Archetypal cosmology is a field of study that explores correlations between "discernible archetypal patterns in human experience and the structural order within the solar system." It uses astrological techniques to study the significance of planetary cycles and alignments, and it draws on fields such as Jungian depth psychology, Greek philosophy, transpersonal theory, and mythology to attempt to formulate a new cosmology or world view that recognizes that existence of archetypal principles and their significance for human experience.
