How do we find the astrological threads of our family story through the generations? Understanding the key themes of the family system can support the healing of the patterns of trauma that travel down through the family line generation after generation. For example, there may be patterns related to sexual abuse, war, addiction, mental health, abandonment and so on. Family patterns also include the gifts of our ancestral lines and we can draw strength by acknowledging and celebrating these positive qualities. These strengths may include resilience, courage, creativity, a capacity to love and forgive or you may come from a long line of healers, astrologers, artists.
