Archetypal Cosmology is an emerging field of research that investigates correlations between planetary cycles and recurring archetypal patterns in human experience. Developed through decades of historical and biographical research, it examines how particular planetary configurations consistently coincide with recognizable patterns across individual lives, cultural movements, and historical events.

The field builds on the work of philosopher and cultural historian Richard Tarnas, particularly his landmark 2006 book Cosmos and Psyche: Intimations of a New World View. Drawing on thirty years of research, Tarnas traces planetary cycles alongside major turning points in history—from periods of revolution and political upheaval to scientific breakthroughs, artistic movements, social transformation, and shifts in cultural consciousness. His research identifies recurring patterns across widely separated historical periods, suggesting that similar planetary cycles tend to coincide with events that share a common archetypal quality.
