Toward Ecosophy

Not the OP, but if you have a natal chart where all the classical planets are rather strongly afflicted, does this mean astrological magic is something best left alone? The only planets in my chart in decent shape are Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, and I don't think anyone knows enough about how to use them in astrological magic for it to be an option (and, working with those three seems like a recipe for some serious imbalances and danger anyway).
