Carl G. Jung on Astrology

The book Jung on Astrology, selected and introduced by professors Keiron Le Grice and Safron Rossi (2018) brings together Jung's thoughts on astrology in a single volume. They write:

The astrological horoscope, Carl Jung observed in a letter of 1954, "corresponds to a definite moment in the colloquy of the gods, that is to say the psychic archetypes." This statement, one of many similar assertions made throughout his life, is illustrative of Jung's belief that astrology can provide symbolic insight into the workings of the human psyche. (Le Grice and Rossi 2018, 1)

At root, both astrology and Jungian psychology might be seen as being engaged with the critical task of developing greater self-knowledge, of bringing to awareness the unconscious factors underlying our life experience. (Ibid. 2).

Also:

We are born at a given moment in a given place and like vintage years of wine we have the qualities of the year and of the season in which we are born. - Carl G. Jung

There is really a curious coincidence between astrological and psychological facts, so that one can isolate time from the characteristics of an individual, and also, one can deduce characteristics from a certain time. Therefore we have to conclude that what we call psychological motives are in a way identical with star positions . . . We must form a peculiar hypothesis. This hypothesis says that the dynamics of our psyche is not just identical with the position of the stars . . . better to assume that it is a phenomenon of time - Carl G. Jung in 1929

Obviously astrology has much to offer psychology, but what the latter can offer its elder sister is less evident. So far as I judge, it would seem to me advantageous for astrology to take the existence of psychology into account, above all the psychology of the personality and of the unconscious. - Carl G. Jung

While studying astrology I have applied it to concrete cases many times. ... The experiment is most suggestive to a versatile mind, unreliable in the hands of the unimaginative, and dangerous in the hands of a fool, as those intuitive methods always are. . . . It is an apt tool only when used intelligently. - Carl G. Jung, in C. G. Jung: Letters, volume 2, 1951-1961, pages 463-464, letter to Robert L. Kroon, 15 November 1958.

A Birth Horoscope of Carl G. Jung

Carl Gustav Jung was born on 26 July 1875, at 7:32? pm in Kesswil, Switzerland. The exact minutes for his birth time vary among the sources. As a result, some give late Capricorn rising (= a Capricorn Ascendant) and others give early Aquarius. If late is Capricorn rising, then the Midheaven is in Scorpio, not Sagittarius.
