Book Reviews of Cosmos and Psyche: Intimations of a New World View
Book Review: brilliant hypothesis - case unproven
Summary: 4 Stars
It never ocurred to me to take astrology seriously. Then some people I respect (Stan Grof and others)persuaded me otherwise. If meaning is integral to the structure of the universe and everything is connected then it is not too far fetched that the synchronicity of the planetary positions and the archetypes they represent become expressed in our lives through our natal charts and transits. This book mainly concerns the transits to our planet and illustrates the activity of the archetypal influences represented by the transits by historical events and movements. Tarnas does this well. He is as learned as you would expect from an author of a history of western philosophy. He loves his subject, he is prone to hyperbole. he's an enthusiast. My concern is that he may have just pulled examples from history to illustrate his theories. His hypothesis is brilliant and could be tested. A panel of historians blind to the astrology could rate eras and events according to criteria corresponding to the archetypal flavours proposed by Tarnas. If there was agreement between the historians and Tarnas then the case would be proven and this book would go down as a seminal text. At present it is just an interesting idea. A good read if you can forgive the rhetoric.
