Joseph Campbell’s zodiac sign is Aries. According to astrologers, the presence of Aries always marks the beginning of something energetic and turbulent. They are continuously looking for dynamic, speed and competition, always being the first in everything - from work to social gatherings. Thanks to its ruling planet Mars and the fact it belongs to the element of Fire (just like Leo and Sagittarius), Aries is one of the most active zodiac signs. It is in their nature to take action, sometimes before they think about it well.
Joseph Campbell was born in the Year of the Dragon. A powerful sign, those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Dragon are energetic and warm-hearted, charismatic, lucky at love and egotistic. They’re natural born leaders, good at giving orders and doing what’s necessary to remain on top. Compatible with Monkey and Rat.
A prolific author and Philosopher, he examined the evolution and function of mythology in human society. His works of comparative mythology and comparative religion include The Hero with a Thousand Faces, The Masks of God, and A Skeleton Key to Finnegans Wake.
Fascinated by mythology from his childhood days, he found similarities between Native American religious beliefs and the tenets of Roman Catholicism. He studied English and Medieval literature at Columbia University and later secured a teaching position at Sarah Lawrence College.
He published a comprehensive, four-volume survey of world mythology called the Historical Atlas of World Mythology.
He was born in White Plains, New York, to an Irish Catholic family. He was married to Dancer and Choreographer Jean Erdman Campbell.
He famously collaborated with Journalist Bill Moyers on the PBS miniseries, The Power of Myth. The miniseries aired one year after Campbell's death and earned him a large degree of posthumous fame.
