Psychological Astrology was born developed from an understanding of the works of Freud and Jung. Jung was fascinated with astrology, and cast horoscopes himself to "find a clue to the core of psychological truth.

Psychological Astrology looks at the birth chart as a map of who we are, our life journey, our complexes and can help us get a clearer picture of who we really are. It can help us work out our problems and clarify our goals.The application of psychological astrology makes a powerful tool for counselling and life management. It gives an incredibly helpful insight into areas such as lack of a sense of direction, low self confidence, conflicts in relationships, health, sexuality, love, vocation, addiction, depression and much more.

Probably the best known exponent of psychological astrology is Dr Liz Greene. A Jungian analyst, she set up the Centre for Psychological Astrology in London in 1983 with the late Howard Sasportas, a psychosynthesis psychotherapist.
