Jung on Astrology brings together C. G. Jung's thoughts on
astrology in a single volume for the first time, significantly
adding to our understanding of Jung's 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
psychotherapists and academics and students of depth psychology,
Jungian and post-Jungian studies, as well as to astrologers and
therapists of other orientations, especially transpersonal.

The modern world is passing through a time of critical change on
many levels: cultural, political, ecological and spiritual. We are
witnessing the decline and dissolution of the old order, the tumult
and uncertainty of a new birth. Against this background, there is
an urgent need for a coherent framework of meaning to lead us
beyond the growing fragmentation of culture, belief and personal
identity. Keiron Le Grice argues that the developing insights of a
new cosmology could provide this framework, helping us to discover
an underlying order shaping our life experiences. In a compelling
synthesis of the ideas of seminal thinkers from depth psychology
and the new paradigm sciences, Le Grice positions the new
discipline of archetypal astrology at the centre of an emerging
world view that reunifies psyche and cosmos, spirituality and
science, mythology and metaphysics, and enables us to see mythic
gods, heroes and themes in a fresh light. He draws especially on
the work of C. G. Jung, Joseph Campbell, Richard Tarnas, Fritjof
Capra, David Bohm and Brian Swimme. Heralding a 'rediscovery of the
gods' and the passage into a new spiritual era, The Archetypal
Cosmos presents a new understanding of the role of myth and
archetypal principles in our lives, one that could give a cosmic
perspective and deeper meaning to our personal experiences.
In astrology, each planet in our solar system is symbolically
associated with specific archetypes, characteristics, themes and
patterns in human experience. The discovery in 2005 of Eris -- a
dwarf planet beyond Pluto -- was therefore an event of great
significance for astrology as well as astronomy. In this unique
book, Keiron Le Grice considers the astrological significance of
Eris. How, he asks, can we determine Eris's meaning? What
archetypal themes is it associated with? In what ways might the
myths of Eris, the Greek goddess of strife, be relevant to the
astrological meaning? What can Eris's discovery tell us about the
evolutionary challenges we now face? Drawing on a wide variety of
perspectives -- including mythology, ecology, religion, history,
philosophy and Jungian psychology -- Le Grice carefully constructs
a multi-faceted picture of Eris's possible meaning, helping to
illuminate the unprecedented events of our time and providing clues
to our possible future directions.
