Reclaiming astrology as a therapeutic practice
Imagine for a moment that at the time of your birth, the cosmos wrote you a love letter written by the pattern of the sky – an indelible blueprint for your soul’s evolutionary journey…
Your natal birth chart is a cosmic gift, a symbolic tool to help understand the purpose of this life and how to maximize your potential and evolve through the inherent challenges of being human.
In my view, practicing psychotherapy without referring to the astrological birth chart is like trying to study biology without a microscope or like taking a road trip without a map. The birth chart is a uniquely accurate and individualized means of understanding the inner landscape and your life path.
During these times especially, it is important to hold a strong vision for astrology as a healing tool, not a generalized sensationalistic form of entertainment that can sometimes create fear and stress.
By drawing upon the ancient and current wisdom of humanistic and evolutionary astrology combined with clinically sound psychotherapeutic approaches, soul therapy can prove to be a profoundly healing and transformational tool.
