The Astral Hour

Episode 94 features a conversation between me and my husband Justin as we explore the profound intersection of astrology and Carl Jung's model of the psyche. We delve into how elements of the birth chart reflect core Jungian concepts such as the ego, shadow, anima/animus, and the Self, offering astrology as a symbolic language of the soul. Jung viewed astrology not as superstition but as a meaningful archetypal system, rooted in synchronicity and capable of revealing unconscious patterns while supporting the lifelong journey of individuation. In this episode, we reflect on the chart as a living mandala of the psyche, where each planetary placement corresponds to psychological forces and where myth, symbol, and personal experience converge to illuminate the inner landscape. You'll hear how zodiac signs, planets, and houses express archetypal energies, how transits activate unfolding cycles, and how engaging with your chart can foster greater self-awareness, integration, and healing. As Jung famously said, “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life, and you will call it fate.”Additional ResourcesJungian Symbolism in Astrology Alice O HowellOwning Your Shadow Robert JohnsonThe Planets Within: The Astrological Psychology of Marsilio Ficino Thomas MooreJung on Astrology 1st Edition  by  C.
