Archai the journal of Archetypal Cosmology

The Journal

Welcome to Archai, a new academic journal that explores significant correlations between cyclical alignments of the planets and the archetypal patterns of human experience.

Combining rigorous astrological methodology with the archetypal perspective emerging from modern depth psychology, archetypal cosmology is concerned with the analysis of the shifting patterns and cycles of world history, culture, art, and individual biography. Beyond this, archetypal cosmology examines the theoretical basis for these correlations and their implications for the wider world view.

New Book Format

Following its enthusiastic reception, the Archai journal will be published in book format through Archai Press and is now available to purchase through this website. Two articles from the current issue are available for free download:

How can we better understand the significance and implications of the ecological, economic, and cultural crises we now face? What are the deeper forces at work shaping the contemporary zeitgeist and connecting the major events of our time? Is it possible to place our moment in history in the context of great cyclical and diachronic patterns of change?

Responses to these and other related questions are explored in this second issue of Archai: The Journal of Archetypal Cosmology. The essays featured here use archetypal astrology to shine a light on the deeper dynamics of history and contemporary culture. Contributions include cultural historian Richard Tarnas's analysis of the major world transits of the last five years, focusing especially on the Saturn-Uranus-Pluto T-square, and the second part of his exploration of the Saturn-Neptune complex. Also included are the second parts of Rod O'Neal's in-depth analysis of the Puritan movement and Keiron Le Grice's exploration of archetypal themes in the music of Bruce Springsteen. The other articles cover a wide variety of topics relevant to an archetypal understanding of history and contemporary culture such as the financial crisis, the Israel-Palestine conflict, the gay rights movement, the history of rock and roll, and recent achievements in the sporting world.
