Astro Grief COunselling

We all go through mourning periods and grief processes in life. Death, literal or metaphorical, is a part of life. Whether you’re grieving a lost loved one, the end of a relationship, the loss of a job or maybe even whole career, or even your own identity for whatever reason, if you don’t allow yourself to go through the phases of the grief process in a natural way, you’ll get stuck.
Because there truly is only one way to get to the other side when it comes to grief, and that is to go through it.
This world often demands that we focus on productivity, on forward momentum at all costs, and that we plaster on a happy face so as not to disturb others and ‘the way things are done’. We are encouraged to feel shame for experiencing pain or victimhood, or talents and interests we may have that don’t fit the norm.
Due to this, many people have a quite unhealthy, evasive relationship with grief, pain and any emotions that are viewed as ‘negative’.
With my Sun and Vesta conjunction in the 8th House (plus an exact opposition with Pluto) my strength lies in matters of the ‘Underworld’, in understanding, dealing with and embracing transformation, our shadows, grief processes and all other matters of ‘taboo’ subjects that our world likes to push into the darkness.
In my life I’ve undergone some very painful losses, trauma and transformative periods and through it all I’ve built up a very large reservoir of empathy and understanding for all the sidetracks our mind and feelings can take when we’re undergoing a ‘dark night of the Soul’.
Next to and also due to my lived experiences, I’ve educated myself in many fields and topics to do with coping with grief, mental health, trauma, abuse and personal development. And I am very good at both listening and holding space without judgement, and not letting whomever is in front of me in a counselling session give their responsibility and power over their own life away to circumstances, other people, or even me.
When you come to me for Astro grief counselling, I will listen without judgement, help you understand how grief works in general, and yours specifically. I will help you understand what you need to move through it.
I will also help you stop hiding from your feelings of doom, helplessness and victimhood in order for you to re-empower yourself so that you understand that while bad things can happen to anyone, you are the one in control of your life.
When grieving, whether it’s a person, a situation, a place, a purpose, anything really, there are some more or less universal parts to it. When mourning we all go through the stages of denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.
We can’t skip them, and we don’t go through them in a linear way. Even when we think we’ve reached acceptance, a new stage of life, new information, the arrival of a new person in our lives, can re-start the process on a deeper level. And that’s okay. Because grieving helps us grow. It helps us embrace our humanity, which is a precious thing in this world.
When it comes to your uniqueness however, we can look to your birth chart to see how you experience the mourning process and its stages and what you need to go through them in a way that is most healthy for you.
In your astrology chart there are several indicators that point to how you experience grief, how you deal with it and what you need to give it its proper place in your life so that you may move through it.
It makes a difference whether you have a Water Moon that needs to be able to cry and wallow or whether you have an Air Moon that needs to be able to talk your way through what happened.
What sign rules your 8th and 12th House shows how you move through your personal Underworld.
And what sign rules your 6th House can give insight into whether and what rituals you need to bring you solace in daily life while you’re going through this transformative time in your life.
All of this and more, I will look at to help you go through this period in your life.
Have you recently had a loved one pass away, did your relationship or friendship end, have you lost your job and now don’t know who you are without it, were you in an abusive or otherwise toxic relationship, or in some other way feel lost?
Do you want to know what this means in the grand scheme of things in your life? Do you feel stuck? Do you need guidance as to how your energy needs to move through this time. Are you filled with questions?
Together we’ll find your way through it.

Astro grief counselling can only be booked as interactive sessions at my studio in Wahlwiller or if we live close to each other, at your home. Always leave room for going over the allotted time, it really depends on the flow of conversation whether we’ll be done in 2.5 hours. Also make sure you have time to let yourself come down from the emotions that are stirred up during the session. Don’t plan any important things afterwards that require you to be cool and collected.
Bring your smartphone fully charged and make sure you have an audio recording app on it so you can record the session. This way you don’t have to worry about retaining all the information, you can just go back to the recording and re-digest it all.
Should there be any questions afterwards, you can email me anytime.
Astro grief counselling can be done in multiple sessions, should you feel the need for this. We will start with the first session, see what you need in terms of more sessions and go from there.
For any reading, I need your birth date, place of birth and exact time of birth. Exact time of birth is usually on your birth certificate, it’s best to use this, because parents often don’t remember the exact time of your birth, they were busy with more important things ;-)
