Astrotherapy Consult
Astrotherapy, or clinical astrology, is the application of astrology to psychotherapy. More specifically, it is the attempt to
integrate astrological principles with psychological concepts and practices, especially as these relate to working with
clients on an ongoing basis. Astrotherapy includes any form of treatment utilizing astrological precepts to treat emotional
and behavorial problems, remove or modify existing symptoms, and promote positive personality growth and fulfillment
Just as there are many forms of psychotherapy, Astrotherapy takes many forms as well. Efforts have been made to integrate
astrology with humanistic, Jungian, psychoanalytic, Gestalt, psychosynthesis, object relations, and transpersonal therapies.
There is, in short, no single form of Astrotherapy. It is rather a general tool for fostering empathic understanding of the
clients internal world.
In its ability to reveal the godlike powers that reside in the depths of every human being.
Like an x-ray of consciousness, a birthchart reveals the mental and emotional processes that constitute psychic structure.
It assists the therapist in understanding the intrapsychic dynamics that underlie the presenting problem and so enables
the therapist to better support the client's efforts at changing emotional, cognitive and behavioral patterns. Because the
language of astrology is symbolic, and thus without restricted meanings for its component variables, it can be translated
into almost any psychological model or type of therapy.
* The Humanistic Astrologer, says Rudhyar, welcomes crises as signs of growth. She attempts to help the client or patient
to reorient himself toward the causes of the crises, to reassess his goals as well as his motives, to accept what is,
but in a new and holistic manner... which eventually should lead to harmony, inner peace, widom and compassion.
