Astrology and psychology 

The birth chart shows both inner and outer circumstances, making the link between the two—thus, it shows how you can change your outer circumstances through a better understanding of your inner psychology and motivations.

With astrology, the emphasis is on personal understanding and personal growth, so that you are not just reacting to life but fully living it by being yourself, becoming who you are meant to be.

Traditional and psychological astrology

In recent times, older traditional forms of astrology have been revived and renewed for a contemporary audience. Perhaps the most significant development though has been the incorporation of depth psychology, resulting in “psychological astrology”, which has flourished over the past few decades. Psychology has provided what astrology naturally lacks—a theory of human behavior and personality development. For instance, Jung’s theory of the unconscious, the concept of archetypes, and the Self as the product of an individuation process have made a very fruitful marriage with astrology.
