The uselessness of the Jungian notion of synchronicity for astrology puts to shame the tendency of many contemporary astrologers who hold it up like a battle sword and claim it as a panacea for the justification of astrological reality.

Certain astrologers go so far as to believe that it could justify the moment chosen for a consultation. As it is defined by Jung, synchronicity would be more applicable to Yi King or to so-called "horary" astrology than to natal astrology. Jung, perhaps by reason of ignorance, does not refer in his writing to the astrological practice of chart calculation for questions. [38]

    Astrology derives from a paradigm completely distinct from those of hermeneutics or physics. The notions of coincidence between significant events and of the influence of physical forces do not suit it. [39] There is no "external influence," but only formative internal incidence, that is to say, the organization of structural effects consequent to the impression upon the nervous system of planetary cycles. [40] Astral reality does not influence the physical; it conditions and shapes the physical.

This concept invalidates the argument of St. Augustine, taken up anew by Pico della Mirandola, in which an astrologer is incapable of determining the sex of an individual on the basis of his or her natal chart. A astro-psychic impression is not the physical imprint of "influences," but rather a transitory interior state.

There is no chart imprint made at the moment of birth, but rather an integration, both conditional and occasional (in the sense of the word used by Malebranche), of differentiated endopsychic forms, which render themselves manifest by means of their repetition and their frequency. Astral incidence requires a rhythmic and system approach.
