As a depth psychotherapist and archetypal astrologer, I have deep reverence for the inner and outer work my friend, fellow psychotherapist and astrologer, Delia Shargel has done over the course of her life’s journey. Delia is a wise soul with so much to offer the world from the fertile ground of her psychotherapy practice where years of learning, research, and study have led to really amazing and critical insights into the nature of psychological and astrological complexes. Her newest article, “Psychological and Astrological Complexes: An Evolving Perspective” found in Issue 5 of Archai Journal, is a must read for any serious practitioner or student of these disciplines.
In this episode of Correlations: The Archetypal Astrology Podcast, Delia Shargel, Matthew Stelzner, and I discuss Delia’s groundbreaking article. We explore what complexes are and how they function psychologically, giving examples of how we can use the natal chart to work with them psycho-spiritually. We also consider how this process could be a way of “feminizing” the Saturn archetype.
You may read Delia’s article here for free at Archai.org. And the really awesome appendix here with helpful tips on how to work with complexes.

This is my second in-depth reading and listening to this liberating paper and talk. The clarity of your articulation, the way you write Delia and the way the three of you talk together, illuminates a pathway to a palace of insights. Particularly helpful are the ways the three of you share your personal journeys with such sincerity and candor. This link: “You may read Delia’s article here for free at Archai.org. And the really awesome appendix here with helpful tips on how to work with complexes” isn’t taking me to the appendix. I do hope to be able to find a way to it sometime.
