Astrology, Psychology and the Four Elements by Stephen Arroyo, a recognized classic in modern astrology, is truly a pioneering book in the field of astrology. It establishes a new science of astrological psychology. Arroyo presents a language of energy that has enabled astrology to be widely and reliably used in the helping professions as well as by the general public. As Library Journal stated, "Transcending the boundaries of separate disciplines, this work represents a major distillation of astrological principles."

This book relates astrology to modern psychology and explains the use of astrology as a practical method of understanding one's attunement to universal forces. It clearly shows how to approach astrology with a real understanding of the energies involved, and it includes practical instruction in the interpretation of astrological factors with more depth than is commonly found in astrological textbooks. It was awarded the Astrology Prize by the British Astrological Association.

About the Author

Stephen Arroyo Arroyo has written eight books on psychologically oriented astrology which demonstrate how the individual's experience of the Solar System impacts the personal energy field, both psychological and physical. His works recast astrological concepts in psychological terms, and reject what he perceives as the fatalism and negativity of old-fashioned astrology. His books have now been translated into 25 languages. He has been awarded the British Astrological Association Prize, the Fraternity of Canadian Astrologers' International Award, and the US Astrology Congress's Regulus Award.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

STEPHEN ARROYO's eight books have made him one of the best-selling authors of modern astrology books worldwide. Among his works are Astrology, Psychology & the Four Elements; Astrology, Karma & Transformation; Relationships and Life Cycles; Stephen Arroyo's Chart Interpretation Handbook, & Exploring Jupiter. His writings have elicited such tremendously enthusiastic response internationally that they have now been translated into 20 languages, and he has been awarded the British Astrological Association Astrology Prize, the Fraternity of Canadian Astrologers' International Sun Award, and United Astrology Congress's Regulus Award.

Arroyo's work spans the spectrum of modern, psychologically oriented astrology, supported by his many years of one-to-one counseling work (he holds a California Marriage, Family & Child Counseling license), and body- and energy-centered therapies such as Polarity Therapy. With a background in mathematics and the arts (an honors degree in literature from University of California), and a master's degree in psychology, Stephen Arroyo has developed a system in which the individual's experience is foremost, disregarding the fatalism and negativity of old-fashioned astrology. His writings are renowned for the reliable methods he has distilled for understanding astrological principles in relation to the human energy field, in a way that people of all cultures and backgrounds can easily relate to. As Library Journal stated, his work is particularly notable for his unique ability to express complex concepts in clear, simple language that the reader can identify with and apply in his or her own life.

In addition to numerous appearances in the USA, Arroyo has been a guest speaker or seminar leader in the UK, Spain, France, Italy, Mexico, and Switzerland. He has taught some of the first college courses on astrology in the USA, at four different schools.

Here is a sample of the reviews of Arroyo's latest book, PERSON-TO-PERSON ASTROLOGY:

"...A wise and wonderful book."--The Mountain Astrologer

"...one of the most comprehensive, explicit guides to the psychology of relationships.... Anyone interested in the astrology of relationships would be well advised to get this book before anything else."--Horoscope Magazine

"...shows how astrological knowledge can be a useful tool for those seeking more authentic ways of being....lucid and inspirational."--UK British Astrological Assn Journal

This book showed me the use of astrology in relation with psychology. This is great because it give depth to both science.

As a beginner, I thought the message was well delivered. I’m starting to get a feeling of what astrology is all about.

Highly recommended.

I am only half way through this book, but I can already say it is the clearest and most profound book on astrology (apart from Richard Tarnas' "Cosmos and Psyche") that I have read. I've also read Arroyo's "Astrology, Karma, and Transformation," but I should have read this one first because it stays closer to the fundamentals of astrology rather than moving outward into its applications in counseling the way "A, K & T" does.

Simply, this book is a necessity for anyone who takes Psychological Astrology seriously. Arroyo presents a broader view of Astrology than usual, by viewing it as a whole - a part of everything, a system of interconnected parts- and yet at the same time this book manages to take such a vast all-encompassing concept and present it in a way that's easy to grasp, understand, and most importantly, use. Arroyo always enlightens, and this book is essential for beginning and advanced students of astrology. You will view the world differently.

Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2011
This book is not as good as I'd hoped, but I had better clarify as to why I feel this way. I should have read it when I was still a novice astrologer. It is the definitive bridge between beginning and intermediate astrology: those of us who have gotten our planetary and elemental attributions down have begun to see the bigger picture, which is that astrology and psychology are linked whether one cares to admit it or not. I think I was hoping for more because of how I've been viewing astrology for some time. However to see just the title of this book is sort of already saying what we want to hear, what has been swimming in circles in the mind. And this is why you should read this book as soon as astrology captures your heart and not a moment later. You can feel content to hold up your head even when people at the dinner table are spewing madly about what a crock of crap astrology is. I'd like to hear more about what happens when astrologers are in the big chair in the couseling office.

If you are a beginner to astrology, I can imagine this would be difficult to understand. I have been studying astrology for years, read countless books and studied the signs and their characteristics. This book goes beyond to explain the houses and the elements to the planets and even the energies to full understanding.
I highly recommend this book if you are intermediate to advanced in understanding astrology. This book will take you beyond what you know. Again, this is not for the beginner. Highly recommend.

Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2009
A definitely good introductory book for anyone considering a serious study of astrology. It grounds the reader by both validating astrology as a form of universal understanding and providing a comprehensive and simple four element explination. This will make understanding the subsequent elements and points in astrological interpretation much easier. It has a "general to specific" approach which aids in making accurate interpretations. This is not a book for the lightly interested or if you prefer the "magazine column" sort of astrology.

I work in an environment where different approaches to guidance is important. Here Stephan Arroyo explores the ancient art of astrology as a technique which provides more insight to the client. Instead of seeing counseling as a cut and dry view, he invites you to examine the personality blueprint, utilizing theraputic approaches as an overlay.
Very unique and creative approach to counseling.

Oh such a great read! Fills in a lot of missing pieces for the student of astrology! Focusing mostly on the elements within astrology, there is quite a treasure trove of great information here.

This book is timeless in its ability to serve humanity , it is totally holistic,and it has no boundaries or judgments,it is a beautifully creative wisdom filled connection to consciousness in its highest richest format, this all facilitates limitless growth for all who choose to have no boundaries or judgement in all there explorations.

Boundaries and judgement being something that could and has stunted humanity for eons of time in there ongoing quest for development and growth , something seen in so many other so called forms of expression with an often unsuccessful aim to facilitate holistic growth,

Thank You White Eagle Lodge for recommending this book as a part of the course on astrology that i am at present studying,
