This final qualification paper presents the results of studying the relationship between psychological and astrological personality types. The purpose of the study was to test the theory that certain elements of the astrological birth chart can predict a person's personal characteristics, measured using psychological tests. It was planned to reveal the relationship between the chronotope of birth and psychodynamic characteristics of the personality. The interest in the topic was dictated by the author's personal observations, which indicate that despite criticism from the scientific community, astrology is popular among the population, which would not increase if it were not supported by a corresponding effect. Perhaps astrology has the right to become one, even if specific, tool for helping people. For this purpose, a quantitative study was conducted, in which 507 respondents of different gender and age took part. Specialized literature was studied, and an empirical study was conducted that did not confirm the main hypothesis of the dissertation. But it suggested to the author possible topics for future works.
