What is Transpersonal Astrology?

Transpersonal Astrology is a system of self-exploration that provides deep awareness, insight and understanding into the nature of one's self and one's life.  The system essentially provides a symbolic "map of consciousness".  Like any good map, Transpersonal Astrology can offer a clear sense of direction, overall perspective, and a detailed analysis of the terrain being observed.  With skill and knowledge, it can show in great detail a person's most direct path that will lead them toward their goals, greater awareness, wholeness and well-being.  Transpersonal Astrology can give insight into specific life areas such as relationships and career issues.  It can also illuminate and provide answers to wider ranging questions like: "what am I here to do?", "how can I feel better?", "why do I keep dealing with...?".

In Transpersonal Astrology the planets, signs and houses of traditional astrology come alive to form a symbolic language offering a wealth of information regarding a person's inner and outer motivations, drives and desires.  Whereas traditional astrology tends to negate freewill and is literal, deterministic and oftentimes fatalistic and contradictory, transpersonal astrology is about synthesis.  Transpersonal Astrology does not attempt to predict who a person is or what they will decide to do.  It is your choice how you incorporate the knowledge presented in your chart.  Transpersonal Astrology can open the doorway to deep insight, awareness, inner answers and direction to help you focus and use your freewill and choices in life in the most effective and harmonious way. It also shows the most likely areas and causes of potential challenge, conflicts, blocks and obstacles, and how to most directly resolve otherwise confusing and seemingly unresolvable dynamics.  Innate talents and natural abilities, and how and where to most directly apply them in life are all included. 

Transpersonal Astrology is a positive, empowering tool for self-awareness, inner understanding and healing of one's self and one's life.  It's about getting in touch and working with oneself more fully and consciously; and in harmony with personal cycles and natural rhythms.  This direction is extremely valuable when a person is at a difficult, trying or challenging time in their life.  Transpersonal Astrology can provide the clarity and perceptive necessary to help the person move through difficult or challenging times with grace and awareness.  During such times Transpersonal Astrology is especially useful because it can show how to most directly make a healthy response to seemingly impossible, insurmountable, unyielding or unresolvable problems or issues. 

Transpersonal Astrology is also referred to as archetypal astrology and astrological psychology.  Astrological psychology is the study of the psyche (the innermost self, soul, or core personality) using astrology [Latin ps[ymacr]che, from Greek psukhe, soul].  The purpose is to facilitate the "healing of soul" (or psyche) in the form of helping a person rediscover and reconnect with meaning and deeper purpose in their life.

Transpersonal Astrology IS:
~ A powerful tool for knowing oneself better
~ An art and science of understanding consciousness
~ About helping people live fuller and healthier lives
~ About facilitating healing and providing direction, perspective and awareness

Transpersonal Astrology is NOT:
~ Based on faith or belief in things outside yourself
~ Pessimistic, deterministic, rigid or fatalistic
~ About predicting who a person is or what they will do
~ About predicting the future, imposing fate or limiting personal freedom
