The Psychological Astrology Approach
What is Psychological Astrology?
In 1983, the Centre for Psychological Astrology (CPA) was created, formally merging fields of Astrology and primarily Jungian Psychology. Psychological Astrology blends mental health ideology with the system of astrological interpretation to create a meaningful and therapeutic way to approach personality analysis and healing.
If you’re looking for astrology that focuses on not just information, but transformation, Psychological Astrology is for you! It includes: personal growth that discusses how to heal unconscious patterns associated with the zodiac signs, breaking through defense mechanisms, self-acceptance based on the mapping of our psyche through our birth chart, and becoming the most whole version of yourself no matter what planetary transits may arise.
When you understand the ways the zodiac signs express through you in strengths and challenges, you can become a conscious creator of your life. You can book your astrology birth chart reading with NOONLIT SAGE (Monica), local Psychological Astrologer in Phoenix, AZ, either in person or via video call!
Themes Used in Psychological Astrology Interpretation
-
JUNGIAN ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY
Carl Jung is a famous psychologist whose concepts have deeply influenced the field of psychology. Common concepts that coincide with, and are utilized in Psychological Astrology can include:
Archetypes + Symbols
Extroversion/Introversion
Animus/Anima (Masculine/Feminine)
Functions: Intuition, Sensing, Thinking, Feeling
Individuation: Process of integrating parts of the psyche -
HUMANISTIC PSYCHOLOGY
Abraham Maslow, a prominent Humanistic Astrologer, began a movement focusing on people’s desire for growth. It moved away from older models of psychoanalysis that was more fated and determined personality as set by outside conditions. Changing the “self” was now more than possible.
Positive + Creative Human Potential
Whole Person Perspective, not just Parts
Responsibility for Self-Observation and Behavior Change
Self-Actualization (Hierarchy of Needs) -
TRANSPERSONAL (SPIRITUAL) PSYCHOLOGY
Taking Carl Jung’s ideas of “collective unconscious” to a further level, this type of psychology integrates more spiritual understanding to the human experience. The focus shifts from “self” to “universal oneness,” culture and community shaping people as well.
Inner Child Healing
Spiritual Crisis/ Shadow Work
Guided Visualization
Meditation and Mindfulness Practices
Self-Transcendence
Why choose a Psychological Astrologer?
Astrology can be mis-used as a tool, just like anything else. The Astrology of old (which evolved into “Pop Astrology”) focuses on predictions and generalizations that typically increase insecurities, fears and addictive reliance on guidance in those who participate. This is because of the fatalistic messaging that accompanies most pop astrology horoscopes.
A Psychological Astrologer honors the ethics of working with someone’s psyche. Their goal is not to act as someone who could absolutely predict the future, as no one can truly do so. The goal should be to assist in deepening self-awareness, increasing personal empowerment, and using the natal chart as a map of explaining the potential reasons why someone is the way they are, and why certain situations evolve as they do.
Personal Agency (Free Will), Not Fated/Deterministic Outcomes: A Psychological Astrologer will focus more on how you can prepare to respond to energetic forecasts, instead of saying there is a guaranteed outcome indicated via the horoscope.
Integration of “Strengths and Weaknesses”, Not “Good or Bad” zodiac signs: A Psychological Astrologer will share a perspective that encourages unifying one’s personality by developing a cooperative relationship between the conscious and unconscious parts of our self-expression.
Pattern Recognition + Pattern Interruption = New Way of Being A Psychological Astrologer will use the natal chart to illuminate one’s energetic foundation, while also using mindfulness and cognitive reframing practices to assist in the creation of a more aligned way of being.
Benefits of Psychological Astrology
-

GUIDANCE FOR LIFE TRANSITIONS
Many periods of change in life can be linked to astrological transits. For example, 28-30, 58-60 is the Saturn return, influencing a restructuring of alignment. Eclipse seasons mark cosmic beginnings and endings.
-

IMPROVED RELATIONSHIP COMMUNICATION
Learning about your moon sign (emotional needs), your mercury sign (the way you think/speak) and other birth chart placements can greatly increase relationship compatibility.
-

UNDERSTANDING FAMILY DYNAMICS
Birth chart houses like the 4th house can illuminate patterns within your family interactions. Placements like Saturn and Chiron can also offer insights into lessons and core wounds stemming from childhood.
-

COSMIC AFFIRMATION AND SELF-ACCEPTANCE
Insecurities or doubts surrounding self-expression can be healed by affirming unique personality traits in one’s astrology chart. It’s a therapeutic way to boost self-esteem.

Holistic Healing Beyond Astrology
Astrology is truly therapy from the stars - a system that can gently guide your awakening and healing. When you begin to uncover your subconscious patterning within your birth chart reading, a lot of emotions may rise to the surface. While Astrological insights can be very beneficial and healing intellectually, there is still a lot of therapeutic healing that can be pursued on an energetic level.
Sound Healing offers a wonderful supplement to an astrology session, as the beautiful sounds and frequencies work to soothe the nervous system and support emotional release.
Breathwork similarly moves stagnant energy stuck in the body from past stressful experiences to allow for movement and release in order to move forward more aligned.
A NATAL CHART READING IS THE PERFECT GIFT FOR A ZODIAC FAN!
