theory, depth psychology, and the wisdom of astrology. Alba Carod shows that
the interpretation of dreams coupled with study of astrological symbolism creates
meaningful emotional resonances for her clients. Her luminous paintings of dream
images enhance the text and demonstrate the process of creative dialogue with
dreams. Alba’s work unites intuition, meditation, and active imagination with prac‑
tical strategies for change.”

“Carod takes transpersonal coaching to a whole new level through creatively
integrating astrology, dream work, and active imagination. Carod’s seminal ideas,
helpful examples, and illustrative case stories show the harmonious blending and
collaboration of astrology and dream work to create an impactful and cohesive
approach in transpersonal coaching. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to my
transpersonal coaching students and supervisees.”

, Archetypal Coaching
Archetypal Coaching offers a transformative approach to personal growth, blending
ancient Greek astrological foundations and dream work with modern coaching
techniques, somatic awareness, and Jungian active imagination.
Astrological archetypes illuminate the roots of struggles and highlight potential
resources, while dreams act as a focused lens, bringing attention to issues that re‑
quire immediate exploration. The approach explored within this book emphasizes
interactive dialogue with archetypes and symbols, using embodied imagination and
somatic awareness to guide clients in creating a personal symbol that embodies
their inner process and potential, echoing Jung’s concept of the transcendent func‑
tion. Supported by six in‑depth case studies and numerous examples, the author
outlines a holistic framework for integrating astrology and dream work into coach‑
ing, emphasizing personal growth and treating archetypes as dynamic tools for
creativity and self‑discovery.
This book will appeal to established coaches, counselors, and therapists
interested in integrating archetypal work into their practice, as well as students of
Jungianpsychology,coaching,arttherapy,astrology,andrelatedfields.
