Luiza Azancot, Jungian Astrologer

Norma Jean’s guest this week is Luiza Azancot, who integrates Jungian psychology with her work in astrology. Join them for a discussion of the American psyche in these troubling and changing times. Luiza Azancot has been studying natal and mundane astrology for the past 9 years although her love for the subject started much earlier. Her purchase of a Carl Jung book in 1971 led her on a convoluted path to become a professional astrologer 35 years later. Luiza will graduate from OCA, www.astrocollege.com, at the end of 2008. She is also an instructor for OCA, teaching The Archetypes of the Zodiac. Jung’s psychology and her astrological studies have given Luiza a connection to the Universe and a tool to achieve and help others achieve a better integration of our conflicting psychological drives. If we change our consciousness, we end up changing the collective consciousness, which may be the only effective way to change the world for the better. Born in Lisbon, Portugal, her home is now in Cape Cod, MA. You can contact Luiza directly at astrocape@gmail.com for consultations or philosophical discussions about astrology.
