The saying "the solution lies in the problem" can be applied to planetary archetypes.

If an archetype is working negatively, astrologers can help turn this around. By incorporating the Life Clock, Faye will highlight the psychological timing triggers of disease. Ceres illustrates how environments, and consequently epigenetics, can enhance health.
