Michael MacLafferty, LMFT | Archetypal Wellness
Oakland Psychotherapy & Astrological Consulting
As a psychotherapist, I want to see disability destigmatized, to be recognized as a unique and valuable perspective in society, and for awareness to grow around the language that is used to describe it. As an astrologer, I want to see disability humanized and conceptualized as a multivalent archetype, not merely existing on a list of potential sour transits.
Can you see yourself in The Fool as well as The Emperor? We have the potential for all within us, given the right circumstances. The more we tell ourselves "I am good" and "Others are bad," the more rigid and inflexible we become.
I believe that astrology is one way that we can cultivate empathy for the universe we live in. Our world is desperate for a new perspective.
