ABSTRACT
The astrological sources C. G. Jung cited for public consumption in the Collected Works are those that the passing centuries have transformed into historical artefacts. Jung acquired early editions of a number of Leo’s texts, some of which were initially published as articles in Alan Leo’s own journal, Modern Astrology. The ‘Future Prospects’ section of the ‘Special Chart’, which covers the precise period of Jung’s break with Freud, the publication of Psychology of the Unconscious, and the beginning of work on Liber Novus, also suggests that Jung may have been seeking astrological insights to help with the growing tensions between himself and Freud. Max Heindel’s organisation offered correspondence courses in both ‘Rosicrucian Philosophy’ and astrology; Jung apparently enrolled in the latter. The cross-fertilisation between Jung’s astrology and Jung’s astrologers – and between Jung’s astrology and the various depth and transpersonal psychologies that have emerged from his work – is proving to be a rich and enduring one.
