In this episode Laura and Maria meet with the renown Laurence Hillman to explore how astrology and dream interpretation can work together. They look at the world of archetypes, as developed by the hallmark theories of Laurence’s famous father, James Hillman, a protégé of Carl Jung and author of The Soul’s Code.
Laurence himself has pioneered the use of archetypal work in astrology and dreams, working with businesses and organisations around the world on personal development and leadership programmes. As a professional archetypal coach he specializes in helping clients, whether individual or corporate, understand their deeper purpose in life's calling through these challenging times.
** And DR Hillman is coming to the DRI in London on Tuesday, August 26, 2025 to run a workshop on the whole subject of astrology and Dreaming. Check out the DRI website driccpe.org.uk for tickets **
In the episode the team reflect how celestial archetypes, like the Sun and Moon, in someone’s astrological chart can create a story about the person’s character which will then surface in dream time to deepen the interpretation.
They look briefly at Laura’s Sun and Moon positions in her chart and Maria recalls how she had a prophetic dream that led her to tracking down Laurence Hillman and finding out more about Laurence’s work.
Laurence has written several successful books including Planets in Play, How to Reimagine Your Life Through the Language of Astrology and is the co-author of Alignments, How to Live in Harmony with the Universe. And also the co-author of The Archetypes at Work, Evolving Your Story, One Character at a Time.
