Juliet Sharman-Burke

Greek gods, Norse heroes, Polynesian tricksters, and Native American warriors – they all have lessons to teach us. Since the beginning of time, human beings have relied on myths, fairy tales, and fables to explain life's mysteries. Bringing a fresh perspective to these age-old tales, Liz Greene and Juliet Sharman-Burke reveal how people today can find support and inspiration in the legends and lore of the past. The Mythic Journey explores the psychological dimensions of many traditions, recounting stories from various cultures including Greco-Roman, Hebraic, Egyptian, Celtic, Japanese, and Norse. More than fifty myths are beautifully retold, and each is followed by a psychological overview explaining how we can relate the story to our own lives. The Mythic Journey is a handbook for human life, guiding readers through the conflicts of family and childhood, the problems of love and intimacy, the challenges of ambition, failure, and success, and the moments when we must face our own mortality. We discover that authentic self-knowledge comes through facing life's challenges with courage and strength; that beauty, talent, power, and wealth bring their own forms of suffering; and that in the darkness of loneliness, failure, and loss, mythic tales have always helped us to discover new light and new hope.

The two seminars in this volume present the complex astrology of family dynamics in a clear, insightful and sympathetic way. The stories of our familybackgrounds portrayed in the birth horoscope are also images of our own development and destiny, illuminated by the ancient and ever-living characters of myth. Parents are both patterns and modes of perception, and Juliet Sharman-Burke’s extensive experience as both a psychotherapist and an astrologer allows her to develop with great clarity and empathy the ways in which the past reveals itself in the present and the future, and how we can best express our family inheritance in creative rather than destructive ways. Part One explores the planets as parental significators, each with its accompanying myths, while Part Two examines the myths of the zodiac signs as they are expressed through our perception of our parents. Students of astrology will appreciate the practical and accessible manner in which profound themes are related to everyday life, while experienced astrological practitioners can benefit from the many insights into the fundamental importance of the parental images in the horoscope.

This is a reprint of the original CPA Press version. The two seminars in this volume, given by astrologers with extensive psychotherapeutic training as well as many years’ experience of astrological work, will be an enormous asset to any astrologer working in a counselling role. This book may also be disturbing to those astrologers who feel that reading the horoscope, because it seems “detached” and different from traditional psychotherapy, alleviates the astrologer of any personal responsibility for inner work. The real depth and richness of astrological work is presented here in an accessible but profound fashion, enlivened by the seminar format and relevant for anyone wishing to use astrology to work with others.
