This book brings together the disciplines of astrology and psychology in a startlingly original way. Instead of a "patient" gloomily working out his or her issues in isolation, the astrological dimension provides a focus and direction to the therapeutic process that guides a person towards his or her specific calling in life.
Offering a new, radical, readable, and inspiring method for aligning one's personality with one's calling, the authors, a psychotherapist and an astrologer, develop practical methods of discovering an individual's calling in life. The reader will discover whether his or her life is on or off track with this particular calling and reinvigorate their relationships at the same time.
I was already into the idea that there is significant overlap between our astrological charts and the psychological struggles we face throughout our lives. So I was excited to find this book with two professionals in these fields sharing their input. I found it interesting, helpful, and validating. I do wish that these was more in-depth suggestion for the various node placements, since Hillman placed such deep importance in that. I also wish Spencer shared more therapeutic suggestions for moving forward with certain placement challenges.
