Astrology and Personality

Noel Tyl's Astrology and Personality translates for the first time ever, psychological theories of personality into astrological terms and techniques. It explores the theories of the giants of modern osychology: Kurt Lewin, Carl Jung, Henry Murray, Alfred Adler, Sigmund Freud and others. It correlates their major insights, the unconscious, the hierarchy of needs, inferiority and superiority complexes, among others, with horoscope determinants: the Moon, for example, becomes the mirror of the "reigning need"; Saturn becomes the symbol of the superego; a matrix of the unconscious is formulated among the Houses, Signs, and planets. A major chapter defines psychological terms through astrolocial notation. Theory is illuminated through brilliant and provacative analyses of private and public horoscopes, among them Houdini's, Edgar Cayce's, Freud's and Nixon's, the interpretation gaining the dimension of rich psychological analysis. The horoscope becomes a hologram of identity. This master volume is infused with a vision of the modern astrologer's mission. To be of service, he must be able to integrate the insights of modern psychology. He must appreciate the complexities of his times, so that his interpretations may deliniate the "responsibility of individual freedom" within the "grander social whole" and allow for the "management of tensions within change." --- from book's introductory page
