What is Astrology?

As a psychological language and diagnostic tool, astrology is a guide for the integrity and transformation of the personality. The planets should be seen not only as transmitters of physical influences but also as symbols of human functions. Each birth map is unique; each element is part of an organic whole. Events here are not isolated situations with lucky or unlucky effects. They are manifestations of developmental cycles in accordance with the evolutionary stage.

The Swiss psychoanalyst Carl Jung, who realised the great potential of astrology in exploring the depths of the human psyche, recognised the zodiac signs and planets as archetypal symbols of the collective unconscious. An archetype is both subjective and objective, moulding matter as well as mind. Their task in the birth map is to bridge the gap between internal processes and external events that reflect these processes.

The meaningful parallelism of momentary subjective states and external events occurring at the same time is called synchronicity. Therefore, the psychological structure of a person to be born will be parallel to the positions of the planets at that moment. The human psyche reflects the universal consciousness; it is also embedded in it. The psyche is a dynamic combination of opposing forces in balance. The birth chart is just like the psyche. It is not merely a product of external forces. It has a natural tendency to reach wholeness. Therefore, astrology can be seen as an auxiliary tool in the process of self-realisation of the psyche.
