-
In this intriguing exploration of human relationship patterns, Clare Martin compares two hitherto unrelated approaches, to see what, if anything, they can offer each other. Astrology and personality theory share the recognition that we find ourselves in a world of duality and polarity, caught between opposites, and that all human experience takes place in the context of relationship. Clare suggests that the themes encountered through literature, theatre and films can extend and enhance our appreciation of human nature, with all its paradoxes and complexities, and it is here that these two approaches can find common ground. The stories we are drawn to - or repelled by - tell us more about ourselves. Using a variety of well-known stories with relationship themes at their core, Clare breathes life into the paradoxical themes of each axis in the birth chart, and each character style in personality theory. Recognising the stories in our own birth charts and in our character styles generates increased insight, psychic integration, flexibility, and greater acceptance of ourselves and others. Suitable for psychological astrologers and for anyone interested in developmental psychology.
