What is Depth Astrology?

Carl Jung said that analogy- making is the central organizing principle of the psyche.

In other words, we continually and spontane- ously create images to make sense of our lives.

To wit:

“I feel like my head’s going to explode!”
“She thinks she’s my mother.”
“There’s a wall between us.”

We perceive that many of the things we go through (if not all of them) are like something else. Images of those something elses come out when we speak, when we feel, when we dream, when we make art, when we imagine — so that we can see and know ourselves better. It is often quite difficult, and sometimes even impossible, to look directly at ourselves. But to look at something that is like ourselves, well, that is a great deal easier, and often more productive.

The horoscope chart is the only metaphor in the world that reflects your — and only your – psyche with the degree of complexity, nuance and completeness needed to accurately unravel your continually evolving life experiences.

Astrology is a complex system for organizing the analogy-making that we do all the time. Your horoscope chart is populated with the major metaphors, called archetypes, that your psyche naturally uses to describe its experiences. Those archetypes exist in an ordered format that, engaged correctly, can help focus and streamline your self-understanding. And because your chart is unique in all the world, the archetypes are arranged there in the nuanced and unique way that reflects you — and only you.

Your chart, then, is the mythic structure of your individual psyche, told in metaphorical language. And because it is metaphorical, the chart enables you to grasp your own story in a way that is often obstructed by more naked confrontation of the self. Your chart helps you understand yourself and the situations you face through the fertile medium of metaphor.

Depth astrology is a practice of engaging life’s major metaphors, or archetypes, in the precise way that you experience them in your individual psyche. Depth astrology readings guide you through the process of making sense of your own story through the images that best describe your experience.

And then, by understanding your own story, you can begin to write it to your own specifications.
