An astrological analysis of the dynamics of all kinds of relationships, and the needs of the individual as revealed in the astrological natal chart.
More people consult astrologers about relationship problems than any other single issue. In Astrology and Relationships, Mary Devlin helps you understand your relationships from a variety of astrological perspectives.
First, Devlin considers the relationship needs of the individual as revealed in the birth chart. Next, she analyzes parent/child relationships - where it all begins. Finally, she examines love, romance, sex, marriage and friendship in depth. Using Carl Jung's concept of anima and animus, she provides insights into the "inner partner" by comparing unconscious archetypes to gods and goddesses - our male/female ideals.
Devlin delineates the planets, signs, houses and aspects in terms of relationships and shows you how to interpret these astrological components in your own chart and your partner's as well as in chart comparisons. Drawing on her many years of experience in astrological counseling, Devlin also includes case histories and past-life information in this thorough study of interpersonal relationships.
Excerpt
"aAl your relationships throughout life are colored in some way by the relationship you had with your parents. Some psychoanalysts maintain that no matter whether you are male or female, all your relationships with men are influenced by the relationship you had with your father . . . In my experience, this holds true most of the time." (Page 20.)
