Naw... I'm outa here...

I remember reading Psychology and alchemy, Psychological types, and his work on schizofreny, I don?t recall the name, and some others works by him and other followers like Whitmont. Yes, amzolt, sometimes the threads get a little too disputatious. But, with all do respect, do you have noticed that ...

Since this thread seems to be becoming rather disputatious It has, and you haven't been helping, as you've taken a rather authoritarian approach in your replies. You might start looking for answers within yourself if the information I've offered disagrees with your personal theories... Personal the...

First, I don?t see in anything in Jung?s work that would validate the assumption that his theory is empirical oriented.

Have you read deeply about his work with clients?

Jung based his psychology theories on a life-time of empirical interaction with people of all types. But are they correct? Any form of astrology is an expression of an underlying psychology. Why? Since this thread seems to be becoming rather disputatious, I think I'll leave the answers of those que...

It seems to make sense on paper, but perhaps Jung defined his Types outside the boundaries of 'just astrology', and had more of a shamanic 'ideal' in mind when it came aligning polarities. Two questions: What, in your opinion, is "just astrology"? Do you really feel Jung only worked on &q...

Yes, but... it shouldn't come as such a shock, that when someone spends more energy defending the depth of their well than providing actual sustenance for discussion, they could very well be seen as compensating... One more attempt to clarify my position. In Jung's typology, Intuition and Sensation...

There are things in the chart we can work with to help order the life. I see that as an important part, if not the most important part of natal astrology. I'm glad you see that there are things in the chart that can help order a life. What confounds me about your position is that you don't see how ...

Connections... ?

Actually, "classical" (the word you used) and "traditional" (the word I used) are similar but not identical.

If you're looking for internal development, fine, there are some really fine astrologers who apparently do quite a bit this way. As for me, I came, I saw, and I left that kind of astrology unimpressed. Whatever floats your boat. I am an astrologer who began my studies over 40 years ago and, as most...

I could list all the Uranus, Neptune, Pluto transits in my life that coincided with absolutely nothing in my life, and I'm over 60 years old. I, too, am over 60... But, I'm curious. It's been a long time since I believed that placements or aspects in a chart had to have physical, external manifesta...

I would expect that your unique life experience during the conjunction will be challenged about now or in the next few months. This is not to say that everything positive will be undone, but that the challenge will give you an opportunity to define and clarify the changes that came into your life p...
