You get to follow in her footsteps as she finishes her schooling, begins her career and finds her new interest in astrology. This book is a good read for anyone questioning if there is more to life than what we see. Actually it is a good book for anyone who questions. As we follow Dr. Blando through her life and travels we get to join her as she puts pieces of her personal puzzle together. From the AIDS epidemic to Machu Pichu you will read first-hand accounts of the things she has witnessed. If you are not well versed in astrology you will learn some basic things from the book about rising signs, start charts and those types of things. It may pique your interest in knowing more. That can only be described as a good thing. Make sure the information you find is of good quality - preferably first hand and not via the internet which is full of misinformation on every topic. I gave the book only 4 stars because it actually was not the book I was hoping it would be. I wanted to see a medical professional use astrological learning in the course of their medical practice - even if it was just to note that full moons really do cause crazy things in the ER. This is not what Dr. Blando is about, or if she has done it she doesn't mention it in the book. I suppose it isn't the book's fault that it wasn't what I was hoping for, but I still waited for a connection between her worlds that never came and left disappointed at the last page. I am still glad to have read it and have come away with food for thought. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
As a young doctor working in the middle of the HIV epidemic in the early '90s, Alicia Blando feels unsure of the effectiveness of the medical profession. To gain insight into her life's path, she seeks advice in some unconventional places, and lands on astrology as her way forward. Astrology, based in astronomy, has specific rules; it can't be easily manipulated. The scientist in her can't help but respond to this idea. At a pivotal group demonstration, Alicia finds a mentor, Iris, who introduces her to the study of astrology. By learning to read the horoscope, Alicia gains insight into her potential and manifests her ambition to travel and explore healing techniques from indigenous cultures. Eventually, her search for new teachers and past knowledge takes her from Manhattan to the Peruvian Amazon, Belize, and Bolivia, where she discovers ancient ways of healing among people who consider the sky to be a continuation of nature on earth. She connects with the tenets of astrology as the language that describes man's connection to the sky environment. The horoscopic map gives information that can assist in making better choices in life, Alicia learns; it has the potential to analyze a person's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and health concerns. Alicia's journey off the beaten path ultimately leads her to true self-exploration and connection with the world around her, as well as a desire to share her knowledge. In Open for Interpretation, she shares her story of finally finding the map she's been seeking--and explains how we can all use that map to access our true selves and untapped potential.
