What is Psychological Astrology?

Psychological Astrology is Light years beyond fairground ‘fortune telling’ and is a complex recognised Discipline – that combines the language and insights of Modern Depth Psychology with information gained from a symbolic inner map –Your birth chart–

To form an accurate useful ‘Cosmic Blueprint’ of you and your journey. Unlike your ‘Star sign’ which is a generalised interpretation based solely on the position of the Sun when you were born-your complete Birth Chart is a complete map of the heavens drawn for the exact moment & location of your birth.

It is unique; because even if you share similar birth details with another, how you choose to live that potential is unique to you.

We’re all familiar with our Sun sign or ‘Star Sign’ which in Psychological Astrology is not a set pattern of behaviour; but rather describes your conscious goals (Prime Directive) and the qualities & archetype you identify with, aspire to, and strive towards. Basically what you want –  Who you want to be and my opinion – Who you are on the Hero’s Journey toward BECOMING.

However, not many of us know our Moon sign, which describes our Emotional Nature required Fuel, Feelings, instinctual behaviour, unconscious private side, and Past.

Essentially what you Need and the qualities & attributes you already Possess, Mastered & Manifest.
Both these placements are equally important factors in your complete Birth Map.
Which is a map of the entire heavens drawn from the exact moment and location of your birth. 

Although a full personal exploration of your Birth Map and the unique way you choose to live it’s potential is invaluable; an examination of your personal Sun/ Moon combination which along with your Rising Sign or Ascendant form the ‘ bedrock’ of your map. And can still provide a fascinating outline of your basic mental and emotional make-up.

Your Rising Sign (Ascendant) precisely calculated from your exact time of Birth offers a more specific insight into your Outer Personality, obvious characteristics, mannerisms, approach & initial attitude & First impression. Hence the irritating futility of asking a Professional Astrologer to “Guess my Sign” lol!

Your Rising Sign Modifies the Expression of your core wants, needs & mental outlook.
It can also describe your childhood environment, Birth Experience & consequently the way you start new ventures, project yourself into the World & choose to appear.

The Ascendant is a kind of Lens through which you Filter or view your life experiences- The Mask you adopt to meet the world. The Front Door that may or may not reflect your true nature.

With considerations for Tribal Phenotype & Hereditary factors your Rising Sign can also describe your Physical Appearance to an extent.
A proper Holistic understanding of your Ascendant provides invaluable insight into resolving any dilemmas between what you actually want & the manner in which you pursue & express those desires.
