# An Analysis of C.G. Jung’s Natal Chart

# Speaker: Anne Ortelee

Anne Ortelee will be analyzing the natal chart of C.G. Jung. Charts continue to work long after people have died.

Included in her analysis will be the posthumous publication of The Red Book as well as predictions of the expansion of his work in the new century.

Anne Ortelee is a certified astrologer by ISAR-CAP, AMAFA, NCGR-PAA Level 3 and OPA. She started to study astrology in 1994 and in 2001 became a full-time astrologer.

Anne was trained as a traditional Western Predictive Astrologer with a psychological Jungian approach. She’s studied Uranian/Symmetrical, Vedic Jyotish, Horary, Vibrational, Numerology, Palmistry and Tarot. She currently serves on the Board of the CG Jung Foundation.

Since December 1998, Anne’s lectured at astrology conferences including UAC 2012 and 2018. She writes a regular column for subscribers, twitters daily aspects to over 74,000 people and offers three weekly podcasts and YouTube videos about astrology.

She offers a daily audio overview, aspects, and a theme song to her Patreon subscribers. She offers courses through her on line school.

NOTE: After speaking with Matthew (head librarian at the KML), we decided to begin our reading and discussion of the Red Book earlier.

Starting time: 6 pm.

Jung’s The Red Book: Reading and Discussion Group

Reading assignment for 1st meetup at the Kristine Mann Library.
From Liber Primus:
Prologue and chapters 1, 2 and 3 (pp.117-140).

*I will be reading from A Reader's Edition (*see below)

This meetup is devoted to the careful reading and discussion of C. G. Jung’s extraordinary The Red Book (Liber Novus), one of the most important and fascinating works in the history of depth psychology.
(note: reading is required for participation. You may attend if you do not read, yet only listen).

The Red Book emerged from a period of profound psychological and spiritual confrontation with the unconscious that began after Jung’s break with Freud.

Before creating The Red Book, Jung recorded many of his dreams, visions, fantasies, and inner dialogues in a series of notebooks now known as The Black Books (1913-1916). These notebooks served as the more immediate and spontaneous record of his encounters with the unconscious.

Jung later selected, developed, reflected upon, and artistically transformed much of this material into The Red Book, which he composed as a richly illuminated manuscript.

Together, we will explore Jung’s encounters with the unconscious and consider major themes such as individuation, the Shadow, anima and animus, the Self, myth, symbolism, religion, active imagination, and the relationship between consciousness (Ego) and the unconscious (Self).

Experts, longtime students of Jung, and complete newcomers are all warmly welcome.

No previous knowledge of Jungian psychology is required.

The purpose of the group is not to arrive at a single interpretation, but to create an open and thoughtful conversation in which participants can share questions, insights, associations, and differing perspectives.

When possible, we will meet weekly and proceed through the text at a manageable pace.

Participants may use either of the following editions (free PDF below)

1. The Red Book: Liber Novus — Full Facsimile Edition
(too expensive, yet has the amazing pictorials that Jung painted)

NEW DATE due to work.

FINAL ONLINE meet-up for C,G. Jung's "Psychology and Alchemy," volume 12 from his Collected Works by Bollingen.

For this 5th and final session, the required reading:
Page 345 (para.447) to end of the volume/book.

Again, I have been hosting a short series of meetups to read and discuss Carl G. Jung's "Psychology and Alchemy," Volume 12 from Collected Works by Bollingen Series (see below link for FREE PDF).

All sessions welcome both longtime readers of Jung and those completely new to his ideas.

Together, we’ll explore questions like:

• What did alchemists believe they were really transforming?
• How does Jung relate alchemical symbolism to psychological processes?
• Where do religion and psychology overlap in the quest for inner change?
• Can these ideas still speak to contemporary life?

The meetup will blend brief framing with open discussion, so even if you found the reading dense, you’ll have space to unpack it collaboratively.

Again, no prior background in alchemy or Jung is required—just curiosity and a willingness to engage.
Expect a thoughtful, welcoming atmosphere where complex ideas are explored without pressure to be an expert.

Bring your questions, your interpretations, and your copy of volume I2

NOTE starting time: 6 pm.
