Barbara Ybarra
Barbara Ybarra learned a process of deciphering psychological development in the horoscope from Noel Tyl, who has perfected a system of synthesis using both traditional and modern techniques. As a result, Barbara uses astrology to help people view their lives more proactively and to understand how they are influenced from their early home. Doing this, we can see the pattern of behavior that reinforces our behavior every day.Each of us looks for principles that guide us through life, whatever our spiritual inclination—we need to “feel” what guides us. When we experience deep emotions and are aware of them, we can then tie them to beliefs about where the emotions come from and why we feel them. In turn we can share these when someone asks what we think.To illustrate her approach, Barbara uses the example of Sun square Saturn, which some astrologers would define as perpetual depression, and writes, “That is not creative thinking. Our lives are given to us for soul growth!” This is the approach Barbara takes in Emotional Dimensions of Astrology, while encouraging astrologers and students to think about the importance of feelings in life and to consider what emotions do for us.This book is insightful, spiritual, esoteric, and forward-thinking, and through it Barbara encourages everyone to seek their highest spiritual expression, which is the best gift we can give ourselves. 3
