What is Psychological Astrology?

Definition

Psychological Astrology is a study of astrology focusing on psychological dynamics as represented by the chart archetypes which are universally repeating patterns. The individual’s birth chart is considered a symbolic representation of a person’s psyche as well as their potential for creative manifestation in life.

From an astrological chart, you can understand an individual’s personality and psychological make-up; you can understand their core needs, desires, and deep seated fears, as well as their natural talents and limitations. You can see life lessons embedded in the chart; there are different energies and challenges which, when integrated, allow the person to function in a healthy manner, from their source, and at their highest potential.
