Astrology within Archetypal Psychology Stack
Here is part 2 of 3 of post series: Carl Gustav Jung and Depth Psychology texts on Astrology within Archetypal Psychology, up next Alchemy and kabbalah See prev for Kundalini and Active Imagination.
From Carl Gustav Jung on Astrology: "It strikes me as significant, particularly in regard to our hypothesis of a multiple consciousness and its phenomena, that the characteristic alchemical vision of sparks scintillating in the blackness of the arcane substance should, for Paracelsus, change into the spectacle of the "interior firmament" and its stars. He beholds the darksome psyche as a star-strewn night sky, whose planets and fixed constellations represent the archetypes in all their luminosity and projection, in which are reflected the mythologies, i.e., the archetypes. In this vision astrology and alchemy, the two classical functionaries of the psychology of the collective unconscious, join hands." Carl Gustav Jung
From Liz Greene: "Jung seemed to view the two modes of perception, mythic and astrological, as inextricably entwined; both are symbolic representations of the archetypal dominants of the collective unconscious. As he wrote to Freud in 1911, astrology provided him with the key to myth, since the earliest mythic narratives were woven around the observation and interpretation of the heavenly bodies, and myth likewise appears to have provided him with the key to astrology, as demonstrated in his analysis of the horoscope."
