About the author
Karen Hamaker-Zondag is a Dutch astrologer and psychotherapist whose books apply Jungian psychology to astrological interpretation, published mainly by Weiser Books. Titles in the catalogue include Psychological Astrology, which synthesizes Jung's theories with horoscope analysis; Planetary Symbolism in the Horoscope; Aspects and Personality; House Connection, on reading planetary rulerships across the houses; The Yod Book, a focused study of the yod aspect pattern and unaspected planets; and Tarot as a Way of Life, which extends her Jungian framework to tarot reading. Spanning publication dates from 1990 to 2000, these works form a sustained body of writing aimed at practicing astrologers and students who want a psychologically grounded, rather than purely predictive, approach to chart interpretation. Her consistent method of connecting archetypal psychology to divinatory symbolism runs through all eight titles listed.
