When developmental psychology takes interest in the “depths”, thoughts first turn to the mother & her child’s internal maternal images; when developmental astrology takes interest in the “depths”, interest turns to the symbolic Moon, especially when it is waxing to fullness, traversing the Moon’s sign, Cancer, &/or  the 4^th house of the nuclear family; this webpage is devoted to the links between psychological health & maternity.

Regular Full Moon articles will appear on this page, with an introduction and link to the full article at waxing moons of our choosing.

Basics of Developmental Astrology

            In the 21^stC, human developmental psychology has largely left 20^thC theorists such as Sigmund Freud & Jean Piaget in its rearview mirror; and, of course, astrology was left behind long before this psychology appeared as a field of academic study; CLICK HERE for FA’s discussion of the degree to which this vitally important field is short-changing its history and pre-history.

Basics of Developmental Astrology (cont.)

            “Developmental astrology” is the “saviour” of “the individual”. To be so, astrology first needs to be “saved” from “traditional astrology” (i) Ptolemy’s incorrect “regressive” ‘1–12–11–10–9’  was “saved” by Copernicus, (ii) ‘11 Lamarck’’s incorrect idea of “striving to improve &/or perfect” was “saved” by Darwin & (iii) the ‘1–12–11 trick’ of Satan – that the future can be “consciously” ‘9 divined’ & ‘10 controlled’ – was “saved” by Freud.
