Today’s subscriber edition of Planet Waves Astrology News is about the idea of self-actualization — well, not just the idea, the reality. [Subscribers can access the new issue here<\/strong><\/a>.] Astrologically, the article interprets the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Aries, which happens in a few weeks. I use the tool of psychology to explain what this aspect is about. Self-actualization is a term that comes out of the Gestalt therapy movement, one of the most useful therapy processes that exists.<\/p>\n

The term ‘self-actualization’ was put into popular use by a psychologist named Abraham Maslow. Considered one of the great 20th centiry psychologists, Maslow emphasized the innate curiosity<\/em> in humans (which is true for nearly every other animal, by the way). He honored self-actualization as a drive or motivation that he believed fueled all our other endeavors. For him, it was the prime mover — this, not survival. Maslow’s concept was about embracing human potential, and he was one of the fathers of a movement by that name.<\/p>\n

The Jupiter-Uranus conjunction is all about self-actualization. This astrology is sending a wave of awakening and consciousness through the biosphere and our shared psychic environment. My article concludes with a list of 11 action points you can work with to make the most of this astrology.<\/p>\n

I’ve prepared an audio segment describing the edition<\/a><\/strong> and the process of how we put it together. And here is a sample of the issue<\/a><\/strong>. The full edition includes all 12 of my weekly horoscope interpretations, and an article by Judith Gayle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
