It goes without saying that personal development necessarily involves psycho-emotional maturation and that this maturation is usually greatly helped by professional support, whether in counseling or psychotherapy. Practically everyone knows this. What not everyone knows is that Astrology can offer the person and those accompanying them a detailed therapeutic path through their inner self.

What is important for the psychotherapist is to have useful information about the unconscious contents and dynamics of the person they are treating, so that, even if they do not understand anything about Astrology, they can work with the person themselves, in the office, on developing potential or overcoming conflicts associated with these contents and dynamics.

So, throughout this book I will clarify why and how Astrology can benefit any type of psychotherapeutic or counseling care, whether cognitive, Freudian, Gestalt, Jungian, psychodramatist, Reichian, Rogerian or transpersonalist, in addition to possible mixtures between these and other theoretical strands and practical ways of conducting psychotherapy dynamics, as it offers to the person and the professional who accompanies or will accompany them a detailed description of the unconscious dynamics of the person being treated and the most likely biographical factors causing these dynamics, arranged as unconscious complexes.

What I will present here is largely based on the work of Carl Jung and strictly within the contours of what he theorized, without adopting “re-readings” of his work, as has occurred and sometimes disfigures his thought, especially when one tries to add to what he elaborated notions that are more typical of Neoplatonism (such as the existence of an Anima Mundi, "Soul of the world") or come from philosophical productions and systems of thought originating from the Indian subcontinent (Buddhism, Hinduism, etc.).
