The title of this book, Dark
Skies, comes from the idea that during the day we are often blinded by the
metaphorical light of ego and self-interest. It is the
vast blackness of the night sky that allows us to peer more deeply into the
presence of the planetary deities that inhabit not only the heavens, but also
our internal world as portrayed in our astrology charts. Therapeutic
astrology is a vibrant branch within humanistic astrology, where we view
imaginal gods like Venus, goddess of love, Mars, god of war, and Pluto, lord of
the Underworld at play in our lives and discover what their claims may be upon
us. This sensitive collection of thought-provoking essays draws together much
of Brad Kochunas' work which has appeared online and in a wide variety of
publications. Astrologers working with clients on a therapeutic basis will find
much here to contemplate and to enrich their practice, while anyone with an
interest in the human psyche will be fascinated by the author's insights.
