Episode Details

MUST HEAR for Therapeutic Astrologers!! I am most honored to be with astrologer, author, and teacher Mark Jones in this chapter of TAP. We talk about combining therapy and astrology (of course!!) and we go into topics such as:

-Not leaving astrology to spacy intuition

-People embodying collective historical importance

-Has Astrology shaped psychology?

-Chart reading as an organic proces with listening for the clients real lives

- Dane Rudhyar and Jeffrey Wolf Green 

- Materialist scientific culture blocking astrological healing work

-The levels of energy fields, both collective and individual.

- Those who are catalysts of collective evolution

- The narrow focus on medication, which often overlooks the deeper meanings behind symptoms.

Mark shares an example of a physiotherapist who was ridiculed for linking back pain to stress. In therapeutic astrology, we strive for a deeper understanding of what causes psychological problems and include soul memory as we help clients heal. Mark also mentions his interpretation of Uranus as the non-linear mind where traumatic memory can be held. The south node of Uranus then relates to the origin of that trauma as well as the person's attempts to individuate.

I titled this episode after his most recent book (The Planetary Nodes and Collective Evolution) and the segment in the book we discuss mostly: Depth Psychology and Science
