Mapping the Human Psyche: A Depth Astrology Approach to Planetary Meanings

Gargatholil presents a deeper dive into planetary meanings than found in the Introduction to his 4-volume work, Depth Astrology: An Astrological Handbook. In Mapping the Human Psyche, they identify the core essential meaning of each astrological planet, the spiritual task associated with that planet, and show how the various keywords associated with the planet derive from its essential meaning.Gargatholil combines Neoplatonic and psychological frameworks to arrive at a proposed essence of each planet and major astrological point. They identify the essence of each planet with its psychological function, providing an astrological "e;map"e; of the human psyche.Employing the principle that multiplicity derives from unity, Gargatholil breaks down each essential meaning into its prime components and then explores how they manifest in still more differentiated meanings. Along the way, they provide insight not only to how the various "e;keyword"e; definitions for planetary meanings have evolved and inter-relate with each other, but to the workings of the human mind as expressed both individually and collectively.For those to whom astrology is more than a predictive tool but rather a key to an exploration of life's deeper meanings, Mapping the Human Psyche is sure to become a classic text.
