Understanding and managing your inner astro-team: MBPA
Discover Mindfulness-Based Psychological Astrology (MBPA) – an innovative way to explore your inner world.
Find out how your horoscope can serve as a guide to realising your full potential,
and how you can create a more mindful and joyful life.
What is MBPA?
MBPA stands for Mindfulness-Based Psychological Astrology – an integrative psychological method that combines astrological horoscope analysis with modern psychotherapeutic approaches. Here, the horoscope is not seen as a confining cage, but as a map of your inner diversity. The better we know and understand our inner companions on this journey, the more consciously and joyfully we can shape our path.
The significance of mindfulness
The ‘M’ in MBPA stands for mindfulness. Mindfulness is understood here as a fundamental inner attitude: the ability to perceive one’s own experience from an observant perspective (the inner observer) – including inner voices, impulses and conflicts – with curiosity, openness and without immediate judgement. This mindfulness-based attitude invites us to pause, look closely and ask: Who is speaking here right now? What does this part need? What message does it carry? This perspective is key to working with the inner team before we can enter into a healing dialogue with our inner parts.
How MBPA can benefit you?
Whilst a standard horoscope analysis often provides theoretical knowledge, MBPA offers you a profound psychological insight into yourself, gained through experience. You will not only learn to understand your inner aspects, but also to manage them effectively. The aim is to enable you to live in greater harmony and with greater awareness alongside your ‘inner team’.
What is MBPA
MBPA is an integrative psychological method that combines astrological horoscope analysis with modern psychotherapeutic approaches. The birth chart serves as a structural map of the ‘inner team’ – the various psychological parts or sub-personalities of an individual. Following an analysis of these inner parts and the application of Voice Dialogue techniques, MBPA essentially works with four core methods:
- The Observer Perspective: the application of an ACT-based defusion technique that promotes mindful, detached awareness of inner parts without over-identifying with them.
- Resource Identification: identifying the inner parts that represent personal resources.
- The Healing Counterpart: exploring which inner parts can naturally balance or compensate for difficult parts.
- Team leader analysis: Examining how the central ‘inner leader’ guides and organises the entire inner team.
