Episode 7: Let's talk about psychological complexes and how we can identify and work with them via the birth chart.

Astrology reflects psychological patterns and a healing potential. When things seem impossible to change, astrology shows us a wide spectrum of future potentials. But, discernment and curiosity are key to finding this healing potential within the chart.

Episode 6: In Jungian psychology (one of the branches of depth psychology), individuation is the life long process of becoming yourself - as a unique individual. This process of becoming often has a feeling tone of moving toward what feels purposeful for you, maybe even elements of destiny or fate. The astrology birth chart is well suited to be a guide and connector to help us explore the multitude of potentials when we feel a lack of purpose, potential, or simply stuck. In this episode, I share some thoughts about individuation and the birth chart in the context of working with astrology in psychotherapy. In this episode, I mention the book, "C.G. Jung: The Basics" by Jungian analyst Ruth Williams. Enjoy!

Episode 5: your personal experiences are a valid way of understanding and learning astrology. We are conditioned to value the external methods of learning (via books, authors, teachers, and podcasts) as the authority on how to interpret a planet, sign, or house. But your inner reflections - what an astrological symbol means to you (!) - is an essential part of the process of cultivating an astrological worldview and a symbolic way of living.
