The Psychology of Astrology

The Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Carl Jung studied astrology for over 40 years, and was primarily interested in the way astrology could help to explore the psyche. For Jung, astrology represents the sum of all the psychological knowledge of antiquity. The notion of seeing mythic narratives through patterns in the heavens is one of the earliest attempts to link the outer world with the inner world.

The well-known Hermetic dictum, β€œAs above, so below,” is key to astrology. It is the idea that man (the microcosm), is influenced by the universe (the macrocosm). That is to say, truths about the nature of the cosmos may be inferred from truths about human nature, and vice versa.

At the exact moment of birth, each person receives the typical qualities of the libido or energy which is characteristic of him or her. Time, or the moment understood as a peculiar form of energy, seems to coincide with our psychological condition. For Jung, this leads to a peculiar hypothesis, that our personality does not have to do with the position of the stars, but rather with the qualitative effect of time, also called synchronicity, based on the ancient Stoic concept of cosmic sympathy.

    Bro, I listen to your content during my long walks in nature early in the morning. I just want to say thank you for all the efforts you and your team meticulously put in, while making these videos which make my day more brighter and the healing process of my soul a lot more easier to deal with. Thank you πŸ™
  • @Archeidos-Arcana
    Astrology seems to be going through a modern day revival, intellectually... as people are moving beyond a lot of the surface level notions we initially conceived of under a materialist ontology and metaphysics. We tend to forget, that we have no idea what the fundamental nature of reality is - and that regardless of it, there is a rhythm to the universe. The celestial bodies are a the timeless tool for measuring those changes across the aeons, for understanding patterns which may otherwise remain unfathomable.

    It really is crazy how closely this page mirrors my own interests. β€œThere is no chance, coincidence, or accident in a universe ruled by law and divine order”
  • @bretkovar3671
    This video totally made me rethink my preconceived ideas of what astrology is and its potential value. Thank you Eternalised for yet again creating content that I consider unparalleled.
  • About 35 years ago, while studying the Psychology of Personality for my University degree, I started looking into Astrology - mostly to debunk it - & eventually found that it answered the question of "Where does Personality come from?" It's been called the "Owner's Manual" for the personality we have in this incarnation (the Natal Chart, that is), only it's written in a language of symbols...so once you learn this symbolic language (or find someone who knows it), you'll pretty much know how to approach & understand your Psyche. One important point to realize about the history of Astrology is that we couldn't have had a full picture of of what's really going on until the last 3 Planets were discovered, & their meanings ascertained (which took some time), & in addition, the Asteroids also carry a great deal of meaning, so it's only within the past 50 years or so that these have been studied. When you think about it, if someone has Asteroids like Pan, Bacchus, Nemesis, Hubris, Eros, etc. on an important point in the Natal Chart, those too will influence one's character & need to be interpreted. At this point, now that the calculations are easy enough to find, & most interpretations can be Googled, it's easier than ever to pursue this discipline, & seemingly more important than ever. What's ironic is that people ignore Esoteric Astrology because they think it affirms a deterministic outlook, when in fact, understanding Astrology & the future trends illustrated by Transits & Progressions gives you alternatives to the deterministic way people generally act, & offers options for decisions to make, securing true freewill. One thing that's important to remember is that Astrology is much more about the meanings & understanding of the Planets, Houses & Asteroids than about the Zodiac signs which, though meaningful, are more like fenceposts or guidelines. There's also the ability to truly know & understand others - even if you don't know their birth time, there's quite a lot you can find out about people looking at their Aspects (angles between significant points) from their birth date. Astrology is the most fulfilling endeavor I have ever encountered, & it has had such a profound influence on my life. I don't regret anything I've done in my life since I started working with it. This is a very good description of the knowledge I've discovered, far better than I would have expected...

    The inner workings of the mind are visible everywhere, not only in what we see but how we see it. It’s all a projection of the observer
  • I became a Patreon member due to my need to watch this video. I became transfixed when I saw your YouTube post of it. I knew it was important. This video is by far my favorite of your works. Astrology is something that is brushed aside so easily; and no wonder - we took away all of the magic within it. Recently I got back my birth certificate after some years. So it seems my next path is now clear. I cannot put into words my deep admiration for your work, and my deep appreciation for bringing such meaningful ideas into such simple to understand formats.
  • @teresam2023
    As a health scientist, nutrition psychologist, and medical astrology student, this video melted my heart and put a big smile on my face. I'm on a personal quest to build bridges between science and this ancient wisdom, and videos like this truly contribute to bringing back a serious and professional approach of astrology back to light.
  • @CosmicallyLIT
    As someone who has deeply studied Astrology for years, THANK YOU for this video! Brilliant! ✨️✨️✨️ I look forward to binging on your channel 🫢🏿🫢🏿🫢🏿
  • @user-pw9bh8vw4t
    Outstanding. Very grateful for your time, energy and effort to share. Thank you.
  • @deathbleu5741
    It's not a coincidence that I moved from astrology to Jung. Symbols and archetypes are key to understand the mind.
  • @rabidL3M0NS
    Woah I didn’t realise diabolic (throw apart) was the antonym of symbolic (throw together)! Makes perfect sense though! Man etymology is just fascinating.
  • @zsolthernadi4665
    As a sceptic i find this video and so far the only one, regarding this topic worth to watch and contemplate on it. No ez contemporary esoteric fakey shit, but drive back to the core. Ty bud
  • @SuperBenette
    It is our genetics, its not only about ourself, its our family , children and animals. Keppler changed my thinking of astrology, but the Egyptions are my favorite. Loved it , thanks.
  • My husband and my sister and my 2 best friends I've ever had both died in the same two weeks of each other. I look all over for every connection to find and any to keep of them. It has changed my life. In many different ways. Unimaginable ways.
  • Man..I don’t know who you are… but I just wanted to thank you for your work. Your summaries of Carl Jung’s writings especially have helped me so much over the last year. Much love
  • @saby777
    Finally a video that doesn't criticize astrology for being some mumbo-jumbo, and actually explains the core essence behind it. As an Astrologer, who is also very interested in metaphysics, quantum physics, history and even the pop-culture.. whenever anything happens anywhere it's my impulse to always check the astrology behind it. And everything makes so much sense logically. I once started with the more modernized version of Astrology, but then found great teachers, got their amazing books and the amount of history behind everything just blew my mind, and now I learned how connecting back to the ancient practice is so important. You literally have answers to everything. And a side note, the Age of Aquarius isn't anything fun. Because according to the thema mundi (the Natal Chart of Earth itself), Aquarius is over the 8th House of rebirth, transformation, debt and bonds. Sooo.. do with this info whatever you want. It isn't, astrologically speaking, starting until the mid 2100s or smth. Yeah, if the "Age of Aquarius" refers to all the new age stuff, then I'm not sure. They shouldn't be using the term Aquarius then. Because I'm sure the 8H isn't fun, not matter how many "futuristic" advancements we have.
