Astrology Explained as a Tool for Personal Transformation by Author, Jim Sher, in New Book “Astrology as a Spiritual Path: Birth of the New Human”
A New Approach to Developing Full Expression and Authenticity in One's Lifeand Tosses Aside Astrology's History as a Predictive Mechanism
After spending 35 years as asocial worker and psychotherapist, Jim Sher, MSW, shares how a modern version of astrology uncovered the core drivers for 1000's of his clients in, “Astrology as a Spiritual Path: Birth of the New Human.” In his new book, Sher reveals the surprisingly contemporary use of astrological archetypes as a more mainstream tool without the cloying history of it being a predictive and unproven art. Available on Amazon for $22.00 for a paperback and $9.99 on Kindle, the book includes a history of modern psychology and various metaphysical traditions that when layered with Sher's use of astrology expands the possibilities of personal evolution.
In this guide to personal transformation, Sher shares his professional and personal journey, showing how a birth chart reveals our greatest potential. Intelligently and beautifully written, Sher does not proselytize but gives the reader the technology to help them make their own discoveries; a map toward their own unique purpose. Beyond explanations of our familiar Sun, Moon and rising signs, he provides characterizations of the outer planets such as Pluto, Uranus and Neptune, along with profiles of famous people that explain their influence.
“I grew up and spent much of my social work career in the Midwest, where mainstream psychology was behavior modifications and spiritual questions were left to religion,” explains the author. “But from a very young age, I craved more of our essence and explored many methodologies and traditions, such as depth psychology, transpersonal astrology and the works of Carl Jung, Sri Aurobindo, and Dane Rudhyar.”
“Frustrated by astrology's narrow focus on prediction,” Sher continues, “I was drawn to transpersonal astrology, that supports the development of individual uniqueness and deeper self-awareness. Through years of one-on-one work with clients, I developed my own approach, taught it and now am sharing it in a wider format. It is my hope that readers will learn how to use this tool in meaningful ways to enrich their own lives, as much as it has served me, my clients, and students since 2001.”
About:”Astrology as a Spiritual Path” reimagines the nature and purpose of astrology, unveiling a new methodology to discover one's true spiritual path and fulfill a unique destiny of their chart's archetypal blueprint. The book leads readers through important metaphysical and historical references as it explores existential questions such as fate and free will. Readers are empowered to become active, creative participants in their individuation process to ignite the fire within and embark on their own unique path.
