Aspects of Self Astrology
The word “aham” (अहम्) in Sanskrit means “self” or “I”. The approach of AHAM ASTRO is therefore one in which the astrological planets (including the sun and moon) and their relationships represent various aspects of the one Self. That which is not realised is lived out as fate*, cautioned Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, and so with AHAM ASTRO the aim is to grow closer towards self awareness with the birth chart as our key map and navigational guide.
With AHAM ASTRO you can expect less predictive astrology and more astro coaching. Less soothsaying and more facilitation of looking inwards for the answers. Less anxiety about the future and more focused mindful awareness of the wisdom and answers we already have with us in the present. The ideal direction that your astro coach, Jaishree, is hoping for through the astro client-coach relationship, is for you to have more trust in yourself and the confidence that you can effectively navigate the future come what may.
*“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” - C. Jung
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT AS A CLIENT
Your first session with your astro coach will be at least two hours long and will need to be scheduled at least two days in advance. You will need to provide your date, time, and place of birth when you schedule your appointment. Let your astro coach know what it is that you are seeking guidance for. If you are looking for just a birth chart reading that is possible and you are welcome to dive deeper into the realm of astro coaching which may require a few more sessions.
Astro coaching will give you the time to examine areas in your life where you feel stuck, such as your close relationships, finances, or your health. Or perhaps there are repetitive patterns in your life and you would like to understand why they recur and how you might resolve and release them. The number of astro coaching sessions required can be discussed with your coach at the end of your first session, and a minimum of three sessions is suggested. No two readings are alike; within the Gestalt of the astro field your reading is unique to you and for you. Together, coach and client will attempt to discern the relationship between form, metaphor, and meaning.
YOUR ASTRO COACH
Your astro coach will be Ms. Jaishree Sellamuthu. Jaishree holds an MA in East-West Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies, San Francisco. Jaishree has studied with Richard Tarnas and uses his approach of archetypal astrology in her astrological readings. Archetypal astrology draws upon the depth psychology tradition of Carl Jung (as well as James Hillman, Stan Grof, and others); the study of the mystery that is the psyche and its dynamics with archetypal energies. Jaishree’s influences also include Rudolf Steiner’s study of life cycles, The Work of Byron Katie (www.thework.com), and Jaishree’s own life experiences having lived and travelled in several countries (east and west).
