What Did Carl Jung Say About Astrology?

Описание: Two quotes about what Carl Jung said about astrology, and how he incorporated it into his life and work.

The first quote comes from a letter that Jung wrote to Freud in 1911:

“My evenings are taken up very largely with astrology. I make horoscopic calculations in order to find a clue to the core of psychological truth.”

The second quote is from a letter that Carl Jung wrote to astrologer B.V. Raman in 1947:

"Since you want to know my opinion about astrology I can tell you that I’ve been interested in this particular activity of the human mind for more than 30 years. As I am a psychologist, I am chiefly interested in the particular light the horoscope sheds on certain complications in the character. In cases of difficult psychological diagnosis I usually get a horoscope in order to have a further point of view from an entirely different angle. I must say that I very often found that the astrological data elucidated certain points which I otherwise would have been unable to understand. From such experiences I formed the opinion that astrology is of particular interest to the psychologist."
