The Role of Astrology in Psychology

Astrology is a universal language of energy.” – Stephen Arroyo

Ancient civilizations used astrology to track celestial cycles, guide agricultural rhythms, and contemplate the relationship between earthly life and the heavens. Yet in modern culture, astrology is often dismissed as superstition or pseudoscience—something placed in the same category as psychic hotlines or newspaper horoscopes. For many years, this cultural skepticism kept me from exploring something that quietly fascinated me.
