Astrology charts (horoscopes), provided by Glenn Perry, PhD, can be viewed as symbolic portraits of the psyche. Each planet symbolizes a specific psychological function as well as a corollary external figure or event. Relations between planets signify the individual's beliefs about the relative likelihood of meeting basic needs through interactions with others. The summary product of these beliefs constitutes the personal mythology or life script. By using astrology charts to gain insight into one's personal mythology, the individual is empowered to consciously participate in his or her own evolution. Students attending Dr. Perry's astrology school work with their own charts as part of their training to become astrological consultants.
