As of this writing there are 56 posts on this blog focused on Jungian personality typology, with a heavy emphasis on John Beebe’s archetypal model. This is a topic I will continue to blog about.
Beginning next week I will start adding posts about astrology and personality types into the mix. This recent Instagram post of mine gives you an idea of what some of those posts will be like (please feel free to follow me on Instagram).
Part of what I want to explore is to see how the planet archetypes in one’s birth chart might match up with the archetypes in Beebe’s personality type model.
I recently completed the year two certification course in Advanced Hellenistic Astrology at Nightlight Astrology, so I feel inclined now to start writing a bit about astrology. In addition to giving readings for people, I want to use my astrological knowledge to enhance my Jungian studies. Insights from astrology can help us more specifically address and become more conscious of the one-sidedness that our personality types make us aware of. Jung used astrology with his clients, as Liz Greene writes about in Jung’s Studies on Astrology.
Speaking of Liz Greene I will draw heavily upon her writings in the astrology and personality posts. She is a Jungian analyst, astrologer, and an academic with a PhD. In time you will probably see her work referenced here as often as I have cited John Beebe’s.
As is always this case with my blog posts here, it is not about me having answers, but exploring and combining the ideas from Jung, Beebe, Greene, and others. I think we need their insights more than ever these days. Thanks for reading!
