This therapy group blends insights from Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning with reflective tools from astrology to help participants explore their sense of purpose, direction, and meaning in life. Using the astrological birth chart, especially the North Node, and optionally Chiron, Lilith, Saturn, we will reflect on inner strengths, life challenges, and potential barriers to fulfillment. Astrology is used symbolically as a prompt for exploration, not as a rigid or predictive system.
Grounded in person-centered therapy and logotherapy, the group emphasizes freedom, authenticity, and meaning-making. Participants will be encouraged to share experiences, reflect on personal values, and support each other in clarifying life direction in a safe, collaborative space.
