Astrology is a symbolic language which may seem strange at first, but
becomes a valuable tool for insights which could help you understand
the meaning of your own perceptions about yourself and others, and
what is really going on in the world you live in. Some interesting
comments by Dr Carl Jung on symbols:
The Patterns
1. A Planet is...WHAT ENERGY NEEDS TO BE EXPRESSED OR UNDERSTOOD
2. A Sign is.....HOW IT MANIFESTS as drives or personal style
3. A House is....WHERE IT MANIFESTS as situations or events.
Another way to express this would be:
1. The Planet is....a PSYCHOLOGICAL FUNCTION [or an Objective]
2. Its Sign is......its METHOD or MODE OF OPERATION [or its
Strategy]
3. Its House is.....its AREA OF APPLICATION [or its Terrain]
The Forms - Sub-Themes
A Planet is:
1. a PSYCHOLOGICAL FUNCTION [or a Spiritual Ideal]
2. a CAPACITY to EXPRESS a certain PART OF THE PSYCHE
3. a POTENTIAL ENERGY which SEEKS EXPRESSION
4. a DRIVE or MOTIVATION TO BE or BECOME or DO
5. a DESIRE to ACT OUT a CERTAIN THEME
6. a NEED or HUNGER which SEEKS SATISFACTION
7. an OBJECTIVE which USES THE STRATEGY OF A SIGN
8. an ENERGY which has POSITIVE & NEGATIVE POLARITIES
9. a CURRICULUM of LESSONS to be learned.
A Sign is:
1. a PSYCHOLOGICAL PROCESS, working out a FUNCTION
2. a MANNER of EXPRESSING certain parts of THE PSYCHE
3. a WAY of EXPRESSING a POTENTIAL ENERGY
4. a FILTER to FOCUS & COLOUR a DRIVE or MOTIVATION
5. a STRATEGY for ACTING OUT a certain THEME

7. a STRATEGY to achieve the OBJECTIVE of a PLANET
8. a POSITIVE or NEGATIVE EXPRESSION of an ENERGY
9. a WAY of EMPHASIZING certain LESSONS to be learned
10. an EVOLUTIONARY METHOD, a WAY of GROWING.
A House is:
1. a MANIFESTATION of a PSYCHOLOGICAL PROCESS
2. a FIELD of ACTIVITY for THE PSYCHE
3. a PLACE or SITUATION in which to EXPRESS an ENERGY
4. a DIRECTION for a DRIVE or MOTIVATION to MANIFEST
5. a THEATRE where certain THEMES are ACTED OUT
