The Astrology of Personality

The Astrology of Personality, written by Dane Rudhyar in 1936, is a groundbreaking work that seeks to reformulate traditional astrological concepts and ideals in terms of contemporary psychology and philosophy. The book is a comprehensive exploration of the relationship between astrology and human personality, and aims to provide a deeper understanding of how astrological symbolism can be used to gain insight into the complexities of the human psyche.Rudhyar's approach to astrology is rooted in the belief that the individual is the central focus of the astrological chart, and that the chart represents a symbolic map of the individual's psyche. He argues that the astrological symbols and archetypes are not static, but rather dynamic and evolving, and that their meaning is shaped by the individual's personal experiences and psychological development.The book is divided into three parts, each of which explores a different aspect of the relationship between astrology and personality. Part one provides an overview of the basic principles of astrology, including the zodiac, planets, and houses. Part two delves deeper into the psychological and philosophical implications of astrological symbolism, and examines the role of astrology in personal growth and self-discovery. Part three offers practical guidance on how to use astrology as a tool for personal transformation, including techniques for interpreting astrological charts and working with astrological symbolism in therapeutic settings.Overall, The Astrology of Personality is a seminal work that has had a profound impact on the field of astrology and psychology. It remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in exploring the intersection of these two disciplines, and offers a wealth of insights and practical guidance for those seeking to deepen their understanding of themselves and others through the lens of astrology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
