Fascinating. It helps me enormously that you indicate the planet associated with the event, i.e., disconnected (Uranus) because it helps me connect qualities or rulerships with each planet or luminary. For example I didn't know Uranus rules disconnection so I will look for this characteristic in my chart and transits.
As an aside, as a mental health worker, I often wish I could get my hands on my clients' charts and see if there is a transit or a natal configuration that has caused (or is causing) a difficulty!
Great!! Thank You
Hi Lynn,
Have you read Jung's book, "Man and His Symbols"? I believe (it says in the book) he had a dream when he was older that he should write a book for the average person instead of his more intellectual books. I have the illustrated version- it's phenomenal and written by additional authors.
Did you you "innate UNreliability" ??
Love your posts Lynn..intelligent, meaningful and well written...thanks so much for all your good work!
Collectively aren't we all "in the middle of a transformational experience [one] so uncomfortable that we don't recognize its value." Jung's Red book speaks to this time...that one can go through hell and survive?
I love reading your insights, and certainly great to see another astrologer's post on Jung's Red Book. With the Dan Brown's DaVinci Code and now the Lost Symbol being so popular...I feel the Red Book is going to Brown another novel. LOL. Thanks!
Lynn, thanks again for what you do. The release of this book is extraordinarily timely, no? I remember reading that that there was work he felt it irresponsible to publish in his own lifetime. I am drawn to him as much as ever, maybe because i have that sun square Neptune. x
I just finished reading Jung: A Biography, by Diedre Bair. Excellent book with detailed footnotes based on extensive access to family and other close sources. She believes that Jung's level of psychological impairment during this period was exaggerated by Aneila Jaffe, who co-authored (shaping his input)his "autobiography" Memories. Bair notes a great deal of professional activity, and believes Jung, at 80, pumped up the story a bit. I can't wait to see The Red Book!
This takes nothing away from your comments. I love your blog and radio show. Keep up the wonderful work!

Hi - sorry I've been AWOL! Thanks for all of your comments, this has been such an interesting story.
Joe - one of my dreams for years has been to work with psychologists. I've even offered to review charts for free and not one has taken me up on it. I should probably be a little more serious and do some marketing in that area.
Matahari - funny about that Sun square Neptune in this particular situation. The combination of planets is so interesting here.
Anyway - thanks for taking the time to share your views!
Really enjoyed it. My reading list just grew a bunch!
