Brad Kochunas
The title of this book, Dark Skies, comes from the idea that during the day we are often blinded by the metaphorical light of ego and self-interest. It is the vast blackness of the night sky that allows us to peer more deeply into the presence of the planetary deities that inhabit not only the heavens, but also our internal world as portrayed in our astrology charts. Therapeutic astrology is a vibrant branch within humanistic astrology, where we view imaginal gods like Venus, goddess of love, Mars, god of war, and Pluto, lord of the Underworld at play in our lives and discover what their claims may be upon us. This sensitive collection of thought-provoking essays draws together much of Brad Kochunas’ work which has appeared online and in a wide variety of publications. Astrologers working with clients on a therapeutic basis will find much here to contemplate and to enrich their practice, while anyone with an interest in the human psyche will be fascinated by the author’s insights.
