In her 2018 book, Jung\u2019s Studies in Astrology<\/em>, the astrologer and Jungian analyst, Liz Greene wrote that Jung expressed an understanding \u201cthat planetary configurations\u2014the \u2018planetary gods\u2019 in relation to each other\u2014symbolize unconscious complexes, which are expressed imaginally through the mythic narratives that portray in symbolic form the structure and teleology of the complex.\u201d (p. 26) In this class we will look at the symbolic layers of the astrological chart with complexes as our focus.<\/p>\n

The popular, and often the clinical use of the term \u2018complexed\u2019 refers to a state in which ego consciousness is subsumed by a kind of sub-personality, or \u2018splinter psyche\u2019, as Jung observed early in his studies. But Jung also stressed that complexes are \u201ccharacteristic expressions of the psyche\u201d and the \u201cnormal phenomena of life.\u201d (Vol. 8) We will examine how the natal chart reveals the archetypal structure of our psyches and also indicates ways that certain configurations can \u201cconstellate\u201d as complexes.<\/p>\n

This course will endeavor to reveal some valuable psychological insights that astrology illuminates \u2014 insights into Jung\u2019s theoretical ideas, as well as into the direct experience of being \u2018possessed\u2019 by a complex. We will use sample charts to explore Greene\u2019s point\u2014crucial to a psychological perspective\u2014 that, \u201ccomplexes, like planetary fate, are negotiable in their level of expression if not in their essence.\u201d (Ibid, p. 28) We will be looking at the planets, signs and aspects through the lens of complexes, but it will be helpful to know the basic astrological meanings prior to the class, and to have this book on hand: Clare Martin\u2019s Mapping the Psyche: An Introduction to Psychological Astrology<\/em>, Volumes 1 and 2.<\/p>\n
