For more than 30 years, renowned astrologer Noel Tyl has brought psychological methodology into astrological symbolism and analysis. This comprehensive guide, designed for intermediate-to-advanced level astrologers, offers a developed approach to relationship needs as expressed in the horoscope. True intimacy is the ability to express feelings and show vulnerability, without fear of criticism, rejection, or abandonment. With the knowledge acquired from this book, you will be able to help yourself and others--first, to understand personal strengths and needs, and then to use that information to build successful, satisfying relationships. Discover where intimacy begins--in the early childhood influences already profiled by the horoscope. Learn the significance that Sun-Moon blends have on relationships. Explore intimacy therapies and the three great enemies of intimacy. Read case studies focusing on smothering the self, sexual abuse, sexual dysfunction, and the inability to express emotions. Last, but not least, see how people can overcome the past and how it is never too late for intimacy to develop.
