PSYCHOLOGICAL ASTROLOGY

Recent reactionary criticisms of psychological astrology show ignorance of what psychological interpretations of astrological factors have contributed to our field.As astrology has evolved from the deterministic, fatalistic paradigms of the Medieval Era, psychological astrology has contributed vast understanding of how to interpret options and variations in the possible manifestations of planetary energies.In its early period, psychological astrology was seen as the replacement for more empirical approaches; yet among most intelligent contemporary astrologers, it is seen as a valuable complementary component that has fleshed out astrological interpretation to make it more well-rounded and more valuable as a tool for providing clients options in the face of sometimes seemingly insurmountably fated situations.Psychology itself was ridiculed as a non-science by crass materialists as recently as the 19th century, yet it has risen to become one of the most valuable and widely-applied sciences in our society today.
