Dynamics of the Unconscious: Seminars in Psychological Astrology, Vol. 2

This work shed light on the darker side of the adult personality--those unconscious dynamics that need to be confronted so we can grow to find the wisdom within. The authors of The Development of the Personality team up again to show how the dynamics of depth psychology work with your birth chart. Howard Sasportas discusses the astrology and psychology of aggression. He focuses on the two faces of Mars--as destructive blind aggression and as an affirmation of autonomy and individuality. He then investigates the quest for the sublime--the experience of meaning--as it expresses through Jupiter in the birthchart, and focuses on the deep fears that keep us from reaching the Higher Self. Liz Greene talks about the other side of aggression: depression. She suggests that depression is a part of a process that leads to fuller life expression, and shows how depression reveals itself astrologically. She ends the book with the alchemical symbolism contained in the horoscope, helping readers understand various stages of psychological and spiritual development and how alchemy can be used to illuminate the developmental meanings of particular astrological aspects, transits and progression. Not only an important reference for counseling astrologers, this work also for anyone looking for special insight into the self.
