The Family Inheritance: Parental Patterns in the Horoscope
SHIPPING NOW!!
Juliet Sharman-BurkeThe two seminars in this reprinted volume present the complex astrology of family dynamics in a clear, insightful and sympathetic way. The stories of our family backgrounds portrayed in the birth horoscope are also images of our own development and destiny, illuminated by the ancient and ever-living characters of myth. Parents are both patterns and modes of perception, and Juliet Sharman-Burke’s extensive experience as both a psychotherapist and an astrologer allows her to develop with great clarity and empathy the ways in which the past reveals itself in the present and the future, and how we can best express our family inheritance in creative rather than destructive ways. Part One explores the planets as parental significators, each with its accompanying myths, while Part Two examines the myths of the zodiac signs as they are expressed through our perception of our parents. Students of astrology will appreciate the practical and accessible manner in which profound themes are related to everyday life, while experienced astrological practitioners can benefit from the many insights into the fundamental importance of the parental images in the horoscope.

Show moreThe Family Inheritance – Parental Patterns in the Horoscope, is based on two seminars given by Juliet Sharman-Burke as part of the Centre for Psychological Astrology’s seminar programme, during 1994 and 1995. The book is structured in two parts. Part One – Images of Mother and Father in the Natal Horoscope, and Part Two – Zodiacal Myths and Their Correlation with Parent Images.
The focus throughout the book is related to parents and parental relationship patterns, as opposed to the wider scope of family members. In the first part, images of parents are considered by discussing each of the planets when placed in either of the parental houses. Beginning with the meaning of the 4th and 10th houses, a clear baseline is established from which to examine each planet individually, to see how they reflect the individual’s parental images. What I like most about this section is the clarity and simplicity. Psychological perspective and Myth are part of the discussion which is interwoven with participant dialogue, making the conversation and observations both useful and relatable.
In the second part, once again, the focus on the zodiac myths relates to the parental houses, allowing one to gain a deeper sense of parents in a broader context. The myths represented by each of the zodiac signs, in relation to the 4th and 10th houses, offers a degree of specificity which one can easily extrapolate and apply meaningfully to individual charts and relationships. On one hand, some myths appear intricate and dark whilst on the other hand they are straightforward and illuminating. Engaging the imagination and the intuition in this way creates potential to see both sides of a parent (or individual) and to appreciate them as a whole being. Thus, the opportunity to achieve greater understanding and healing. Incredibly useful for the consulting astrologer!
Sharman-Burke has provided us with a useful resource. Specifically focusing on parental aspects of the horoscope makes this book not only an ideal starting point for those beginning to explore family inheritance, but interesting reading for the more experienced astrologer. A good addition to my library…I wish I had read this book sooner!

Sharman-Burke has a warm, inviting, light touch, and she is well at home with myths and their contemporary players. I would highly recommend this book to those beginning a serious investigation of psychological astrology…It is rich reading.’
