Juliet Sharman-Burke – författare

If you are a first-time tarot user, BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO TAROT is for you. The Sharman-Caselli deck has been specially designed for the novice, with every card illustrated in clear and distinctive style, using imagery inspired by classic decks.

This is a reprint of the original CPA Press version. The two seminars in this volume, given by astrologers with extensive psychotherapeutic training as well as many years’ experience of astrological work, will be an enormous asset to any astrologer working in a counselling role. This book may also be disturbing to those astrologers who feel that reading the horoscope, because it seems “detached” and different from traditional psychotherapy, alleviates the astrologer of any personal responsibility for inner work. The real depth and richness of astrological work is presented here in an accessible but profound fashion, enlivened by the seminar format and relevant for anyone wishing to use astrology to work with others.

The two seminars in this volume present the complex astrology of family dynamics in a clear, insightful and sympathetic way. The stories of our familybackgrounds portrayed in the birth horoscope are also images of our own development and destiny, illuminated by the ancient and ever-living characters of myth. Parents are both patterns and modes of perception, and Juliet Sharman-Burke’s extensive experience as both a psychotherapist and an astrologer allows her to develop with great clarity and empathy the ways in which the past reveals itself in the present and the future, and how we can best express our family inheritance in creative rather than destructive ways. Part One explores the planets as parental significators, each with its accompanying myths, while Part Two examines the myths of the zodiac signs as they are expressed through our perception of our parents. Students of astrology will appreciate the practical and accessible manner in which profound themes are related to everyday life, while experienced astrological practitioners can benefit from the many insights into the fundamental importance of the parental images in the horoscope.
