In this Book the Author, who is in the front rank of modern astrological thinkers, has compressed into the most compact and systematic form the results of prolonged and careful research. Both in point of arrangement and matter it is essentially original, and will especially appeal to those who require something more than the mere reiteration of the quasi-scientific aphorisms of medieval writers. It shows, more than any other work, how rapidly modern Astrology is assuming the form of a complete Science, founded upon deductions drawn from carefully compiled data. At the same time the language is not unnecessarily technical, and the work will be of the greatest use to the beginner as well as the advanced student. Superfluous verbiage is entirely absent. It unquestionably marks an advance in the quality of books dealing with the subject, and is certain to become a standard work of the New Astrology. LONDON: W.

  • Why Astrology Is Science: Five Good Reasons
    Why Astrology is Science: Five Good Reasons Tapan Das, Ph.D., P.Eng. An excerpt from Why Astrology is Science Stars and planets each have a different influence on our lives depending on their position in their signs and heavenly houses … all these cosmic forces shape our thoughts, which in turn direct our actions. If we are warned that we are prone to rash actions due to the influence of certain planets, then we can hold a check on our emotion and avoid rash action and catastrophic results. If we know that the position of the planets give a favorable condition, then we can take advantage of it by proper action. This is how astrology can help us without giving specific answers to specific questions. Why Astrology is Tapan Das 2 Science Contents • Introduction • Basics of Astrology • History of Astrology • Astrology is Based on Statistical Analysis • Astrology is Social Science • Astrology is Linked with Alternative Medicine • Astrology is Explained by Cosmic Energy and Biofield • The Basis of Astrology is Similar to Quantum Mechanics • Conclusion • Question and Answer Why Astrology is Tapan Das 3 Science Introduction • Astrology and astronomy are historically one and the same discipline, but they started separating in the 17th century and were completely separated by the 18th century. • Astronomy, astrophysics, and cosmology studies the formation, function, and physics of planets, stars, and galaxies of the universe. • Astrology studies and correlates the impact of celestial events on human life and earthly events. • At least 90% of all Americans under age 30 are said to know their Sun sign.

One of the greatest assets of the [astrology] chart with its interwoven patterns, especially if taken in conjunction with typology, is that it can provide a richer, more comprehensive picture of what one has always been - which is also what one can potentially be." - Liz Greene Astrology is an ancient study that began in Mesopotamia as mankind tried to understand the movement of the heavens and sought the reflection of their lives in the planetary cycles. This body of pre-scientific knowledge has continued until today. Now we recognize that the movements of the planets are metaphors for life transitions. The symbolic nature of astrology lends itself to deep psychological reflection. This course will provide an introduction to a psychological approach to the Horoscope and focus on learning how to use mythology to understand the meaning of the Planets and the Sun and Moon, as well as the Zodiac Signs and Houses. The student will learn to apply mythology in a psychological understanding of the Horoscope. Readings will be from Liz Greene, The Astrology of Fate, and handouts from various texts on mythology. This course is appropriate for both beginners as an introduction to psychological astrology, as well as for advanced students interested in a mythological background to astrology.

  • Jung's Contribution to Astrology by Brian Clark
    Jung’s Contribution to Astrology The question which every astrologer asks is: What are the operative forces that determine my fate despite my conscious intention? And every psychoanalyst wants to know: What are the unconscious drives behind the neurosis?1 - C.G. Jung Gods and the Psyche Both astrology and psychoanalysis have similar root metaphors as both disciplines involve questions of fate and the human soul. Psychoanalysis is microscopic exploring psychodynamic images, while astrology is telescopic considering heavenly symbols; but both consider the fate of the human and collective soul. Modern astrology has profited considerably through the lifework of C.G. Jung and his skilful articulation of the psychic landscape and its symbolic inhabitants. Conversely the conception of some of Jung’s ideas was influenced by astrological intelligence, which he acknowledged many times in his work.2 Jung’s ideas broadened the astrological spectrum. Due to the influence and contributions of his ideas, astrologers embraced a more psychologically-orientated astrology. Still today his enquiry into the nature of symbols and the symbolic process remains a vital question underpinning the quality of astrological work. Carl Jung re-placed the gods in the midst of psychological work. As ‘personifications of unconscious contents’3, the gods revealed themselves on the psychic landscape just as the earliest astrologers had observed the gods in the constellations. In a way Jung’s excavation of the unconscious and its archetypal inhabitants was akin to early Mesopotamian astral divination, yet now the gods were no longer enthroned in the sky, but positioned on the psychic landscape. Therefore the link between honouring the gods of psyche and the gods of heaven inspired modern astrologers to amplify the signs and planets from an archetypal and mythic perspective.

  • Jung on Astrology
    Jung on Astrology Jung on Astrology brings together C. G. Jung’s thoughts on astrology in a single volume for the fi rst time, signifi cantly adding to our understanding of his work. Jung’s Collected Works , seminars, and letters contain numerous discussions of this ancient divinatory system, and Jung himself used astrological horoscopes as a diagnostic tool in his analytic practice. Understood in terms of his own psychology as a symbolic representation of the archetypes of the collective unconscious, Jung found in astrology a wealth of spiritual and psychological meaning and suggested it represents the “sum of all the psychological knowledge of antiquity.” The selections and editorial introductions by Safron Rossi and Keiron Le Grice address topics that were of critical importance to Jung – such as the archetypal symbolism in astrology, the precession of the equinoxes and astrological ages, astrology as a form of synchronicity and acausal correspondence, the qualitative nature of time, and the experience of astrological fate – allowing readers to assess astrology’s place within the larger corpus of Jung’s work and its value as a source of symbolic meaning for our time. The book will be of great interest to analytical psychologists, Jungian psy- chotherapists, and academics and students of depth psychology and Jungian and post-Jungian studies, as well as to astrologers and therapists of other orientations, especially transpersonal. Safron Rossi, PhD, is a Professor of mythology and depth psychology in the Jungian and Archetypal Studies specialization at Pacifi ca Graduate Institute, Cali- fornia. For many years she was curator of the Joseph Campbell and James Hillman manuscript collections.

  • Prophecy, Cosmology and the New Age Movement: the Extent and Nature of Contemporary Belief in Astrology
    PROPHECY, COSMOLOGY AND THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT: THE EXTENT AND NATURE OF CONTEMPORARY BELIEF IN ASTROLOGY NICHOLAS CAMPION A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of the West of England, Bristol for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Bath Spa University College Study of Religions Department, Bath Spa University College June 2004 Acknowledgments I would like to acknowledge helpful comments and assistance from Sue Blackmore, Geoffrey Dean, Ronnie Dreyer, Beatrice Duckworth, Kim Farnell, Chris French, Patrice Guinard, Kate Holden, Ken Irving, Suzy Parr and Michelle Pender. I would also like to gratefully thank the Astrological Association of Great Britain (AA), The North West Astrology Conference (NORWAC), the United Astrology Congress (UAC), the International Society for Astrological Research (ISAR) and the National Council for Geocosmic Research (NCGR) for their sponsorship of my research at their conferences. I would also like to thank the organisers and participants of the Norwegian and Yugoslavian astrological conferences in Oslo and Belgrade in 2002. Ill Abstract Most research indicates that almost 100% of British adults know their birth-sign. Astrology is an accepted part of popular culture and is an essential feature of tabloid newspapers and women's magazines, yet is regarded as a rival or, at worst, a threat, by the mainstream churches. Sceptical secular humanists likewise view it as a potential danger to social order. Sociologists of religion routinely classify it as a cult, religion, new religious movement or New Age belief. Yet, once such assumptions have been aired, the subject is rarely investigated further. If, though, astrology is characterised as New Age, an investigation of its nature may shed light on wider questions, such as whether many Christians are right to see New Age as a competitor in the religious market place.
