The Age of Aquarius: A Jungian View of a Changing World
Episode 417
Thursday, 26 March, 2026

Jung suggested in Aion that humanity is moving from the great symbolic Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius. Join Jungian analysts Lisa Marchiano, Deborah Stewart and Joseph Lee, as we ask what it means to live through the turbulence and vitality of this period of transition. Jung pioneered the idea that human consciousness unfolds in great symbolic ages. The shift from one to the next is not a smooth or pleasant experience. As Jung saw it, each new age emerges through a process of decline, breakdown, and renewal, a process that can bring with it frightening levels of destabilization.The Age of Pisces, shaped by Christianity, emphasized faith, morality, and the authority of external structures. But as this era wanes, Jung suggested we are coming under the influence of a new attitude, one that asks more of the individual psyche.This new Age of Aquarius asks us to hold the tension of opposites consciously, rather than splitting experience into simple categories of right and wrong, and to be open to a genuinely new attitude that can contain much greater complexity.We consider whether this emerging age calls us into a deeper interior life, one grounded not in external authority, but in an evolving relationship to the Self.Read the dream we analyze in full on our website.Connect With This Jungian LifeBook your place at our ⁠⁠free seminar⁠⁠ on March 28, Your Personal Red Book: A Dream School Taster.Send a ⁠⁠dream⁠⁠ for us to analyze on the show.Check out our TJL ⁠⁠podcast merch⁠⁠.Follow This Jungian Life on ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠.
