I call myself a psychodynamic astrologer because I combine the approaches of psychodynamic therapy and astrology.

“The physician must have knowledge of man’s other half, that half of his nature which is bound up with astronomical philosophy; otherwise; he will be in no true sense a man’s physician, since Heaven retains within its sphere half of all bodies and all maladies. What is a physician who knows nothing of cosmography?” - Paracelsus

“We need to periodically ask, “What wants to come into the world through me?” This is not an ego-driven narcissistic question. It is a query which summons us to show up, to serve something larger than the familiar, the comfortable. Surely one of the most telling tests of our lives is whether we are living in a way which is driven more by challenge than by comfort, one which asks more of us than we had planned to offer.” - James Hollis

Psychodynamic theory places emphasis on the importance of the relationship between the therapist and the patient.

I hope to develop long term, ongoing relationships with clients to best support you in your process of becoming.

My readings may be used to Supplement your ongoing therapy.

Joe:

My readings with Amalie have been thorough and detailed, while maintaining a precision that allowed for the themes to be felt rather than intellectualized. She is clearly well practiced in her astrological tradition. This experience shows itself through her ability not only to convey the implications of my placements in a way that was clear and digestible, but also in her ability to listen to my own life experience and contextualize my reading based on relevant events. I even brought in a tarot reading that I had completed a few days prior, and she was able to weave my takeaways from it into our discussion. Some of the personal topics that I bring up during our sessions are very private and sensitive matters to me, and Amalie is trustworthy in her ability to treat them delicately. A true professional in every sense of the word. Amalie will be my go to any time I am looking for an astrological reading for a long time.

Caitlin:

The reading I did with Amalie was my first real astrology reading so I was amazed by the amount of information and insight that came through. I am still digesting it all but my main takeaway was that there is perhaps quite a lot of meaning to be made by my deeper engagement with the information that Amalie shared with me, if I could take the time to investigate more. Amalie is clearly steeped in the rich layers of mythology and symbolism of this practice - it was impressive. She was very interactive throughout the reading and was responsive and responsible with my questions. She truly respects the chart and its power. Especially for those with an introduction to this practice already, I think Amalie’s readings can be a rich source of guidance, and are sure to support one’s feeling of connection to the mysteries of the cosmos.
