ASTROLOGICAL COUNSELING
WHAT IS ASTROLOGICAL COUNSELING?
Sarah Klein is an Astrologer, Transpersonal Counselor and Art Therapist. She has a degree in Transpersonal Counseling with an emphasis in Art Therapy from Naropa University. In addition to her other modalities, Sarah offers astrological counseling, integrating her training as a counselor with her knowledge of astrology. Getting a birthchart or transit reading is an exploration of your soul and experience, helping guide you to find meaning and direction.
Astrological Counseling combines traditional astrological knowledge and techniques within the container of a therapeutic counseling relationship. Significant and sometimes challenging themes and content come out of astrology readings -- with a trained counselor clients can more fully and safely integrate this information toward growth and healing.
The Association for Psychological Astrology writes, "The synthesis of psychology and astrology makes possible both a differentiated understanding of personality, and an integration and restructuring of the whole person. The creative energies of the personality are liberated and the person, taking initiative and responsibility for himself, begins to rearrange and restructure his life."
Sarah looks at the birthchart as a blueprint pointing to potential areas of growth and challenge in your current life. A session with Sarah might include looking at your chart together, deep discussion of future goals and blockages, and exploring relevant archetypes and themes through discussion, art, or sandtray images.
For first time clients, Sarah charges one $135 fee covering the two initial sessions. The first session will allow for time to discuss your goals and questions, and to get to know each other. Sarah will go over what a birth chart looks like, and how it can be useful to you over time. The second session will be a more in-depth look at your personal chart and themes occurring in your life. Subsequent sessions are $100 for a 60-minute session and can be scheduled as needed.
If you would like to schedule an astrology session with Sarah, please send an email to Sarah@OpenMindHolistics.com with your birth date, birth time (as exact as possible), and birth location, and your availability for sessions.

"The intensification of a person's self-awareness: in astrology that is all that matters." - Steven Forrest
WHY COMBINE ASTROLOGY WITH COUNSELING?
Astrology readings always bring up therapeutic material. This includes relationship challenges, childhood experience, emotional trauma, oppression, life purpose, and existential concern. Adding the container of counseling to the process of a reading can create space to explore and integrate this material more effectively and safely.
CAN I JUST GET ONE READING?
Yes of course! Clients decide how often they receive readings. Some clients choose to do a new year or birthday reading annually. Other people choose to work more in depth with weekly, monthly, or quarterly sessions. The first reading will always be a two-part meeting to allow for an intake, but after this astrology sessions are on an as-needed basis.

WILL ASTROLOGICAL COUNSELING PREDICT MY FUTURE?
Astrological counseling is more a tool for self-understanding than for divining the future. Sarah's understanding stems from the premise that our futures are not fixed, and that it is how we respond to negative experience that defines our growth. While astrology provides tools for looking ahead, the aim is more on reflecting on where you've been, how you are growing, and where you can focus to reach your fullest potential, especially against adversity.
HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM TRANSPERSONAL COUNSELING?
If you are receiving astrological counseling, the counseling component will be from a transpersonal lens. However, if you decide only to have transpersonal counseling sessions, astrology will not be included unless requested. Sarah only recommends astrological counseling when therapeutically appropriate.
