Synopsis
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.
