The obstacle shows up as constant checking. The person compares words against times, notices discrepancies, verifies what was said — and usually finds confirmation of their suspicions where there is none.

This destroys a relationship faster than the thing they are afraid of.

What it blocks is sensitivity. Behind this point is someone with a fine feel for people and their states; but a sensitivity aimed at hunting for deception stops working towards understanding.

What to do: ask directly instead of investigating. And accept the answer for as long as there are no real grounds not to.

Obstacle point

Obstacle point = DT + MT

The obstacle point is built differently from the other calculations, and that is important to understand before reading its interpretation.

In this system TP is the entrance to the best part of a person's karma: behind it stand their real talent and their strongest character trait. But the approach to it is blocked — by doubt, by the fear of doing it wrong, by the sense that in this particular matter one is weaker than others. That is exactly why a step that would come easily goes untaken for years.

Hence the main point: **the trait that TP names is not characteristic of the person.** It is not a diagnosis and not a defect, but an obstruction placed in front of a strength. If, on reading the interpretation, you felt stung — that is by design: recognition is itself the first step.

The task is not to fight yourself, but to see this obstruction and stop believing it. By this logic, what opens up behind it is the very thing the calculation is made for.
