Archetypos Podcast 11. Dr. Glenn Perry - Down an AstroPsychology Rabbit Hole
I took a break over the holidays but I’m excited for episode 11 of the podcast!
I’m speaking with Dr. Perry again, whom I love and find so fascinating and brilliant and kind.
Glenn Perry, Ph.D., is an astrologer and licensed psychotherapist in Melbourne, FL, USA. In addition to private practice, Dr. Perry is currently director and lead faculty at the Academy of AstroPsychology, an online school that offers a two-year Diploma Program. Glenn has written nine books, including An Introduction to AstroPsychology, and served twenty years as Board member, ethics chair, and research advisor for the International Society of Astrological Research (ISAR). He lectures internationally on the application of astrology to the fields of counseling and psychotherapy. Website: www.aaperry.com
As the break from the podcast stretched out, I felt more and more procrastinate-y about getting back to it, but once I re-listened to this convo, I was reminded of how much I love this project, and the people I get to engage with. All my resistance dissolved, and all my passion re-ignited. So, it was a good convo, to say the least.
What do we talk about? Differences between astrology and psychology, and how the two can support each other. The idea of synchronicity as an on-going dynamic, not an occasional magic. How astrology is both a tool for raising awareness, but also how life itself is inherently therapeutic. The idea that the Cosmos is ensouled and intelligent. We did get into some technical astrology - we talk about challenging aspects as representing a problem, solution, and goal all in one, and how to understand the exact meaning of an aspect based on the angle but also whether it’s an opening or closing aspect.
Dr. Perry shares some of his newer work including an astrological developmental model, as well as ideas from his latest book around pathology in the natal chart. We tease out the mysterious saying “all meaning is an angle.” Dr. Perry shares a very personal story to illustrate the idea of increasing awareness through astrology. I make an incorrect assumption and get corrected as well as share a bit about my own personal experience with therapy. We have a bonding moment around summer vacation and the perception of time.
There’s a lot, hope you enjoy!
