“Astrology represents the sum of all the psychological knowledge of antiquity”, Carl Jung

Is astrology a science, an art, or both? How can it be a guide, an inspiration, and a tool for knowledge-making? What can it teach us about the psyche and our relationship with others? We would like to explore this further in our transdisciplinary conference, Astrology: Creative Inspiration, Epistemic Pathways, and Arts-Based Research, by looking at the intricate connections between astrology, creativity, and knowledge. From ancient traditions to modern interpretations, we invite scholars, practitioners, creatives, and enthusiasts to contribute their insights on how astrology serves as an inspiration for artistic expression and a pathway to deeper insights into the human experience, exploring the multifaceted dimensions of astrology as a science, psychology, and art.
