of how we move on earth, how we are positioned and how we interact with the world around us as physical beings. Therefore, the ruling planet is crucial in assessing almost everything in the horoscope. In this regard, the areas that bring the biggest obstacles in life and those in which everything is easy depend on the relationship between the relevant planets and the planet that rules the Ascendant.

Things are very simple, so I will explain them with an analogy. Imagine Peter, whose Ascendant is in Aries and the ruling planet is Mars. Peter faces serious difficulties in his relationship with his boss and he does not know how they both regularly end up in conflict situations. Peter’s boss is symbolically represented by Saturn, which rules the managers in his case. Since Mars and Saturn are two planets that do not get along easily, the greatest obstacles for Peter are associated with achievements in life and with all superiors. Mars is vigorous and energetic and Saturn controls it precisely, since "the work must be done efficiently, in the best possible way." Of course, the fact that Peter encounters obstacles does not automatically mean that he cannot achieve anything substantial, to the contrary. But in his case, his career, professional achievement, relations with superiors will remain an area in which he will regularly be faced with difficulties and problems.

Below I will include only basic information based on how different areas of life are connected according to the planets that rule them. I want to emphasize that, sometimes, in areas where things should happen with ease, the situation is different because a "difficult" planet stands there. The opposite is also true - where there are challenges, they are not so significant due to the presence of a planet that removes them, figuratively speaking.

For example, if you were born with Ascendant Aries, issues of love and travelling happen with ease, without much effort. However, if Saturn is in the fifth house which is responsible for love affairs, this topic will surely bring certain obstacles and not so pleasant moments.

Ascendant in Aries
The areas and topics that bring many hardships and challenges are associated with the uncontrollable rush for higher life status and success. You are intolerant by nature to all those who, in one way or another, are dominant over you and with whom you have to comply. You face challenges when you achieve success and gain prestige, when you are at the top of something. It is not easy for you to hold them tight in your hands because the words "reasonably, appropriate" are not present in your vocabulary.

The areas and topics in which things happen with ease and without special effort relate to trips abroad, long distance journeys, contacts with foreigners, obtaining a good and useful education, and also to luck and love in life. Although you are always in a hurry, an interesting fact is that your long term investment from which you earn in the future is often quite profitable and you do not know how it has happened.

Ascendant in Taurus
The areas and topics that bring many hardships and challenges relate to other people’s resources, especially to banks and inheritances. You are one of those people who most often encounter tax and insurance problems, complications with loans, as well as issues related to property which you have not acquired with your own hands. You face challenges and problems in terms of friends, of the people on whose support and protection you rely. Too often, you pay attention to the beautiful packaging, thus being unable to see the bomb that is inside.

The areas and topics in which things happen with ease and without special effort relate to your ability to have a career, grow professionally, achieve prestige and success. Slowly, but very steadily, you climb up the corporate ladder so that no one can push you out, especially if you turn your attention to larger organizations of national importance.

Ascendant in Gemini
The areas and topics that bring many hardships and challenges are connected with colleagues and teamwork. You encounter more obstacles mostly in your working life and in situations when you have to collaborate with others. It is very important that you be careful about how you form your healthy habits, as dealing with a bad habit seems to be quite difficult and often you face a double difficulty – one is to fight the habit and the other to repair damages to your health. Your circle of friends is also an area in which you regularly encounter difficulties, as you tend to "burn out" your relations.

The areas and topics in which things happen with ease, without special effort relate to love, children, and to finding applications for the creative abilities with which you are endowed. You have diverse talents that you easily materialize.

Ascendant in Cancer
The areas and topics that bring many hardships and challenges relate to your communication skills, your ability to communicate and to the ideas that you generate. Too often, you find yourself in situations, in which you seem to speak a strange language that no one around you understands. You encounter problems associated with close relatives, especially siblings and with your early years of education. The paradox is that you are in far better conditions when you study at the university.

The areas and topics in which things happen with ease and without much effort relate to career, professional development, especially if you aspire to an individual and independent development. Things associated with love, children, creative talents develop with ease as well. However, I should point out that there are some not so comfortable and great moments in this ease, because of your emotional volatility and tendency to act under the influence of emotions.

Ascendant in Leo

The areas and topics that bring many hardships and challenges mostly relate to colleagues and teamwork. As if you constantly face obstacles in your working life and in situations in which you need to collaborate with others. It is also very important that you be careful about your healthy habits because dealing with a bad habit seems to be quite a difficult task. Relationships in partnerships of all kinds (especially marriage) are also a source of significant obstacles for you especially with regard to who will be in charge of the general affairs, who will be the boss. It is difficult for you to combine with others on an equal basis.

The areas and topics in which things happen with ease and without special effort relate to everything concerning your home, such as place of residence, immovable property, and to your ability to maintain internal stability, resistance and to balance your personal comfort. All issues associated with education, long distance trips and contacts with foreigners develop in the right way as well.

Ascendant in Virgo
The areas and topics that bring many hardships and challenges relate to your communication skills, your ability to communicate and to the ideas that you generate. It seems that you often fall into situations in which you have to argue in order for others to understand you, and in which you have to defend your positions. You encounter problems associated with close relatives, especially siblings as well as with other people’s money, banks and inheritances. You are one of those people who are often faced with tax and insurance problems, complications with credits and hereditary transactions.

The areas and topics in which things happen with ease and without effort relate to personal finances, accumulation of wealth but mostly as a result of your personal work. You can make a good fortune when relying only on yourself and on your own abilities. Another area where things are easy for you is related to foreigners and long-distance trips.

Ascendant in Libra
The areas and topics that bring many hardships and challenges relate to your communication skills, your ability to communicate and the ideas that you generate. Although you actively strive to communicate with others in the best possible way, you often find yourself in conflict situations. Moreover, you are one of those people who find it terribly difficult to accept advice which brings additional troubles. You encounter problems associated with your close relatives, especially siblings, and in your working life when you need to collaborate with others. Discipline and meeting deadlines are not your strongest points.

The areas and topics in which things happen with ease and without special effort relate to everything concerning your home, including place of residence, immovable property, as well as to your ability to maintain internal stability, personal comfort and sustainability. All issues associated with love, life, children, realization of creative potential develop in the right way as well, albeit in later years.

Ascendant in Scorpio

The areas and topics that bring many hardships and challenges relate to everything concerning your home, including residence, immovable property, as well as to the achievement of internal stability, sustainability, personal comfort in life. Parents, close relatives and especially siblings, are also a frequent source of problems and a serious feud with one of them is common. Property disputes rarely pass you by and you encounter them at least once in a lifetime.

The areas and topics in which things happen with ease and without much effort are associated with your ability to accumulate material resources, earn your own money, to be lucky in terms of all financial issues that mainly affect your personal funds, not those of other people. Love in life, children, realization of creative potential develop well too.

Ascendant in Sagittarius
You are among the lucky people, because even if you face some hardships and challenges, they are very insignificant and you remove them as if by magic. It so happens that you gain mainly support in life. The only serious challenge relates to your friends. You are ‘champions’ in turning your friends into enemies but even that rarely brings problems because, at the same time, you easily turn enemies into friends who replace the old ones.

Particularly favourable are the areas and topics related to love, to finding realization of all your creative potential. All issues related to trips, contacts with foreigners develop very well. Long-term investment is also something that develops very well and with ease.

You are one of those people who are endowed with the highest degree of protection in life. But there is one prerequisite – the degree to which this protection is effective strongly depends on the position of Jupiter in your horoscope. If this planet is poorly positioned or heavily attacked by the other planets, this can lead to very different results.

Ascendant in Capricorn
The areas and topics that bring many hardships and challenges relate to other people’s resources, and especially to banks and inheritances. You are one of those people who most often face tax and insurance problems, complications associated with loans, as well as with issues related to property which you have not acquired with your own hands. It is better not to be involved in common assets, as eventually they will cause serious trouble.

The areas and topics that happen with ease and effortlessly relate to your career, ability to advance and climb up the social and public ladder. All authority figures you meet are particularly favourable to you. Things in relation to love, children, and the pleasures in life develop well, as well as those that relate to having beautiful things, stability and prosperity while realizing your abilities and talents.

Ascendant in Aquarius
The areas and topics that bring many hardships and challenges relate to relationships in partnerships of all kinds (especially in marriage). You are one of those people who face the most problems when associating with others through long-term commitments, even if it is just business. For you it is better to strive for greater independence as you attract partners who, sooner or later, involve you in trouble that is often not due to your mistakes. You face a lot of obstacles and issues associated with public activities that bring you some popularity.

The areas and topics in which things happen with ease and effortlessly relate to everything that affects your home, including residence and property as well as to the achievement of internal stability, resistance, personal comfort in life. Parents are a highly supportive factor in your life and you have significant gains thanks to them.

Ascendant in Pisces
You are among the lucky people because even if you face some hardships and challenges, they are insignificant and seemingly disappear alone, without ever affecting you. The only serious challenge relates to your immediate family, especially to brothers and sisters, and to someone else's property and resources, inheritances. But things eventually turn in your favour, because you know how to break the resistance of everyone who is associated with these issues and it is actually the others who encounter some difficulties because of you. This is good from your perspective, but often leads to a bad reputation.

The areas and topics related to your ability to accumulate material resources, earn your own money, have luck in all kinds of financial issues that mainly affect your personal funds are particularly favourable. Things associated with your working life and situations in which you need to collaborate with others develop well. You easily manage to take leading positions, thanks to your ability to present your work in a particularly good light.

You are one of those people who are endowed with the highest degree of protection in life. The degree to which this protection is effective is highly dependent on the position of Jupiter in your horoscope.
