Emotional Healing with Astrology

To have the kind of life we want in the present, we must heal our memories of and attachments to the past.

Astrology offers a vocabulary for and means to heal whatever we’re carrying from the past into our lives in the present day.

Evolutionary astrology is based in the fact that people change, over the course of a life and over the courses of many lives. One of its aims is to help people heal and release the past and gain awareness of the present, so they can choose to develop the kinds of lives they’d rather be living. 

No one wants to relive the pain of the past, yet we don’t often have the awareness to heal it and put it in its proper place and move in the present.  We end up, then, reliving what’s comfortable, which is often painful, and wondering how to move out of these destructive patterns that keep us from enjoying life and being happy about what we’re doing here.

Some key players in the emotional healing process:

1. The South Node of the Moon, the ruler of that node by sign (Venus for Taurus, Jupiter for Sagittarius, etc.) and Pluto (all three players by house, sign and aspect) offer the vocabulary for any person’s emotional imprinting from past lives. These configurations speak to our past-life conditioning and wounding. Identifying and integrating the lessons we’ve set ourselves up to learn, as told by these symbols, is a key to beginning to live in the present moment and move into the arenas of our unique syllabus of soul growth.
2. The asteroid Lucifer (1930) tells us about a person’s relationship with the notion of a higher power. What’s a person’s relationship with what could be called his or her inner goodness barometer? Another side of it: Has the person learned how to develop a healthy, distinct sense of ego while serving something greater than the self?
3. The true Black Moon Lilith (BML) represents the instinctive, primal & wild part of us we’ve experienced shame and punishment from others for expressing. As the empty focus of the Moon’s orbit around the earth, the true BML is a part of our emotional makeup. As a point that’s never visible from the Earth, however, it often seems an elusive part of us, usually seeming best left in the shadows of our psyches. Locating and reintegrating our hard-wired portion of Lilith energy means finding creative and constructive means to express our wildness, based on house, sign and aspect.

   Hi
   I came across your site today and I’ve been blown away by the information and insights you are sharing. I’m a real novice with astrology, so I know very little, but I’ve always felt intrigued by the idea of finding out about past life / karma in astrology. I find in my own life there are things that I can surely only put down to past life. I’ve just seen, courtesy of astro.com, that my Lilith is in 6th house in Scorpio - now I need to figure out just what that means
   I really feel that I’m on a mission in my life right now to rid myself of ‘old patterns’ and those ingrained habits and beliefs that no longer serve me. So what I’m trying to say is ‘Thanks’ for sharing so much of yourself in your words here

   Namaste
   Rae
