Psychological astrology approaches the birth chart as a symbolic map of meaning rather than prediction. This course explores astrology through the ideas of thinkers such as Dane Rudhyar and Liz Greene, drawing on Jungian psychology and modern perspectives. We examine how charts can be interpreted as tools for reflection, insight and personal narrative, and how astrological meaning has evolved in response to changing cultural contexts.
