The Dialogue Between Psyche and Cosmos
"My work is rooted in psychological astrology, an approach that views the cosmos not as a clockwork mechanism for prediction, but as a living symbolic order—one that mirrors the unfolding of the human psyche. Astrology becomes a language of relationship: between the self and the soul, the personal and the transpersonal."
Psychological Astrology: A Different Approach
Unlike predictive astrology, psychological astrology asks not "what will happen?" but "who am I becoming?" It treats the birth chart as a map of your potentials, not a rigid script of fate.
This approach draws on the legacy of Carl Jung, and has been deeply shaped by the work of astrologers like Dane Rudhyar and Liz Greene. Rudhyar reframed astrology as a tool for self-actualization and spiritual growth, while Greene brought depth psychology into astrological interpretation with unparalleled insight.
When I read your chart, I'm listening for the inner story: the tensions, the unfolding potentials, the cycles of becoming that shape your life from within. The goal is not to tell you what will happen, but to help you become more conscious of and aligned with the deeper currents.
Core Principles of My Approach
Integration of Psychology and Astrology
I draw from depth psychology, archetypal psychology, and developmental psychology to interpret astrological symbols. This creates a richer, more nuanced understanding of your chart's meaning in your life.
Emphasis on Purpose and Meaning
Rather than focusing on prediction, I emphasize discovering your unique purpose and meaning. The chart reveals not just who you are, but who you are becoming—your developmental trajectory and potential.
Honoring the Unconscious
I pay special attention to the unconscious dimensions of your chart—the aspects of yourself that may be operating below conscious awareness but significantly influencing your life direction and choices.
Free Will Within Cosmic Pattern
I believe in a middle path between determinism and absolute free will. Your chart shows inherent patterns and tendencies, but how you express and work with these energies involves choice and consciousness.
The Transformative Potential
At its best, psychological astrology offers a path to greater self-awareness and integration. By understanding the archetypal energies at work in your life, you can:
- •Recognize unconscious patterns that may be limiting your growth or causing repeated difficulties
- •Understand your natural gifts and how to express them more fully
- •Navigate life transitions with greater awareness and purpose
- •Develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself and others
- •Find meaning in difficult experiences by understanding their role in your development
This approach doesn't remove life's challenges, but it can transform how you experience and respond to them, helping you live with greater authenticity and purpose.
