Jung and the Moon Cycles

Rhythms of Influence
by Michael Owen

The Moon Cycles are an indigenous teaching about the archetypal influences and forces that affect us at different times in our lives. (This is not a book on astrology). The 9-month, 3-year and 27-year cycles are based on the length of human pregnancy and throw new light on the important events in Jung's life.

We see how the rhythm of Jung's life coincided with the great events of the 20th century. It also casts new light on Jung’s fateful encounter with Freud as well as his relationships with women and his supposed anti-Semitism. Some of the "patterns of time" and other insights revealed:
* Both Jung's parents were the thirteenth and youngest in their families.
* Freud died twenty-seven years almost to the day after he fainted in Jung's presence and said "How sweet it must be to die."
* Jung dreamed of the firebombing of Dresden twenty-seven years before it happened.

Michael Owen shows readers how to place the events of their own lives on the Moon Cycles and gain a new perspective on the births and deaths (inner and outer) in their life. They will see what learning periods are ahead of them and understand the importance of the nine-month, three-year and twenty-seven year cycles.
