Although directed at the counseling astrologer, this book summarizes the relevant research about effective counseling and could be used by healers from fields other than astrology. Healing with the Horoscope has three sections: (1) left-brain oriented material which gives information, references, and key concepts for enhancing one's interactions with clients--minimizing anxieties, fears, inadequacies, and stife. Examples and illustrations are provided. (2) right-brain oriented exercises to stimulate understanding on more intuitive and experiential levels (3) a sample astrological consultation
Throughout, the point is made that counseling is a two-way street. We are affected by every client. Honing our skills is valuable for us, not just our clients. The better we understand our interpersonal interactions, the happier we-- as well as our clients--can become.
