Erin Sullivan's latest book is a breakthrough both in astrology and
psychology. The Astrology of Family Dynamics makes for gripping
reading and shows us that astrology is the only system that
demonstrates the complexities of the family as an organic whole,
the family's place in the collective, and the role an individual
plays in carrying on the ancestral line. To date there is no book
dedicated to family patterns, the psychology of family dynamics, in
natal astrology. Not only does this book fill a gap in astrological
literature, it also adds an essential new dimension to the
psychology of families and groups.
The family -- as we have known it -- has changed dramatically
with our changing technology. Families are re-forming in accord
with the new times and responding to the demands of the family
members. Many people are finding themselves uncomfortable within
the smothering nuclear family and will want to explore the patterns
that may have gone undiscovered because relatives no longer know
each other well. The five personal case histories in The Astrology
of Family Dynamics are fascinating stories.
Sullivan writes with compassion and accuracy, weaving together
various methods of analyzing and working with individuals and their
families. There is "Mohsin", the adopted man, a story of autism, a
poignant story of a woman whose child rejected her in utero! (Freud
had it half right!), and the compelling story of a woman who
carries the whole of her ancestral line -- a deeply moving tale
that verifies our personal links to our own ancestors, links that
defy linear time. She discusses the cardinal, fixed, and mutable
signs as they affect families, shows how elements work as a
familydynamic, tracks core themes in families using planetary
positions and aspects, and explains the 4th, 8th, and 12th houses
as our ancestral base. She works with the Jigsaw "TM" computer
program to sort family charts into graphs that can interpret the
data you find. A short discussion of the Kennedy family is also
included.
