Presumed irrational because it is inaccessible to human observation tools, astrology isn't a matter of physical nor mental, but the matter of their common origin which is "behind our eyes" as wrote Paracelsus. Since high antiquity, man scanned the sky built, in a mythological mode, this fundamental building of knowledge. Through the epic of the twelve zodiac signs and planets, it grew to cosmos and cosmos condensed into it. This consubstantiality between microcosm and macrocosm represent a kind of collective soul ancestral substrate, the psyche root of unconscious being.
The astrological conscience isn't only born from observation of the sky but also from an experience, outer and inner, psychical and cognitive. The attribution of a meaning to sky bodies and their transformation of items into symbolical images represent, from psychological point of view, "one of the greatest tentative, never done by human spirit, to give a global representation of the world, according to Ernst Cassirer's definition.
 
Between mythology, philosophy and Jungian psychology, Marie-Laure Colonna, analyst, and Gilles Vernier, astrologist, will deepen this art, this wisdom, which since the beginning of times links the sky to the psyche.
