The Astrology of Healing: Unlocking Our Sacred Wounds with the Wisdom of the Stars

There is a magical moment when you see your trauma embedded within your own birth chart. It's a come to God moment. When you realize the wounds you endured in your life were already written in the archetypal signature at the time you took your first breath. It was already there. Waiting for you to live through it, to alchemize into something more, because everything really does happen for a reason. Our most impactful events in our lives are packed into our birth charts.

In The Astrology of Healing, author Nada Yousif shares her knowledge of the stars and how they impact the most significant events of our lives. She takes a scholarly approach, tying in history with astrological placements for a macro view of the world. But she also invites the reader to examine their own life events, traumas, and accomplishments through specific evaluations of birth charts and what each placement means.

Astrology not only shows us all of our core wounds, but it gives context to why we need them and how we can work with them in this lifetime. It's alchemy at it's finest. Astrology gives our wounds the map to the integration of our special healing elixir that we are meant to offer back to the world around us. As within, so without... The Astrology of Healing says, "Not only was this meant to happen, but here's why." That alone heals at a deeper level.

Throughout the pages of this book, Yousif examines the charts of famous figures, both historical and modern and breaks down the events of their lives to show how astrology affects us all. The author also weaves in her personal story and shares how astrology changed her life. Then, she provides guidance to the reader, so they can use astrology to unlock their full potential, use the gifts they've been given, and heal the meaningful wounds within so they can fulfill their highest destinies.

Astrology is like an ancient language. Once we remember this ancient language, we can begin to decipher what our own charts are trying to teach us. We can come to understand the 'why' and the 'how' to use these lessons and life experiences for our spiritual evolution. It's an opportunity to shine the light on our innermost selves. Seeing our birth charts for the first time is like turning on a flashlight in a dark hidden room that's been locked up our entire life. Suddenly we can see everything, each one of our traumas show up in a symbolic, energetic signature... our 'Natal Promise'. It's a worldview-changing moment for most, and gives credibility to the saying, "Everything happens for a reason." Our power is truly written in the stars.
