Holotropic Healing with Astrology and Psychedellics

Astrology has been practiced for thousands of years as a tool for self-discovery, insight, and healing. Today, it is being integrated into a wide range of modern healing modalities, including plant medicine (psychedelic) work, to help individuals overcome trauma, addiction, and anxiety, and to deepen their spiritual journeys. My own work draws upon a combination of archetypal, evolutionary, and Hellenistic astrology, supporting clients who seek these transformative experiences.

Note: In addition to my longstanding astrological practice, I also guide clients in microdosing regimens—remotely and in person—helping them set intentions, navigate their experiences, and integrate insights. I do not supply the substances themselves; my role is to offer guidance on mindful and intentional use, in accordance with the laws and regulations of your area. Always consult legal, medical, and therapeutic professionals when needed.

1. Astrology and Psychedelic Therapy

Psychedelic therapy involves the use of psychoactive substances—such as psilocybin mushrooms, LSD, or ayahuasca—to help individuals address emotional and psychological challenges. When combined with astrology, this approach can provide deeper insights into a person’s innate patterns and tendencies.

2. Guiding Clients with Microdosing

Over time, I have refined my approach to guiding clients in structured microdosing regimens, leveraging astrology to tailor each person’s journey. These protocols can be successfully practiced at home, with remote astrological sessions that offer:

Disclaimer: The legal status of psychedelic substances can vary by region. Please ensure you understand local regulations. If you have underlying health conditions or concerns, consult medical professionals as needed.

3. Depth Psychology and Jungian Insights

Carl Jung’s concept of archetypes—universal symbols found in myth, religion, and culture—dovetails naturally with astrological symbolism. Jung observed that planetary energies resemble these archetypal themes, reflecting deep patterns in the psyche.

Unconscious Exploration: Saturn, for instance, may signify structure and responsibility, while Pluto can represent transformation and power. Understanding these energies illuminates the unconscious material revealed during psychedelic or microdosing sessions.

Collective and Personal Cycles: Jung posited that our personal unconscious intersects with a collective unconscious. Astrology aligns with this, using planetary cycles as mirrors for both individual and shared human experiences.

4. Influences of Tarnas and Grof

Contemporary scholars such as Richard Tarnas and Stanislav Grof offer further validation for combining astrology and psychology:

Their contributions underscore how astrology can deepen the transformative effects of psychedelic states, allowing clients to contextualize their experiences within broader cosmic and archetypal frameworks.

5. Transpersonal Planets (Chiron, Pluto, Uranus)

Certain celestial bodies hold special relevance in therapy and transformation:

Focusing on these transpersonal planets while engaging in plant medicine practices, including microdosing, can offer powerful opportunities for self-discovery and inner alchemy.

6. Ancient Astrology Meets the Modern Mind

Hellenistic astrology, developed in ancient Greece and Rome, highlights two concepts vital for contemporary healing:

Fate and Free Will

While a birth chart outlines certain predispositions or potential destinies, individuals maintain the agency to shape their own paths. This is both humbling and empowering for those confronting addiction or trauma.

Deep Self-Reflection

By examining natal placements, one can identify hidden motivations, strengths, and vulnerabilities—crucial insights for personal development and transformational work.

7. Plant Medicine and Astrological Timing

Psychedelic substances like ayahuasca and psilocybin often facilitate emotional catharsis and spiritual epiphanies. Astrology can further refine these experiences by:

8. Evolutionary Astrology in Personal Growth

While my primary practice focuses on Hellenistic Astrology, I have studied Evolutionary Astrology for over 4 year and does have a way of integrating seamlessly with therapeutic approaches:

Karmic and Soul Perspectives: This school focuses on the soul’s journey and the lessons carried from lifetime to lifetime, illuminating recurring patterns or obstacles.

Practical Application: Tracking current transits and progressions provides guidance on which life phases or relationships are ripe for deeper healing.

9. How I Support Your Healing Journey

My practice weaves together archetypal, evolutionary, and Hellenistic astrology to support individuals exploring plant medicine—whether through microdosing or more immersive experiences. Drawing on my years of professional experience in guiding clients, as well as my own personal work with these modalities, I can assist you in:

Conclusion

Blending astrology with plant medicine and depth psychology opens a gateway to profound healing and greater self-awareness. By recognizing patterns linked to transpersonal planets, timing key experiences with supportive astrological transits, and anchoring insights through integration work, we foster a synergy between ancient wisdom and modern therapeutic approaches. This integrative method helps you uncover unconscious patterns, release old traumas, and ultimately embrace a more expansive, empowered sense of self.
