The Astrology of Personality by Dane Rudhyar inspired the modern interest of psychologists in astrology. Influenced by Carl Jung’s analytical psychology, Rudhyar argued that astrology was not predictive but produced important intuitive psychological insights that could be transformative. This transformation occurred through an analysis of the Jungian archetypes in conjunction with the astrological chart that connected the human psyche to the planets and signs of the Zodiac.

Rudhyar believed transcendental art symbolized the transpersonal archetypal experience. Transcendental art combined the surrealistic and cosmic art of the 1950s, the psychedelic art of the 1960s, and the visionary art of the 1970s. His transcendental artwork was often illustrated in his pamphlets and books on astrology.
