What is Psychological Astrology?

Psychological astrology is where the cosmos meets the complexity of your inner world. It’s about understanding the why behind your choices, emotions, and dreams—less about predicting your future. Pioneered by astrologers like Dane Rudhyar and Jungian analyst Liz Greene, it draws on concepts from Carl Jung's depth psychology, helping you uncover the characters, hidden stories and patterns shaping your life.

Pop Astrology vs. Psychological Astrology: Coffee Edition

Pop astrology can be like an espresso—strong, and offering an instant sense of clarity. It provides a quick hit, giving you a glimpse into your Sun sign and traits, and offering predictions or insights that bring a sense of comfort and certainty.

Psychological astrology, on the other hand, is a lungo—a slower, deeper brew that takes you through the layers of your astrological birth chart. Each sip (or insight) offers a richer, more complex understanding of who you are.

How It Works

Your birth chart is a map of the sky at the moment you were born, but it’s also a map of your inner world. Planets represent different parts of your personality (think Venus as your love language, Saturn as your boundary setter). Psychological astrology sees these planets and signs as archetypes—universal energies we all carry in different ways. Like a cast of characters on a cosmic stage, and you?
You’re the director.

Why It's Different

No Stereotypes: Your Sun sign isn’t the whole story. Psychological astrology explores all of your inner signs and planets and how they work together
Empowering, not predictive: It’s about working with your chart, not letting it define you
Practical and reflective: It’s a tool for understanding yourself, not just what you do, but why you do it

How Can It Help You?

If you’ve ever wondered, “Why do I keep repeating the same patterns?” or
“Why do I feel torn in different directions?”—psychological astrology can help uncover the answers.

The Birth Chart: A symbolic mirror of your inner world, showing your potential, strengths, and even the inner saboteur you didn’t know was lurking
Archetypes in Action: Understand your “inner team” and how they work together— or clash—so you can move through life with clarity and purpose
Starry Self-Discovery: It's not about fate—it’s about working with the energies in your chart to create a life that feels aligned

The Ancient Art of Self-Discovery

Carl Jung called astrology the “psychological knowledge of antiquity.”
By blending this ancient astrological wisdom with modern psychological insights, psychological astrology uncovers unconscious patterns, deepens self-understanding, and empowers you to direct your own life story.

Whether you prefer the instant clarity of an espresso or the layered depth of a lungo, psychological astrology invites you to sip on deeper insights and explore the layers of you.
