About this episode

In this episode, I sit down with Laurence Hillman, a leading voice in archetypal astrology and depth psychology. As the son of the legendary James Hillman, Laurence has developed a profound yet accessible approach to astrology and psychology that helps uncover deep-seated truths within us. Together, we explore how understanding and working with archetypes can be transformative for those navigating emotional challenges, trauma, or simply searching for a greater sense of purpose.


Laurence shares insights on:


  • The Power of Archetypes in Healing: How recognizing and integrating archetypes can support emotional and psychological healing, guiding us through life's difficult moments.
  • Astrology Beyond the Surface: Demystifying astrology’s deeper wisdom beyond horoscopes, and uncovering how it serves as a tool for authentic self-exploration.
  • Shadow Work for Transformation: Exploring the vital role of shadow work in personal growth, learning to embrace and integrate our darker aspects for a fuller, more authentic self.
  • Awakening Consciousness: Laurence’s approach to “awakening consciousness” and the essential roles that depth psychology and archetypes play in this transformative journey.


If you’ve ever felt lost, stuck, or on the verge of a personal breakthrough, Laurence offers practical advice to begin your path toward self-awareness, healing, and self-realization. This episode serves as both an exploration and a guide to using archetypal astrology as a tool for navigating the inner landscapes of our lives.
