Yep...
they say that confession is good for the soul. So it's time
that I came out of the closet. Yep... I've decided that
the time is finally right to come totally clean.
Oh...
no... not THAT closet... for more years than I can
remember I've written that I originally
got interested in astrology based on my studies of the depth
psychology of Dr Carl
G Jung, MD.
Strange
but true, it was (in large part) my studies of Jung's
writings that eventually led directly to my current interest
and expertise
in the subject
of Western Tropical Astrology.
Good
grief...
in my studies I'd discovered that the Swiss psychiatrist Carl
G Jung was fascinated with the paranormal in general, conducted
and
published
astrological
experiments,
constantly made referrals to astrological symbolism in his
elucidation of archetypal material and the psyche, arranged
to have the astrological charts of his patients calculated,
and finally that he devoted an entire volume of his Collected
Works, Aion,
to the deeper meaning behind of the astrological Age of Aquarius...
So
don't get me wrong... it's
all true... as far it goes...
However
the second untold part of the story - as to how I initially
got interested in astrology
- is that I
had started
dating a woman... a woman that kept a copy of Linda Goodman's Love
Signs at the head of her bed. (Does this sound at
all familiar to any other guys out there?)
Anyway...
say what you want to and say what you will about Linda Goodman
and/or Sun Sign astrology... but the woman had an incredible
imagination,
was
a prolific writer with an engaging writing style,
and
she has single handedly introduced
several generations
of
women to astrology (and, indirectly, several generations of
guys).
