Art, Cosmos and Psyche

Big Apple Astrology Meetup

You can see someone's astrology and psychology in their artwork. The psyche and the astrological charts come out in an artwork's symbols, and in what themes, ideas, and archetypes compel an artist. It also shows formally in composition, line, form, color, materials, scale, and texture.

As a professor in 3 art therapy clinical programs teaching art interpretation for 26 years, Claudia Bader has long researched the relationship between psychodynamics, astrology, and artwork. She explored the intercorrelations and triangulations between the artistic, the psychological, and the astrological — including an experiment with 100 people and the specific art characteristics of each astrological sign.

Working with Planetary Archetypes: Uranus, For the Genius in You

NCGR-NY Education Program · Claudia Bader, PhD, NCGR-PAA Level IV Consulting Astrologer

Where is your particular genius? Where and how do you think outside the box? From Uranus's genius and breakthroughs to its chaos and destructiveness — whether in a natal chart or in transit/progressions — how do these impact you, others, and the world?

With Uranus, higher octave of Mercury, about to stay in Mercury-ruled Gemini for 7 years, Uranus is flying high. We looked at how the Uranus archetype manifests in all dimensions of human life — spiritually, psycho-dynamically, alchemically, and practically — in life events.

  • The patterns, myths, motifs, events, and archetypes that appear with Uranus
  • How to identify if Uranus is a major theme in charts
  • What does a Uranian person look like?
  • How does Uranus manifest in art? How does this relate to their psychology?
  • How is Uranus related to developmental models and attachment theory?
  • How can the Jungian alchemical stage of sublimato inform our understanding of Uranus?

Knowing Neptune at the Turning of the Tide

The Neptune Archetype and Astrology

How does formlessness operate in a world of form? What is the difference between a symbol and a sign? The tide is turning in the world with Neptune soon taking a final dip to the last degree of the last sign of the zodiac, Pisces (its own sign), before a whole new cycle of 165 years begins.

An immersive exploration of how the Neptune archetype manifests in all dimensions of human life — spiritually, psycho-dynamically, alchemically, and in life events. Building from in-depth basics, Neptune was taken through the houses and in aspect to planets and angles.
