Where Astrology and
Psychology Meet
~ Gwilda Wiyaka ~
There is something that tends to hold true, regardless
of the area of study. If a concept can be found across cultures and ages, it
probably has some basis in fact. If, on the other hand, it cannot be found
anywhere else, it’s probably just someone’s latest greatest idea, warranting a
fair amount of skepticism.
One thing that can be found cross culturally and
across time is the concept of the positioning of the stars in the heavens
having a profound influence upon human characteristics and behavior.
In the history of most every culture, there is some
form of astrology, a practice used to ascertain personality characteristics,
based upon the position of the stars at the time of birth, and to predict
future events.
These same systems often include reference to a
person’s dominant element: water, air earth or fire. Some practices include
wood and metal.
If these systems are indeed sound, and can divine
basic information about our psychological makeup, can they be useful in
understanding ourselves and others?
Is taking one’s sign and/or element into consideration
valid, or is it simply imposing inaccurate stereotypical identities, in order
to categorize people in predictable boxes?
There is a lot of conflicting information about the
signs of the horoscope and what they indicate. Even if the original practice
was valid, how do we know what to believe and how to apply it today?
Hopefully, our guest this hour can help us puzzle
through the confusing, and often conflicting, information regarding astrology,
the elements and how they relate to the human psyche.

Element.” She has helped thousands of
individuals achieve emotional health and wisdom based on their unique
