Winner of the IAJS award for best authored book of 2018!C. G. Jung had aprofound interest in and involvement with astrology, which he made clear invirtually every volume of the Collected Works, as well as in many of hisletters. This ancient symbolic system was of primary importance in hisunderstanding of the nature of time, the archetypes, synchronicity, and humanfate.Jung’s Studies in Astrology is an historical survey of his astrologicalwork from the time he began to study the subject. It is based not only on hispublished writings, but also on the correspondence and documents found in hisprivate archives, many of which have never previously seen the light of day.Liz Greene addresses with thoroughness and detailed scholarship the nature ofJung’s involvement with astrology: the ancient, medieval, and modern sourceshe drew on, the individuals from whom he learned, his ideas about how and whyit worked, its religious and philosophical implications, and its applicationsin the treatment of his patients as well as in his own self-understanding.Greene clearly demonstrates that any serious effort to understand thedevelopment of Jung’s psychological theories, as well as the nature of hisworld-view, needs to involve a thorough exploration of his astrologicalwork.This thorough investigation of a central theme in Jung’s work will appealto analytical psychologists and Jungian psychotherapists, students andacademics of Jungian and post-Jungian theory, the history of psychology,archetypal thought, mythology and folklore, the history of New Age movements,esotericism, and psychological astrology.
