Cosmos and Psyche

''Cosmos and Psyche: Intimations of a New World View'' is a 2006 book by cultural historian Richard Tarnas, who proposes the existence of relationships between planetary transits and events in the lives of major historical figures, as well as cultural events.
==Summary==
Tarnas's first book, ''The Passion of the Western Mind'' serves as an introduction to ''Cosmos and Psyche''.〔Ray Grasse, "Cosmos and Psyche: An Interview with Richard Tarnas" ''The Mountain Astrologer'', issue #124, Dec/Jan 2006.〕 Tarnas acknowledges that astrology's status in contemporary thought is, as he puts it, "the gold standard for superstition".〔Keiron Le Grice, (The "Birth of a New Discipline: Archetypal Cosmology in Historical Perspective" )〕
The book's objective is to challenge the materialistic and dysteleological assumptions of the modern world view, and to set forth evidence for a correspondence between planetary alignments and patterns of human history. The book attempts to provide an archetypal cosmology to accompany Tarnas's proposed participatory epistemology, "in which human beings are regarded as an essential vehicle for the creative selfunfolding of reality".〔Anthony Freeman, 'A Daniel Come to Judgement? Dennett and the Revisioning of Transpersonal Theory', ''Journal of Consciousness Studies'', 13, No. 3, 2006, pp.95–109.〕〔J.N. Ferrer, ''Revisioning Transpersonal Theory'' p.115 (New York: SUNYPress, 2002)〕
The idea for ''Cosmos and Psyche'' began when Tarnas realized that the climax of the 1960s cultural revolution took place precisely during the only Uranus-Pluto conjunction in the 20th century. For Tarnas, the characteristics of the astrological entity Uranus match with those of the Greek mythical figure Prometheus better than with those of the conservative mythological figure Uranus. Tarnas associates the astrological planet Uranus with freedom and change, while Pluto is associated with evolution, instinct, and ''eros''. Thus in Tarnas's theory, the apparent relationships (conjunctions, oppositions, and squares) of Uranus and Pluto have momentous potential for human history. (Tarnas's research has not found significant correlation between the zodiac signs and human events.) Tarnas further observed that a Uranus-Pluto opposition occurred during the French Revolution. Like the 1960s, the French Revolution featured the characteristics of Uranus-Pluto alignment: revolution through the manifestation of the suppressed. These historical-astrological coincidences or synchronicities led Tarnas to further explore the relationship of pivotal moments in Western cultural history to the conjunctions, oppositions, and squares of the outer planets. The historical events analyzed include the Reformation, the Renaissance, Romanticism, the Scientific Revolution, the Industrial Revolution, Modernism, Postmodernism, etc.
In the book Tarnas discusses the correspondences between planetary transits and the biographies of such figures as Friedrich Nietzsche, William Blake, Walt Whitman, and Arthur Schopenhauer. Tarnas believes that the correspondences between historical events and astrological alignments are consistently astonishing.〔(google.com )〕
Tarnas uses C. G. Jung's concept of synchronicity, or meaningful coincidence, to argue that there is an acausal connection between the outer world and the human psyche.
Tarnas does not argue for a causal relationship between the planets and human events:
In the perspective I am suggesting here, reflecting the dominant trend in contemporary astrological theory, the planets do not "cause" specific events any more than the hands on a clock "cause" a specific time. Rather, the planetary positions are indicative of the cosmic state or archetypal dynamics at that time.〔Cosmos and Psyche, p. 77〕
