Psychological Astrology is not to be mistaken with the widespread and more commonly known astrology as distributed by the mass-media and offered in expensive callcenters. The latter aims to satisfy the recipient with so-called information, 'helps' him/her to evade making descisions, and 'consoles' troubled minds with prognostic statements such as "this horrible influence will pass in two weeks, so don't worry..."
Mainly, it is a means of self-reflection. The psychological astrologer is no mystic oracle; instead, she simply brings distinctly specific and precise questions to your consciousness, derived from the patterns indicated in your birthchart. Through this method, you learn to observe your personality in a new light, your typical reactions to your surroundings, your behaviour, your needs and values, your dislikes and evasion-techniques, and your recurring problems concerning various issues such as relationships, career, health etc.
Dealing with your topics in this way initiates a process of becoming more and more aware of your self and your interactions with your environment. Thereby, you are encouraged to tackle life's challenges more courageously and willingly, recognizing the meaning of the lessons to be learned. Also, you can open up to respect and accept your very own individual nature, without being stubborn about not letting go of outdated and impeding behavioural patterns. Actually, the term astrological psychology would befit this method more precisely. The responsibility remains with the individual, it is not passed on to the stars or outer circumstances.
The phrase: "We don't experience the world as it is but as we are" pretty much sums up the new perspective that psychological astrology can offer you.
