Intersection of Ancient Astrology and Modern Mind

Intersection of Ancient Astrology and Modern Mind

Recently, there has been a resurgence of interest in Hellenistic astrology, which was developed in the Hellenistic period (3rd century BCE to 1st century CE) in ancient Greece and Rome. Hellenistic astrology emphasizes the use of astrology as a tool for personal growth and self-discovery, and its principles and techniques are well-suited for use in therapy for trauma, addiction, and anxiety.

One of the key principles of Hellenistic astrology is the concept of fate vs. free will. Hellenistic astrologers believed that astrology could reveal one's potential destiny, but that individuals also had the ability to choose their own path and shape their own destiny. This perspective can be particularly useful in therapy for trauma, addiction, and anxiety, as it can help individuals understand the unconscious patterns and tendencies that may contribute to these issues, but also empower them to make positive changes in their lives.

Hellenistic astrology also emphasizes the use of astrology as a tool for self-reflection and self-discovery. By examining their birth chart, individuals can gain insight into their strengths and weaknesses, their unconscious motivations and tendencies, and the areas of their lives where they may need to make positive changes. This self-reflection and self-discovery can be a valuable tool in therapy for trauma, addiction, and anxiety, as it can help individuals gain a deeper understanding of their unconscious patterns and tendencies and work towards integration and transformation.

I have studied Hellenistic astrology with Adam Elenbass who originally came to astrology through his own practice of ayahuasca. Elenbass has asserted that astrology can be a valuable tool in helping individuals understand and heal from past traumas. 

My approach is to explore the astrological influences present at the time of a traumatic event, as these influences can provide important insights into the unconscious patterns and tendencies that may have contributed to the trauma.
