Cosmos and Psyche

Intimations of a New World View

By: Richard Tarnas

Narrated by: Sean Runnette

From a philosopher whose magisterial history of Western thought was praised by Joseph Campbell and Huston Smith comes a brilliant new book that traces the connection between cosmic cycles and archetypal patterns of human experience. Drawing on years of research and on thinkers from Plato to Jung, Richard Tarnas explores the planetary correlations of epochal events like the French Revolution, the two world wars, and September 11. Whether listened to as astrology updated for the quantum age or as a contemporary classic of spirituality, Cosmos and Psyche is a work of immense sophistication, deep learning, and lasting importance.

Comprehensive and thought provoking

I am relatively new to astrology and enjoyed the deep dive into cosmic events and how they have played out in our human and historical sphere. Will definitely return to parts of this, as it is quite a lot to digest!

Life expanding

This book is a pivot point in my life: a time before it, and a transformed time after. Richard Tarnas and Cosmos and Psyche came at the right time for me (approaching my 50th birthday, the beginning of my Chiron return), from the right author (and a great narrator), offering a profound perspective. Excellent and vitally important book.

Cosmic Speak

Incredible historical review of how Astrology works and why we should pay attention! If you're a skeptic, here's your answer.

An Astrological Must Read

If you're ambivalent about the veracity of astrology, you must read this book. The historical astrological references are numerous. It contains an ocean of facts of times present and past that were clearly influenced by the heavenly spheres. He touches only on specific transits, but explains them fully throughout the ages.

Precious study of mundain astrology

Very demanding and very rewarding too. Fantastic book for astrologers and those interested in symbology and social and cultural transformations through the ages.
