What does it mean to lose ground?

Losing power does not mean that the function disappears, but that it is expressed in an environment that does not naturally support it. For example, a person is obviously capable, but has to use an unfamiliar culture, rules, or language system to do things, so it is more likely to be slow, circuitous, laborious, and require trial and error. Its difficulty lies not in the lack of functionality but in the higher cost of expression.

So losing ground is about the context being unfavorable, not a decrease in value.

Planets that are out of favor in the early days often make people feel that they are always a little behind in this aspect, never natural enough, and always have to make up lessons. But precisely because people cannot rely on instinct, people may develop more observations, reflections and alternative paths. Losing ground after maturity often has the power of "I'm not born easy, but I know how to find a way."

Many delicate abilities are actually developed by unlucky hands.

It is also a loss of power. If this star is caught by good aspects, falls in a house suitable for practice, and is repeatedly supported by other configurations, its performance will be very different from that of an isolated star losing power. Mature readers will not just put labels, but will continue to read: Are there any remedial resources for this star? Does it end up becoming an obstacle, or does it become a particularly recognizable set of expressions?

Losing momentum is most easily misunderstood as "I just can't do it." In fact, the closer reality is that the growth of this part of ability does not follow a straight line. You may have to go around, make up for it, translate it, or do it later, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have it. It’s just that this set of functions cannot be developed in the most labor-saving way.

When this level is seen clearly, people tend to find it easier to reconcile with their own inconveniences.
