Unlocking Your True Self: The Role of Healing Trauma and Astrology

March 14, 20237 min read

Do you feel like you don't really know who you are or what you want out of life? Have you experienced trauma in your past that continues to impact you in the present? It's important to understand that healing from trauma isn't just about addressing the symptoms, but also about getting to the root of the issue on a mental, emotional, physical, and soul level.

When we experience trauma, it can have a profound impact on our sense of self. We may feel disconnected from our emotions, struggle with relationships, or have a difficult time making decisions. In order to truly know who we are and what we want, we need to heal from the trauma that's holding us back.

Starting the healing process can be a daunting task, but astrology can be an effective tool to gain insight into the impact of trauma on our birth chart. However, if we haven't begun to address our trauma, we may feel disconnected from our true identity, making it difficult to fully benefit from astrology. Understanding the ways trauma shows up in our birth chart can provide valuable insights into our experiences and struggles, helping us begin our healing journey. Here's how:

Trauma and the Birth Chart

Trauma can show up in a person's birth chart in various ways. For example, Pluto represents transformation, power, and intensity, but it also represents trauma, crisis, and the shadow self. If a person has Pluto in a challenging aspect to other planets or points in their chart, it can indicate a tendency towards power struggles, control issues, and a need to confront their shadow self.

The Moon represents emotions, the subconscious, and our nurturing instincts. If a person has a challenging aspect to their Moon, it can indicate emotional instability, mood swings, and difficulty regulating their emotions.

Saturn represents responsibility, discipline, and structure. If a person has a challenging aspect to their Saturn, it can indicate a tendency towards self-criticism, perfectionism, and a fear of failure.

Chiron represents the wounded healer. If a person has Chiron in a challenging aspect to other planets or points in their chart, it can indicate a need for healing around their deepest wounds and a calling to help others heal.

Using Astrology for Trauma Healing

Understanding how trauma shows up in your birth chart can provide insights into your experiences and struggles. It can also help you identify areas where you need healing and support. By working with a trained astrologer who has experience working with trauma survivors, you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences.

However, it's important to remember that astrology is just one tool in the healing process. Healing from trauma requires a multi-faceted approach that addresses the mental, emotional, physical, and soul levels of our being. Working with someone who can help you get to the root of your trauma on all of these levels is essential for true healing.

Finding the Right Support

If you've experienced trauma and are struggling to heal, it's important to seek out the right support. This may include therapy, energy work, bodywork, and other modalities that can help you address the root of your trauma.

When it comes to astrology, it's important to work with someone who has experience working with trauma survivors. An experienced astrologer can provide guidance and support, helping you navigate your healing journey. They can also provide insights into how your birth chart may be impacting your experiences and help you develop tools for healing and growth.

Trauma can manifest in various ways, such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and even physical symptoms like chronic pain or illness. When we carry unresolved trauma, we limit our ability to connect with ourselves and others on a deeper level, and we may struggle to reach our full potential in life.

This is where working with a trauma coach who can help you get to the root of your trauma on a mental, emotional, physical, and soul level is crucial. Trauma coaches are trained professionals who use various techniques and modalities to support their clients' healing journeys, such as talk therapy, body-based practices, energy work, and astrology.

Why Work with a Trauma Coach?

Here are a few reasons why working with a trauma coach can be beneficial for your healing journey:

  1. A safe and supportive space: Trauma coaches provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore your experiences, emotions, and behaviors without judgment or shame. They create a container for healing to take place, where you can feel heard, seen, and validated.

  2. Specialized training and expertise: Trauma coaches have specialized training and expertise in working with trauma survivors. They understand the complex nature of trauma and the impact it can have on a person's life. They can help you navigate the challenges of healing and offer tools and techniques that are tailored to your unique needs and experiences.

  3. Holistic approach: Trauma coaches take a holistic approach to healing, addressing the mental, emotional, physical, and soul levels of trauma. They recognize that trauma affects the whole person and that true healing requires a multi-dimensional approach.

  4. Compassionate accountability: Trauma coaches offer compassionate accountability, supporting you in taking responsibility for your healing journey while holding space for your process. They help you set goals and hold you accountable for taking action towards your healing.

  5. Astrology as a tool: Some trauma coaches incorporate astrology into their work as a tool for self-awareness and healing. Astrology can provide insight into your personality, strengths, weaknesses, and potential. It can also help you understand how past experiences may be showing up in your life and support you in identifying areas where you need healing and growth.

Finding the Right Trauma Coach for You

Finding the right trauma coach for you is essential for your healing journey. Here are a few things to consider when looking for a trauma coach:

  1. Credentials and experience: Look for a trauma coach who has specialized training and experience working with trauma survivors. Check their credentials and certifications to ensure they have the proper qualifications.

  2. Compatibility and rapport: It's important to find a trauma coach with whom you feel comfortable and connected. Look for someone who shares your values and understands your unique needs and experiences.

  3. Modality and approach: Different trauma coaches use different modalities and approaches to healing. Research various modalities and approaches to see which resonates with you and aligns with your goals.

  4. Reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews and testimonials from other clients to get a sense of the trauma coach's effectiveness and reputation.
