Carl G Jung was born July the 26th, 1875 at 7:27 pm*** in Kesswil, Switzerland. He died June the 6th, 1961 at his home located in Kusnacht, Switzerland.

One of the best ways I could think of to sum up of the life, work, and times of Carl Jung was by relying on an astrological birth chart "sensitive point" commonly called the Part of Fortune.

Solar Fire Interpretations Text (thought I'd use an impartial, third party interpretation)

PT FORTUNE IN SCORPIO For you, regeneration equals joy. Inspiring courage and transformation in others is a key to your fulfilment.

PT FORTUNE IN THE 9TH HOUSE Your greatest joy is experienced through the discovery of truth. You need to be aware of the duality between worldly and spiritual realms.

For those of you reading this section who are already familiar with Jung's life and writings? Could that description possibly be any better or closer in hitting the target regarding Jung?

*** Please note: the time of birth given above is based on the actual birth chart placements as calculated and used by Carl G Jung's astrologer daughter, Gret that placed his Ascendant at 2.5 degrees of Aquarius, his Midheaven at 29 degrees of Scorpio, and his Sun in the 7th house. (Sources: Spring Journal 1975 and 1999)

"During those summer holidays of 1898, from July until roughly September 10, transiting Uranus stood exactly at my father's MC, at 29 degrees Scorpio." excerpt from Spring Journal 1975 Gret Baumann-Jung

I confess that the Spring Journal 1975 chart time specified for Carl G Jung's birth is 7:32 pm. However, using today's incredibly precise astrology calculation software, using the time of 7:32 pm gives Jung an Ascendant of 4 degrees Aquarius and a Midheaven of 1 degree Sagittarius. The Spring Journal 1975 chart appeared to use the Campanus house system.

The Spring Journal 1999 chart specifies that it uses 7:26 pm as Carl G Jung's time of birth, where it appears that author Monika Relph-Wikman may have been using the same logic I am using here, preferring to use the chart placements (Midheaven 29 degrees of Scorpio and Sun in the 7th house) that Carl G Jung and his daughter actually used.
