The Way of the Archetypes, Volume III: Pluto and Uranus in Psychology, Spirituality, and Culture

A defining contribution to the field of archetypal astrology, The Way of the Archetypes is Keiron Le Grice’s extensive, four-volume study of the place of archetypes—universal principles and powers—in our lives.Drawing on illuminating examples from psychology, philosophy, film, music, television, literature, science, and history, in this third volumeLe Grice explores the forms of expression of the astrological archetypes Pluto and Uranus. From instinctual compulsion, power drives, and encounters with the underworld of the unconscious, associated with Pluto, to the pioneering spirit, revolutionary urges, and awakening experiences, associated with Uranus, this volume shows how combinations of these transpersonal principles with the other planetary archetypes manifest in the enduring patterns of personality and the shifting themes of biographical and collective experience.
