"Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us."
David Richo

Our wounds often dwell in the unconscious, concealed beneath layers of fear, denial, shame, humiliation, self-loathing, and judgment. Healing takes place when we extend loving care to these parts of ourselves that consistently seek our attention.
A wound needs understanding, kindness, acceptance, and non-judgmental loving compassion. Astrology acts as a sacred map, guided by eternal archetypes, depicting our personal, social, and familial mythologies. Astrolgoy pierces the veil into the underworld of our deep unconscious resivor of unforgotten wisdom and knowledge.
The core of depth psychology is to explore what lies beyond our conscious mind. The unconscious is active, manifesting through our emotional wounds and emerging as repressed anxiety, frustration, anger, depression, rage, self-hatred, insecurities, diminished will and creativity, substance abuse, and personality disorders such as narcissism, co-dependency, bipolar disorder, and dissociative identity disorder, among others. Healing starts when we approach these original stories and myths, which contain unhealed wounds passed down through generations, with unconditional understanding, compassion, forgiveness, and self-acceptance.
Astrology offers a symbolic perspective on your personal sacred story, enhancing your awareness and providing timeless insights into the meaning and purpose within your unconscious reservoir of creative power, aiding personal transformation and self-actualization. Astrology is not fortune telling. It is an ancient study of the influence of the gods - the planets - in our lives and the generational inheritances of those influences over lifetimes.
Depth psychology delves into the “hidden” parts of a patient's mind to understand their behavioral patterns, interpersonal relationships, and inner stories. It is based on the idea that our subconscious influences our thoughts and actions. As a treatment method, depth psychology aims to uncover these underlying motivators and examine them consciously.
