JOHN SANDBACH – ASTROLOGER, PSYCHIC

MY BACKGROUND

I was born in San Fransisco, California on May 19th, 1948 and at the age of two came to Kansas City, Missouri where I currently reside. Astrology has been my full-time profession since 1966. In the early years of my practice I was self taught, but as time went on I studied with many different people, and collected a wealth of information and techniques to enhance my work.
In the forty-five years I have been in practice I have studied many different types of astrology, including traditional, psychological, esoteric, Arabian and Indian.  For years I traveled to many places in America where I conducted astrological classes and workshops and worked as an astrological consultant.  I currently teach students on a one-on-one basis, either in person or by phone.
I majored in Art History in college, and have had extensive training in Gestalt therapy. I opted to take Gestalt training to refine my astrology readings and to intensify my ability to relate to clients, so that I could communicate the energies of their chart to them in the most therapeutic way possible.
Although I no longer prepare written reports for clients, during the time I did I wrote over 10,000 pages of astrological analyses for people – that’s over two and a half million words. With this kind of experience behind me, I have an ability to look deeply into an individual’s chart and to see things which many other astrologers might miss. I am dedicated to excellence in my work. Astrology is both an art and a science, but for me it is primarily an art, and each reading I do is an individual work of art.
I know many of the most prominent astrologers living today, and am considered by my peers to be a leading practitioner in the astrological field. The astrologer Noel Tyl, author of many textbooks on astrology has referred to me as “an astrological genius.”

OTHER INTERESTS

As well as being an astrologer, I also paint, sculpt in clay, and write poetry. For several years I have specialized in writing haiku, a sort poem of Japanese origin. My haiku have been published in the Japanese haiku journal “Ginyu,” published by Banya Natsuishi, one of Japan’s leading haiku poets. Natuishi has praised my work very highly. In 2002 “Step Into Sky,” a book of 100 of my haiku was published by Happa-no-kofu press in Tokyo Japan, with an introduction by Natsuishi. I have also published two other books of  haiku,  “Wrinkled Sea,” and “A Dragonfly and Facts.” I also taught Chinese somatic therapy techniques at Massage Therapy Training Institute in Kansas City for 10 years, as well as classes in Reiki (a Japanese form of energy healing), gem and mineral therapy, and reflexology.

PUBLICATIONS

I have written the following books on astrology and related fields:

“The Dwads: Degree Analysis and Deeper Meanings” (two volumes), published by Seek-It Publications, Rochester, MI. This is a technical work meant as a textbook for practicing astrologers.
The astrologer Ellias Lonsdale has written an elaboration of volume two of my work. His book is called “Inside Degrees” (published by North Atlantic Books, Berkeley, CA). His book and mine describe an extremely powerful technique known as degree astrology, a method used by the ancient Vedic astrologers of India that is based on a psychic pictorial image for each degree of the zodiac. I use degree astrology in all my readings to uncover karmic patterns in the chart, revealing much information that is hidden and subtle about you.

“Planetary Containments: A Study of 990 Combinations” published by Seek-It Publications, Rochester, MI
This is also a text for practicing astrologers. It describes a simple technique first found by French practitioners, and is the only extensive work ever written on the subject. Currently available from Amazon.com.

“The Mysteries of Color” published by Aries Press, Chicago, IL
I teach a course in color therapy at a local massage school in Kansas City and use this book as a text. It describes the psychological and metaphysical meanings of color as well as methods for applying color therapeutically. Currently available from Amazon.com.

“The Golden Cycle: A Text on the Tarot” published by Seek-It Publications, Rochester, MI
This book is a synthesis of astrology, linguistics, numerology, metaphysics and other disciplines. My approach to the tarot is spiritual, and uses the tarot as a tool to assist the unfoldment of consciousness.

“Astrology, Alchemy and the Tarot” published by Seek-It Publications, Rochester, MI
This is a metaphysical explanation of the relationship of the astrological planets and signs to the twenty-two cards of the Major Arcana of the Tarot. Currently available from Amazon.com.

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

My primary goal is to help people understand themselves more fully, so that they can achieve true happiness and fulfillment in their lives. All of us have an abundance of powers and abilities, many of them as yet undiscovered. Because of restrictive social programming most of us have been programmed to be unaware of our inner lives. This has caused many of us to become stuck in frustration, depression, and an inability to cope with our problems. Astrology, when used in a spiritual manner can reconnect us with our inner selves, help us to explore the hidden realms of our being, and through doing so reveal new potentials that can bring us fulfillment.
In the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas it is stated, “if you bring forth that which is within you, it will save you.” Through revealing to others the astrological forces at work in their lives I am attempting to help people bring forth that which is within, so that they can be who they truly are, and let go of those false personalities and needlessly limiting beliefs and assumptions their parents and society have projected onto them.
Although my readings are at root spiritual in nature, I am very aware of people’s practical needs as they live their lives in the world. In every aspect of my work I am always attempting to help people find ways of creatively applying their personal resources to practical concerns. My ultimate goal is to help people be who they really are, for the more all of us manifest our true nature, the more wonderful and harmonious our existence here on earth will become.

This can greatly help you and another person to understand how to get along better, and how to make your relationship a success.

I also do past life readings using the Tarot.

Oftentimes when a person is made more aware of these past life energies, new insights are provided into current difficulties.
