What Is Psychoastrology®?

Ever wonder why some struggles follow you, no matter how hard you work to change them? Psychoastrology® offers a fresh answer: it blends the rich symbolism of astrology—think planetary placements and cosmic archetypes—with the grounded insights of modern psychotherapy.

At its core, psychoastrology® is about understanding what makes you tick: your thought patterns, emotional triggers, and those deep-seated "core wounds" that color your experiences. Developed by Lisa Tahir, LCSW, and rooted in both Jungian and humanistic psychology, this approach uses your unique astrology chart as a key to unlock healing.

Core Wounds — What Are They, And Where Do They Come From?

Let’s get clear: “core wounds” are those persistent emotional patterns and limiting beliefs that seem to define our pain points. Often hidden beneath daily life, core wounds shape how we see ourselves, what we expect from others, and, yes, even the types of relationships we attract.

A classic example: you keep ending up in situations where you don’t feel listened to, or you withhold your truth out of fear. Psychoastrology® says—let’s trace that pattern to its source. This is where Chiron, the “wounded healer” in astrology, enters the scene.

The Power of Chiron: Astrology Meets Psychology

In your personal birth chart, Chiron describes the main area where emotional hurt feels the deepest—but also where you have the most potential for growth and healing. Depending on its sign and house placement, Chiron highlights common themes like self-worth (Aries), communication (Gemini), or belonging (Aquarius).

For example:

• Chiron in Aries: Themes of struggling with self-acceptance or being “good enough.”
• Chiron in Libra: Core wounds might revolve around fairness, relationships, or feeling seen by others.
• Chiron in Virgo: Battles with perfectionism or feeling like you’ll never measure up.

By connecting your Chiron placement to personal experiences and emotional patterns, clients can see that their wounds aren’t random—they’re archetypal and, importantly, workable.

Bridging the Gap: How Therapy & Astrology Work Together

So, why not just go with traditional therapy alone? Here’s what psychoastrology® adds to your healing:

1. Deeper Self-Understanding

Traditional therapy is amazing for helping you find clarity around your behaviors, feelings, and relationships. Psychoastrology® adds another layer, revealing the cosmic story that’s been playing out since birth. Seeing your personal struggles mirrored in your birth chart can be validating: “Oh, this is why I’m so sensitive about this topic!”

2. Timing Your Healing

Astrology isn’t just descriptive; it’s predictive. Certain planetary transits (like a major Chiron return) may trigger themes related to your core wounds—an ideal time to focus your therapy on those issues for deeper results.

3. Symbolic Language for Big Emotions

Astrology speaks in stories, archetypes, and symbols. This helps when words fail, especially for wounds formed in childhood or beyond conscious memory. Bringing those symbols into therapy makes the invisible visible, and names what’s been amorphous pain.

4. Integrative Healing Techniques

Think of psychoastrology® as a toolkit. Your therapist draws from EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), cognitive reframing, self-forgiveness work, and more—all while using your birth chart as a north star.

Jung’s Influence and the Four Psychological Types

Psychoastrology® finds its roots in the work of Carl Jung, who believed that the “seed” of personality is present at birth. Jung described four fundamental psychological types:

• Thinking: Logical, analytical, often aligned with air signs.
• Feeling: Values-driven, relational, with connections to water signs.
• Sensation: Present-focused, practical, tied to earth signs.
• Intuition: Possibility-oriented, future-focused, often related to fire signs.

By blending your psychological type with your astrological chart, a therapist can target approaches that work for you. For example, highly intuitive types might heal best through guided imagery or dreamwork, while thinkers may prefer journaling and cognitive techniques.

The Alchemy of Healing: Turning Wounds into Wisdom

Healing, at its best, is a process of transformation. Just as alchemists turned base metals into gold, psychoastrology® helps you turn emotional pain into hard-earned wisdom. Here’s how:

1. Awareness: Get clear on the wound.
2. Compassion: Develop self-forgiveness and understanding for why it formed.
3. Action: Use a customized blend of therapy, spiritual tools, and self-care to transform old stories.

Astrological cycles help you time this journey—there’s a reason so many breakthroughs happen during Chiron returns or Saturn transits!

Practical Steps: How Sessions Integrate Both Worlds

Here’s what a psychoastrology® session at NOLATHERAPY might involve:

• Chart review: Identifying Chiron and other key placements
• Dialogue: Connecting chart themes to lived experience
• EMDR or cognitive-behavioral exercises to process difficult memories
• Coaching on self-forgiveness techniques
• Spiritual practices, like mindfulness or guided visualization

This approach is flexible—whether you need deep trauma processing, skills for anxiety, or just a cosmic perspective shift, we tailor the blend to you.

Self-Forgiveness: The Heart of Healing

If there’s a single thread running through psychoastrology®, it’s this: healing starts with forgiving yourself—not just for your wounds, but for the ways you’ve tried to survive them.

Therapists at Nolatherapy believe self-forgiveness isn’t a one-time act, but a process of loosening guilt, rewriting old scripts, and making peace with your journey. It’s powerful to realize that your core wounds might contain the exact gifts you’re here to share.

Why Choose A Blended Approach?

Why not get the best of both worlds? By working with a therapist who uses both modern psychology and the guidance of psychoastrology®, you’ll:

• Unlock insights and validation you might not get from talk therapy alone
• Connect your healing to larger cycles and meaning
• Tap into the language of soul, archetype, and belonging

Whether you’re feeling stuck or ready for a radical breakthrough, this approach honors both your practical needs and your deepest mysteries.

When it comes to mental health, support should fit around your real, busy, ever-changing life—not the other way around. That’s exactly what virtual therapy delivers. Whether you’re juggling a packed schedule, dealing with a sudden crisis, or living in a location that puts in-person services out of reach, online counseling makes getting help simple, flexible, and thoroughly modern.

Let’s explore the many ways virtual therapy opens new doors to wellbeing, making professional mental health support more accessible than ever.

Breaking Down the Barriers to Care

One of the most significant advantages of virtual therapy is that it removes major roadblocks that can prevent people from seeking or sticking with counseling.

Geographic and Transportation Freedom
You don’t have to live in a city, or even near a clinic, to work with a great therapist anymore. Online counseling brings licensed professionals right to your phone, tablet, or computer, making it just as easy for people in rural areas, small towns, or overseas to access high-quality mental health support as anyone else. No more worrying about long drives, traffic, or unreliable transport.

Accessibility for All
For people living with disabilities, chronic illnesses, or limited mobility, the rigors of getting to and from appointments can be overwhelming. Virtual therapy means getting care without leaving your home—no navigating stairs, elevators, or crowded waiting rooms required. Plus, it opens up essential support for those dealing with social anxiety, agoraphobia, or other challenges that make traditional therapy settings feel daunting.

Your Privacy, Protected
Attending a therapist’s office can sometimes feel intimidating, and concerns about privacy or stigma may keep people from reaching out. Virtual sessions happen in a place of your choosing—your living room, your car during a lunch break, wherever you feel secure. Secure telehealth platforms utilize encrypted connections to ensure your conversations remain confidential and protected at all times.

Flexible Scheduling on Your Terms

One of the most transformative shifts online counseling brings is flexibility. Gone are the days of rearranging your entire week around a 3 PM Wednesday appointment or losing precious PTO for those midday commutes. Virtual therapy lets you:

• Pick your ideal time: Many therapists, including at Nolatherapy, offer evening, weekend, and sometimes same-day appointments.
• Avoid waiting rooms: Just click your secure link and you’re in. Zero commute. Zero awkward lobby-time.
• Reschedule with ease: If your day goes sideways, you can simply move your session—no need for long notice or complicated logistics.

Parents, caregivers, shift workers, students, and busy professionals all benefit from online therapy options that adapt to their real lives. It’s self-care made actually doable.

More Ways to Connect

Not everyone’s therapeutic needs—or comfort levels—look the same. Virtual therapy offers a spectrum of formats, so you get to choose what’s right for you:

1. Live Video Sessions: The most similar to in-person visits, allowing for important face-to-face contact and nonverbal cues.

2. Phone Calls: Ideal for those who find video overwhelming or want to avoid screen fatigue.

3. Secure Messaging and Email: Some providers, including Nolatherapy, can offer asynchronous support between sessions when you need a quick check-in, encouragement, or to share a breakthrough.

This multimodal approach supports your unique communication style and needs, helping you stay connected even if work, family, or emergencies throw your regular routine off course.

Consistent Care, No Matter Where Life Takes You

Traveling for business? Temporarily living in a new city? Kids home with the flu? Virtual therapy moves right along with you. As long as you have an internet connection, your therapist—and your support system—are available.

This continuity is a game-changer for people in transition, those with unpredictable schedules, or anyone who wants to maintain momentum in their healing journey regardless of life’s curveballs. Miss fewer appointments, build a stronger therapist-client relationship, and keep making progress even when things get unpredictable.

It Fits Into Your Life—Not the Other Way Around

Kids napping? Lunch break? Cozy pajamas on a rainy night? Your therapy can happen then and there. The ease of showing up for yourself, without the preparation and upheaval of traditional appointments, is one of the biggest gifts virtual therapy has to offer.

Being able to access support in the place you feel most comfortable—without extra hassle—can create an atmosphere that encourages openness and authentic progress. Many clients find it easier to talk about tough subjects when they’re at home, surrounded by things that make them feel safe and grounded.

How to Get Started

If you’re curious about virtual therapy, getting set up is simple. At Nolatherapy, we make the process easy, compassionate, and confidential. Here’s what to expect:

1. Visit our Zoom Therapy page for a step-by-step overview.
2. Choose your session format (video or phone).
3. Schedule online at a time that works for you using our streamlined scheduling tool.
4. Get comfortable—and just click your link at the appointment time.

If you have questions or just want to start a conversation, the contact form is always open, too.

Real-Life Results and Testimonials

Clients transitioning to online counseling often worry: Will it feel as personal? Will the connection be “real” enough? Over and over, the answer is a resounding yes. Many people discover unexpected benefits to virtual sessions, from feeling more comfortable opening up to maintaining better consistency and progress.

Stress and anxiety have somewhat become a part of our daily life. Even though you try to clear your mind, you cannot because you suffer from stressful situations. These stressful situations affect the married life of many couples across the world. Therefore, many people seek Couples Therapy Los Angeles to resolve their problems.

You may not know, but stress and anxiety profoundly impact your body and ignoring it can lead to many medical problems. Whether you believe it or not, both stress and anxiety impact every system in your body.

• Nervous system: extreme stress or anxiety causes our nervous system to seep up our heartbeats. Thus, making people breathe faster and increasing the glucose level in the body.
• Cardiovascular system: chronic stress causes our heartbeat to accelerate, and adrenaline courses through the body. An increase in heartbeat or adrenaline leads to heart attacks, strokes, and hypertension. To maintain your stress levels, go for Therapeutic Intervention.
• Endocrine System: repeated stress lead to chronic fatigue, depression, and immune disorders.
• Musculoskeletal System: the more you try to fight the stress, the more you tighten your muscles. It sometimes leads to migraines or severe headaches. Therefore, it is necessary to take necessary precautions at the right time.
• Gastrointestinal System: due to stress, brain communication with other body parts is impacted, which sometimes causes bowel discomfort, vomiting, and unhealthy diets choices. In addition, to deal with stress and anxiety, some people opt for smoking and drinking, which cause other gastrointestinal problems.
• Reproductive System: stress and anxiety diminish sexual desires. At the same time, some men face a more challenging time producing sperm. In contrast, a woman’s menstrual cycle gets disrupted, thus giving them a more challenging time trying to conceive. As a result, many married couples opt for Couples Therapy Los Angeles to manage such situations.

For some people, dealing with stress is not as easy as for someone else. Everyone has their way of dealing with stress. If you cannot deal with stress or anxiety, don’t hesitate to seek professional help.

Some other problems caused by stress and anxiety are mentioned below:

• Muscle tension
• Getting sick a lot
• Erectile dysfunction
• Depression
• Panic attacks

If you have been dealing with a lot of stress lately, we strongly suggest you take proactive methods to alleviate it. One of the best ways to alleviate stress and anxiety to live a healthy and happy life is Therapeutic Intervention. Consult a therapist to manage your stress to live a happy and stress-free life.

Lisa shares from her book, The Chiron Effect, that in our astrological natal chart, also called our birth chart, the location of Chiron reveals core wounds, which block our capacity to have self-empathy and to forgive. Lack of empathy and compassion for ourselves and others obstructs our ability to both create and allow our desires.
