What is astropsychology?
Thanks for asking.
Regular listeners will remember how astrology has undergone somewhat of a revival in recent years.
Knowledge of terms like Saturn return and retrograde Mercury is now actually pretty common, in particular among young people.
While the topic of today's episode actually blends astrology with the modern insights of psychology, the idea behind astropsychology is that the positions and movements of celestial bodies, such as planets and stars, can influence human behaviour, emotions and personality traits.
It's a personal development discipline which has been gaining in popularity for a while now.
Where does astropsychology come from?
Like many other esoteric disciplines, Astro Coaching grew significantly in popularity through social media, especially on TikTok, where the hashtag has 166 million views at the time of recording.
The Astro Coach hashtag also has 1.5 million views.
This is evidence of growing interest in this new form of guidance.
However, in reality, astro-coaching has been around for a long time.
According to Refinery29com, astropsychology is based in part on the theories of early 20th century Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung.
Through his work, he identified a number of archetypes, which are universal symbols or patterns that are present in our collective unconscious and shape our beliefs and feelings.
Some examples of these themes are hate, love, fatherhood and motherhood.
Jung's models are a central thread in astropsychology.
What happens when you go to see an astropsychologist?
Unlike traditional psychotherapy, people who consult astro coaches do not necessarily come with a specific issue.
Practitioners base their assessments and readings off their client's birth charts.
That's determined by the day, time and location of your birth.
It outlines the positions of celestial bodies at the moment you are born.
Astropsychology looks at the different facets of each person's personality to offer therapeutic guidance.
Sessions often involve discussions about life experiences and challenges.
The astropsychologist combines astrological insights with psychological principles to help you better understand yourself and navigate life's complexities.
The goal is to find a balance between the various archetypes.
Bear in mind that astropsychology is not a substitute for traditional therapy, but rather a complementary approach to gaining self-awareness.
How can I be sure it's not a scam?
Astrology is not a science, it's a belief.
And like in many fields, astropsychology can have its share of genuine practitioners and charlatans.
To understand whether an astropsychologist has appropriate credentials, you should check whether they have formal training in both astrology and psychology.
What's more, they should be able to explain their qualifications and approach clearly.
Don't hesitate to look up online reviews too, as long as they come from a credible source.
There you have it.
