Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) was one of the pioneers of modern depth psychology and psychoanalysis. Born near Basle, and working mostly in Zurich, Switzerland, he first became a physician and then entered the emerging field of psychoanalytic psychiatry. Through his personal experience, his work with patients, and copious research, Jung developed ideas and methods of inquiry that have deepened and broadened our understandings of personality, psychodynamics, and the shaping energies of social history.
Over time, his ideas and methods of investigation have profoundly influenced the humanities, the arts, psychotherapy, religious studies, and many other fields. Many of Jung’s concepts have entered the mainstream of our language and culture: complex, archetype, persona, shadow, introvert, extravert, typology, collective unconscious, and others.
Jung believed that most of our questions, most of our sufferings, arise from the distresses of the human “soul,” which is the original meaning of the Greek word psyche. His work invites a new form of dialogue between ego consciousness and the “soul,” the latter being approachable only through our effort to understand our symptoms, our inexplicable life patterns, our compensatory dreams, and so on. This dialogue serves as a form of psycho-spiritual enlargement in which one is able to contain more opposites rather than be split by them.
Moving to Uranian astrology and his natal chart I will be working with the midpoint of MC/PO (One’s own spiritualization. The divine spark in man. The godlike part in man.
One’s own spiritualization). I chose specifically this midpoint cause as a psychiatrist he introduced to and he worked a lot with spiritual issues even though he also worked with advanced psychological interpretations and brought new concepts that moved psychology even further to more spiritual terms.

What Carl G. Jung said about astrology:
Astrology, is like the collective unconscious with which psychology is concerned, consists of symbolic configurations: The planets are the gods, symbols of the powers of the unconscious
Jung calls the astrology the intuitive method. He declared on multiple occasions that he verified that certain psychological states or specific events correlated with planetary movement.Particularly when Saturn and Uranus were affected he declared in 1954 during an interview.
Carl Jung on Astrology:
At the moment I am looking into astrology, which seems indispensable for a proper understanding of mythology. There are strange and wondrous things in these lands of darkness. Please, don’t worry about my wanderings in these infinitudes. I shall return laden with rich booty for our knowledge of the human psyche. – C.G. Jung in a letter to Sigmund Freud, May 8, 1911
Astrology is one of the intuitive methods like the I Ching, geomantics, and other divinatory procedures. It is based upon the synchronicity principle, i.e. meaningful coincidence. … Astrology is a naively projected psychology in which the different attitudes and temperaments of man are represented as gods and identified with planets and zodiacal constellations. – C.G. Jung
Astrology is of particular interest to the psychologist, since it contains a sort of psychological experience which we call projected – this means that we find the psychological facts as it were in the constellations. This originally gave rise to the idea that these factors derive from the stars, whereas they are merely in a relation of synchronicity with them. I admit that this is a very curious fact which throws a peculiar light on the structure of the human mind. …. C.G. Jung in 1947 in a letter to prof. B.V. Raman
The collective unconscious…appears to consist of mythological motifs or primordial images, for which reason the myths of all nations are its real exponents. In fact the whole of mythology could be taken as a sort of projection of the collective unconscious. We can see this most clearly if we look at the heavenly constellations, whose originally chaotic forms are organized through the projection of images. This explains the influence of the stars as asserted by astrologers. These influences are nothing but unconscious, introspective perceptions of the collective unconscious. – C.G. Jung
As I am a psychologist, I’m chiefly interested in the particular light the horoscope sheds on certain complications in the character. In cases of difficult psychological diagnosis I usually get a horoscope in order to have a further point of view from an entirely different angle. I must say that I have very often found that the astrological data elucidated certain points which I otherwise would have been unable to understand. C.G. Jung
His research led him to Paracelsus, whom he greatly valued, as he regarded him as a pioneering spirit and practitioner of his day. For Jung, Paracelsus had the knowledge and ability to see man as a whole beyond the physical context, taking into account the psychic factor through his theory of psychologically living matter.
The spiritual climax is reached at the moment when life ends. Human life, therefore, is the vehicle of the highest perfection it is possible to attain; it alone generates the karma that makes it possible for the dead man to abide in the perpetual light of the Voidness without clinging to any object, and thus to rest on the hub of the wheel of rebirth, freed from all illusion of genesis and decay. ~Carl Jung, Psychology and Religion, Page 524-525, Para 856.
I do not know whether Karma creates the ego or the ego creates Karma. ~Carl Jung, Conversations with C.G. Jung, Page 43.
