(11) RELIVING CHILDHOOD & RESOLVING THE PARENTAL ISSUE.
This can be very, very important in psychotherapy, and astrologers can also help
with that because the chart can show the likely interaction with the parents (4th
house/Moon/Cancer, 10 th house/Saturn/Capricorn). I do take the asteroid Ceres as a key
to the mother figure.
I go into this especially if I see the person is identified with one parent which you
can see with any form of Letter One connected to any form of Letter Four or Ten. So that
can mean Mars in the 4th or 10th, or any ruler of the 1st house there, or a ruler of the 4th
and 10th in the 1st house, or Ceres/Moon/Saturn in the 1st, etc. The main thing is
being aware of it. If we're aware that we are compulsively having to be like the parent or
opposite of the parent, then we can do something about it.
Secondly, when the parental theme is connected to the partnership area, it is
important for them to be aware of this--that they are not unconsciously playing parent to
a partner or having partner play parent to them, or to take turns, etc. In working out the
parental issue, remember you don't have to deal with the real parents, or talk with
them. What you have to work out is your own feelings about it, your own reactions. Be
able to release and let go--both parents and yourself--and go on to make a new start.
(12) DEVELOPMENT OF A LIFE PURPOSE.
This is really important, and this is again where astrology can be so helpful
because we can see in the chart what a person idealizes. Letters Nine and Twelve in the
Chart (Jupiter/Sagittarius/9th house, Neptune/Pisces/12th houses) shows what we are
looking for, expecting, hold as an ideal. And we need to make sure that we are not too
narrowly focusing it, turning a fragment of life into an idolatry. Letters Nine & Twelve
show that sense of what I believe in, trust and value, and where I can find an ideal or
direction to follow.
Here is where astrology is ahead of psychology. Many psychologists cannot deal
with this at all. They cannot even accept that there could be anything beyond this
material world, and they end up pretty hedonistic.
So a clear sense of goal directedness and some kind of faith in a "higher power" is
a necessary part of a fulfilling life [value fulfillment]. If we either have set our goals at a
level we cannot reach, or we are not clear of what we want, or we are not enjoying the
journey and getting satisfaction from the small steps along the way, then we're going to
feel pretty frustrated. And suicide, for instance, is a person who has given up the hope of
this life getting any better. Lack of faith. So when we see clients as an astrologer or
counselor, we need to leave them with hope or faith that their life can get better,
that they can do something to make life better.
[Question: "Is there a method or organization that you would
recommend?"]
Psycho-synthesis is trustworthy. Or next to that, gestalt or TA are usually pretty
helpful. Avoid Freudian analysis! Look for a humanistic psychotherapist in general.
The trouble with Jungian is that it goes on forever, and it frequently doesn't really deal
