effectiveness of this method in the form in which I use it again and again. In consultations, women quickly relax when they hear that there are other people with similar charts who have the same problems, and they overcome them. They learn something new, make important choices. They gain faith in the order of things. They leave more prepared for their new roles, actions, reactions, ready for the events that may occur. Many began to develop a belief system that would ease the protracted end of a former life and help them rise above the pettiness of their always too human ego.

During our consultations, we came to the conclusion that life is not as meaningless and chaotic as it may seem when a person is confused, angry or depressed. Anger and depression can* be resisted, and what's more, there are ways to piece together the knowledge gained from such episodes. Life can be seen as a constant challenge to man and at the same time a gift. Life can be a rung up the ladder of reincarnation, where each step is taken for the sake of a step, each contains a lesson in love and relationships with others, each is accompanied by a struggle. Albert Einstein once said, "God does not play dice." Apparently, he believed in the same idea of ​​regularity, goal v. order of the universe and our life in it.

Perhaps the most important outcome of my consultations with patients was their perception of the value of change. Most of the people who came to see me suffered the consequences of shock or fear of future shock caused by a failed romance, illness, loss, fear of losing a job, having a child, moving to another city, marriage or divorce. Change is always perceived as a monster, or at least that's how they imagine it.

Behind the fear of change in most cases is ignorance or lack of self-confidence. While acknowledging this in conversation with patients, I shared with them my own fears, as well as the ways in which I overcame these fears. I suggested that they make a Risk List so that they could see for themselves how often they took risks and succeeded. The list of risks has become one of the most popular exercises in my work with patients (see "Taurus Relationships").

I believe that change is natural and, in the long run, most likely beneficial to the individual. How we deal with them determines the quality of our lives. I asked those who came to see me what they feared most, and it usually turned out to be something they could live with.

Another stumbling block is self-esteem. In workshops, I gave patients a list of books to read and discussed various options with them. I advised them on how to improve their own self-image, how to make their body language more effective. I gave patients materials and practical exercises on communication skills, including sexual communication. I built their confidence by pointing out the wealth and good data of their charts, reminding them of the wisdom they have accumulated over the course of their lives. I was able to help most of them at least recognize, if not immediately chosen, the path they would take to shed the fears that held them back. I achieved all this with the help of psychoastrology. Almost everything I taught and everything I learned from my patients in my ten years of psychotherapeutic practice is included in this book.

Let me tell you a little about the book Sex and Astrology. This is a psychoastrological guide for women to realize their potential, maintain health and achieve happiness. This book, addressed primarily to women, delves into the hidden world of female psychology, sexuality, anger, fear, guilt, power struggles, and changing needs. She teaches readers how to find love. Love is not about finding the right person, but about becoming one yourself. "Sex and Astrology" rejects predestination and destiny, as well as strict adherence to the characteristics of sun signs ^

Sex and Astrology is a breakthrough book, a vibrant, unique union of astrology, psychology and female sexuality. She addresses the most essential question for women: how to develop self-knowledge, tune in to the universal planetary rhythms that affect her, how to get the key to love and strength. The only thing not included in the book are individual predictions. Each person has his own unique chart, but such an analysis is not included in the considered here is a range of questions.

Instead, I came up with a way to pick up the relevant individual information and compress it into a single psycho-astrological portraits. In this book you will find thirteen different descriptions of the types of women, twelve of them correspond to the signs of the Zodiac, plus one more, the Cosmic Woman - a woman who has absorbed everything. The reader may first read the chapter that pertains to her solar sign. Or she can read the list of thirty-five characteristics - this list is placed at the beginning of each chapter - and choose for herself the one that best describes her, regardless of whether it matches her sign.

These days, almost every book on astrology is based solely on the sun signs. At parties, you can often hear: “Hi, what sign are you? I am a lion". But for many years now, women have come to me and said: “I have read descriptions of Leo, Virgo, Libra, etc. It does not suit me. Is there something wrong with me?" My response is a resounding "It's okay." Sun signs rarely work. They are too simplistic and generalized to provide important information or make real predictions. Nor do they offer a way to get out of the rut of a supposedly settled character.

The main reason why I set the book on mixed psychological portraits, and not on sun signs (or lunar, or other specific planetary influences), is that, in my opinion, women should free themselves from the point of view of the solar sign, like a carved stone character.

The Gemini reader may recognize herself in the description of Aries. Should she dismiss the information, scratch her head in thought, or sign up for the "bad" Gemini? Once again I say: the ever-changing choice of defining herself in the present and in the future belongs to her. I don't want women to be tied to the hard stereotyped thinking promoted by sun sign enthusiasts.

The reader does not need to understand astrology to understand this book. Her role model, regardless of her sun sign, could be an Aries Woman, a Gemini Woman, or a Pisces Woman - that's up to her to decide. And as I explain later in this chapter (see “Phases”), she may find herself going through a phase that accurately describes her character, while like a few years ago she was a completely different person. Her old self is perhaps described in another chapter.

WHAT EXACTLY IS PSYCHOASTROLOGY

Astrology is an ancient method of studying changing patterns and cycles. Its boundaries overlap the vast system of metaphysics. Psychoastrology brings together the ancient wisdom of astrology and modern knowledge in the field of psychology, and I am convinced that it is a dynamic, productive way to explore and understand human nature. It is food for the inquisitive mind, an aid in the process of self-discovery and the study of how communication takes place, an excellent guide to the cycles, to the treasures hidden in the depths of the human soul, a guide to managing the intertwined energies that always surround us and influence our lives.

I use psychoastrology as a creative way to tune into and connect with people. This helps me direct my intuition in the right direction, combine into a coherent system what I observed, experienced, studied, felt; it gives the astrological language a modern sound. Psychoastrology is also a kind of personal bridge for me. The psychoastrological method allowed me to expand humanistic, academic psychology to the psychic boundaries of a new type of astrology. Psychoastrology made me apply, calibrate and eventually trust my intuition as much as my logical reason.

In Sex and Astrology, I use psychoastrology as a barometer to measure a woman's fluid, fluid developmental cycles. Through her, I am trying to promote a woman's recognition of the responsibility for self-realization, both in relation to herself and in relation to others. In general, I hope to convey to the reader my experience of working with those branches of knowledge that I use as a psychotherapist, the experience of their application in my own life;

PSYCHOASTROLOGY - FOR WHOM?

The book "Sex and Astrology" is addressed to women who want to get to know their psychosocial-sexual "I" better, to realize the prohibitions that live in them and reduce their influence or completely eliminate them, give and receive love and pleasure. They will discover here invaluable insights that illuminate the depth of the individual. They will receive advice, inspiration, information, support, encouragement, encouragement on leadership, a source of accelerating their development.

If the key to life is love, then the key to romance and marriage is sexual intercourse. Human sexuality is the most important component of romantic love. We express our sexuality in ways that we have been taught by our parents, peers and society. We perceive sexuality, for example, primarily as a genital interaction. In fact, almost every piece of social communication involves some kind of sexual response.

Sexual energy is an inherently natural and healthy force. It is the joy of being, the urge to establish connections, to communicate with the participation of feeling and to live with meaning. We all have the ability to experience
