Astrology and Healing Trauma
Using Your Birth Chart in the Journey Toward Recovery
The book
A practical guide to the relationship between personal history, astrological cycles, spiritual identity, and body-based inquiry.
Robert Allen Pittman and Karen Beth Wilson combine decades of research in astrology, somatics, and spiritual psychology. The book invites readers to construct a life timeline, compare it with the natal chart, and examine the patterns that repeat across childhood, ancestry, relationships, and periods of transition.
Its central tool, the Congruency Process, asks how inner truth and outward expression can be brought into better alignment. The accompanying practices include breath, guided self-inquiry, mirror work, and body-based attention.
