The Astrology of Carl Jung - David Cochrane

As most astrologers and astrology students are aware, psychologist Carl Jung used Astrology in his practice with the more difficult to diagnose patients. But for some reason, I had previously missed the following analysis published in March 2015 by master astrologer David Cochrane and thought you might appreciate it in case you missed it, too:

As you know, this particular Swiss specialist on the personal-collective unconscious was plagued by serious father issues and if you're curious, here's a different view of Carl Gustav Jung's natal chart (rectified from an approximate time by Lois Rodden). For information about our earthly fathers we look first to planet Saturn in natal chart. As Jung's only retrograde planet, authoritative Saturn is in 1st house @24AQ11 of Self, trines Jupiter in Airy Libra, and is opposed by unpredictable, quirky Uranus in proud, bossy Leo across the Leo-Aquarius Self-Will axis. I imagine some serious head-butting and father-son competition occurred via this opposition, don't you? Plus, there's all the stubborn Fixed placements in Jung's chart with the exception of a Mutable Sagittarian Midheaven!

Of course, Sagittarius is ruled by fortunate Jupiter and his Jupiter trines Saturn, an aspect that astrologer Alan Oken labels, The Banker, and an aspect that undoubtedly aided him in his career and public reputation. After all, the professional reputation and pioneering work of Carl Jung has spread far and wide since his birth in 1875 and he continues to be the most famous psychologist in the world, don't you think?
