1- According to Bhagavad Gita "mind is the slayer of the real." A modern author has written, "The death of ego is the birth of everything else." Astrological analysis can provide a perspective upon and a detachment from our mind and ego patterns in order that we may again occasionally perceive what is real; for, as long as we are victimized by these patterns, we are in total darkness. The birth-chart reveals these patterns in a clear way that enables us to deal more effectively with our habits and with ourselves. Astrology can provide us with faith in something greater than mere ego consciousness and therefore faith in one's real self.

2- Astrology can help people to have a greater confidence in themselves by confirming the intimations, feelings, and inner knowledge that they may have been afraid to express or to trust. Rather than the often-voiced criticism of astrology that it makes one weaker by depending on forces outside the self, the proper use of astrology can help an individual to develop a greater degree of self-reliance and self-confidence. So often, a person feels deeply that he has special abilities in a certain area, for example, but the lack of confidence or trust in self may make it difficult to act upon this feeling.

3- Astrology provides a means whereby the client's deepest feelings and unconscious yearnings may be brought to awareness and given form. What originally was a vague, troublesome annoyance can then be transformed into a reservoir of newly liberated creative energy, often giving the individual a clear sense of new direction and meaning in life.

4- Astrology is a tool to get inside the client, to attune to him according to the client's own nature rather than projecting his unconscious assumptions on the individual, to choose appropriate treatment or therapy for a particular person. Astrology can provide us with the key to the initiations (i.e.,the crucial times of confrontation and marked growth) in every person's life, a pattern and need which is ignored by Western culture.
