The Art of Archetypal Astrology
December 2, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm PST
Depth psychology and archetypal astrology are complementary disciplines. This workshop offers a basic foundation in astrological techniques which can be applied to psychological practice, whether as a clinician or for personal inquiry. A brief history of archetypes, the symbolism of the planets and the zodiac, planetary aspects, and the procedure for calculating transits will all be taught, along with examples from art, culture, and history. This workshop may be a gateway to astrology for some, while it can also be a deepening of the archetypal perspective for those already with an astrological practice.
