Title Solar astrology: A clinical tool for personality assessment. Source American Federation of Astrologers Bulletin. Vol 41(7) 13-24, Jul 1979. Abstract Tested the usefulness of solar astrological concepts in social work, with emphasis placed on their utility in a clinical setting. It was hypothesized that differences exist between persons engaged in ongoing therapy and those not involved in counseling and their ability to recognize personality traits characteristic of their astrological birth sign. Ss selected from 2 population groups responded to a questionnaire and checklist designed to secure their birthdate and a rank ordering of 12 trait clusters for "self-description" and "description of a significant other." Results confirm the hypothesis in that the "normal" population was more likely to select their appropriate astrological personality traits than the "special" population. Differences in Ss' astrological level of functioning or awareness of their inner potentialities are discussed, whereby extraterrestrial influences or astrological phenomena are suggested as delineators between healthy and unhealthy personality adjustment.

Journal Article: 68-01633. Authors Lester, David. Institution Richard Stockton State Coll. Title Astrologers and psychics as therapists. Source American Journal of Psychotherapy. Vol 36(1) 56-66, Jan 1982. Abstract Suggests that astrologers and psychics play a role similar to that played by psychotherapists and that they serve clients who do not wish to characterize themselves as having psychological problems. This is documented by the writings of astrologers and by transcripts of visits to astrologers and psychics by a client. Astrology is useful because it provides concepts and terminology that describe people's life states and problems. It also provides a good medium for incorporating modern psychological therapies. Both astrologers and psychics provided examples of advising, increasing the client's self-esteem, preparing the client to face trauma, and empathic dialog.

Vol 44(1) 69-79, Feb 1981. Abstract H=2E S. Sullivan's (1953) argument that anxiety as a fundamental human experience is alleviated by the use of various procedures that he called "security operations" is used in the present paper to examine the meaning of astrology in Sri Lanka. Astrology and the doctrine of karma provide the relevant framework in which various forms of misfortune are understood and handled. An examination of cases reveals that astrology and the doctrine of karma enable a person of that culture to create a number of structures that have a therapeutic effect.

Source Perceptual & Motor Skills. Vol 49(3) 858, Dec 1979. Abstract Based on claims of traditional astrology, a significant relationship between hostility assessed by the Buss-Durkee Hostility-Guilt Inventory and the effects of Mars and Pluto was hypothesized. As a control analysis, a nonsignificant relationship between the hostility scale and the effects of Venus was predicted. The inventory correlated significantly with Mars scores and nonsignificantly with Venus and Pluto scores. (2 ref) (PsycINFO Database Copyright 1981 American Psychological Assn, all rights reserved).

Title Self-attribution as a differential, psychological moderator variable: Verification and clarification of Eysenck's astrology-personality correlations. [German]. Source Zeitschrift fur Sozialpsychologie. Vol 10(1) 54-69, 1979. Abstract Tested the hypothesis that the previously reported relationship between astrological birth sign and personality differences in extraversion and neuroticism can be explained in terms of self-attribution of personality descriptions. Responses of 799 adult Ss on a German version of the Eysenck Personality Inventory and a belief in and familiarity with astrology questionnaire were analyzed in several ANOVAs, with belief in astrology being one of the independent variables. Results support the hypothesis. (14 ref) (PsycINFO Database Copyright 1981 American Psychological Assn, all rights reserved).

Vol 110(1) 65-71, Feb 1980. Abstract 45 male and 88 female college students were administered Rotter's Internal-External Locus of Control Scale, a similar scale by H. Levenson (1972), the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale, and a questionnaire assessing belief and knowledge about astrology. External beliefs about chance or fate were positively related to belief and action-taking in astrological activities, while other measures of locus of control including the Rotter scale and beliefs about control by Powerful Others, were not related to an interest in astrology. Females were significantly more likely than males to believe in and have knowledge about astrology. Results suggest that externals can be differentiated and identified by the kinds of efforts they might make to enhance reinforcement.

Title An empirical study of the relation between astrological factors and personality. Source Journal of Social Psychology. Vol 105(2) 229-236, Aug 1978. Abstract Tested 2 astrological predictions: (a) extraversion is related to being born under the odd-numbered zodiacal signs and introversion to being born under the even-numbered zodiacal signs, and (b) that people born under the so-called water signs would show greater emotionality and would thus have higher Neuroticism scores than the other Ss. 917 male and 1,407 female adults, mean age 35 yrs, were administered the Eysenck Personality Inventory, and their birthdates were ascertained. Results for males and females separately and jointly support both hypotheses. It is concluded that artifacts are unlikely to have produced the results.

Title Accuracy in self-perception: The fallacy of personal validation. Source British Journal of Social & Clinical Psychology. Vol 17(3) 231-235, Sep 1978. Abstract Previous studies have found that Ss rate randomly selected astrological statements as highly accurate descriptions of themselves and this has been held to show a "fallacy of personal validation." Three experiments (in which a total of 91 Ss were given true and false feedback on the results of 16 PF testing) are reported which investigate possible explanations. Ss do not appear to accept such statements because of demand characteristics or social desirability effects. Evidence is presented to support the alternative hypothesis that Ss can distinguish true from false personality descriptions and perceive astrological statements as accurate descriptions of most people including themselves.

Title The astrological case study of a juvenile delinquent: Toward a therapeutic methodology. Source Multidisciplinary Research. Vol 4(1) 1-63, Apr 1976. Abstract Theories of the etiology of delinquency are reviewed; some research in chronobiology is summarized. The basic method for interpreting an astrological chart is outlined. It is noted that the potential utility of astrological symbols to create a "psychoglyphic" system for the depiction of psychodynamic constructs does not depend upon the existence of a causal relationship between planetary events and behavior. A single S was given the California Psychological Inventory and his horoscope was cast. Both measures are described, interpreted, and points of similarity noted. The therapeutic strategy decided upon is outlined; outcome is as yet unknown. (75 ref) (PsycINFO Database Copyright 1978 American Psychological Assn, all rights reserved).

Pellegrini's 1973 findings that there are marked correlations between the astrological sun sign of birth and the Femininity scale of the California Psychological Inventory. Ss born under Capricorn, Sagittarius, Libra, Leo, Scorpio, and Virgo scored distinctly higher than average on the Femininity scale. The current author found that when the 6 signs corresponding to higher Femininity were arranged in order, they were consecutive signs. The January 21-July 23 Femininity scores were within the range 15.96-17.58; in the other half of the year, the range was 22.37-24.46. A possible explanation for this difference is presented.

Journal Article: 51-10934. Authors Roll, W G. Institution Psychical Research Foundation, Durham, N.C.. Title Science looks at the occult. Source Psychic. Vol. 4(5) 50-55, Jun 1973. Abstract Discusses revival of interest, particularly among young people, in mysticism, astrology, transcendental meditation, and nonrational phenomena in general. It is suggested that this revival is related to the belief in the perfectibility of man and is a reaction against the depersonalization of modern technology. Differences between occult and mechanistic technology are considered: occult technology is directed toward the well-being of man as a psychical organism, while mechanistic technology is aimed at his physical well-being. The use of scientific methodology in various parapsychological experiments is considered. It is also suggested that occult practices are used not so much to obtain hidden information as to achieve self-transcendence, and that this is the reason why most studies are not scientifically documented.

Title Incorporation of astrology-based personality information into long-term self-concept. Source Journal of Social Behavior & Personality. Vol 10(3) 707-718, Sep 1995. Abstract Examined the relation of self-report knowledge about astrology, exposure to astrological texts and perceived validity of astrology, leading to an acceptance of astrological character descriptions. 87 students (18-51 yrs old) were divided into a group of examiners and a group of examinees. Each examiner was given a packet consisting of the 12 astrological sign descriptions, while each examinee completed a questionnaire, which the examiners used to ascertain their astrological sign. Examiners then gave their examinees 2 sign descriptions, the correct astrology description and the description immediately following it. Results show that Ss who knew their astrological sign judged the personality profile corresponding to their sign to be a more accurate description of their personality than an alternative astrological sign profile. Neither strong astrological belief nor awareness was necessary for this effect to occur. (PsycINFO Database Copyright 1996 American Psychological Assn, all rights reserved).

Source Personality & Individual Differences. Vol 13(10) 1135-1144, Oct 1992. Abstract Tested 238 pairs of homo- and heterozygotic twins (135 pairs (aged 3-17 yrs) and 103 pairs (aged 2 mo-59 yrs), respectively) to determine if an astrological hypothesis may correspond to a factor that differentiates both personalities in a twin pair. The test involved the choice of 2 psychological characteristics to which the families had to attribute the Christian name of each of the twins. The characteristics were polarized in relation to one another (for example, more energetic or less energetic) and were extracted from a preliminary astrological study of the 2 birth charts of twins. 153 exact replies and 65 reverse replies were obtained; 20 replies declared that no difference had been found. Statistical comparison of proportions showed that exact replies could not be attributed to chance and support the astrological hypothesis as a new element in differentiating personality within a pair of twins.

Journal Article: 76-11856. Authors Van Rooij, Jan J; Brak, Marianne A; Commandeur, Jacques J. Institution Rijksuniversiteit Leiden, Vakgroep Persoonlijkheidspsychologie, Netherlands. Title Introversion-extraversion and sun-sign. Source Journal of Psychology. Vol 122(3) 275-278, May 1988. Abstract J=2E Mayo et al (see PA, Vol 63:5502) confirmed the astrological proposition that people born with the sun in an odd-numbered sign of the zodiac (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, Aquarius) show a tendency toward extraversion, whereas those born with the sun in the remaining even-numbered signs, show a tendency toward introversion. In later publications, such as H. J=2E Eysenck (1979, 1981), however, Eysenck stated that this sun-sign effect could be explained by self-attribution based on the Ss' astrological knowledge. In the present study, birthdates and scores on a personality inventory for 992 adults were analyzed. Results support the result of Mayo et al and show that self-attribution could not account for this result. (PsycINFO Database Copyright 1989 American Psychological Assn, all rights reserved).

Abstract Discusses astrology as both a science and an art--a science in the form of setting up a horoscope (an exacting process because each factor has to be calculated and measured) and an art in that the astrologer learns to become skilled in the interpretation of a horoscope. Astrology is purported to offer a greater understanding of both problems and self. It can also tell when to time what is wanted for best results, so that a person can gain insight into the situation in which he/she is involved, and in which direction action should be taken.

Vol 7(3) 279-299, Sep 1983. Abstract Astrological counseling constitutes an important but relatively unexplored sector of India's medical and psychiatric traditions. The present study provides a critique of studies of divination-as-therapy and presents a symbolic or phenomenological approach to the analysis of astrology as a form of situation-focused counseling. Three arts of medicine--the art of dialog, the art of prediction, and the art of remedy--organize the therapeutic effectiveness of the counseling session. In analyzing these arts, the discussion extends the idea of performative efficacy by developing the concept of ""therapeutic space,'' defining it as the typographical framework that encompasses both the scene of the advisory session and the scene of the client's everyday life. The experiential continuities that are established in this space are constituted through imaginal activity, which is indigenously understood as ""picturing'' the client's situation. The text of an advisory session between an astrologer and his politician-client in the city of Banaras is presented.

Abstract Contends that the mythological meaning of Uranus contradicts the astrological meaning; a mythological name and legend more appropriate for Uranus is Prometheus, which expresses Uranus's essential astrological nature with regard to the act of cosmic rebellion, intellectual genius, the symbol of fire as transformative energy, and the cosmic trickster. It is concluded that the archetypal identity of Uranus with Prometheus can expand understanding of this planet's meaning.
