Carl Jung,  a renown Swiss psychoanalyst in the early 20th century, felt that astrology was the summation of all the ancient knowledge of psychology. He postulated that the twelve signs of the zodiac configured what he described as the "archetypes," which are psychological patters that inhabit the collective unconscious.

Some of the famous quotes of Carl Jung related to astrology are as follows:
"We are born at a given moment in a given place and like vintage years of wine we have qualities of the year and season in which we are born.  Astrology does not lay claim to anything else."

"Astrology is one of the intuitive methods like the I Ching, geomantics, and other divinatory procedures. It is based upon the synchronicity principle, i.e. meaningful coincidence... Astrology is a naively projected psychology in which the attitudes and temperments of man are represented as gods and identified with planets and zodiacal constellations."

"The starry vault of heaven is in truth the open book of cosmic projection, in which are reflected the mythologems, i.e. the archetypes.  In this vision astrology and alchemy, the two classical functionaries of the psychology of the collective unconscious, join hands.
