Liz Greene

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Liz Greene, (born September 4, 1946 in Englewood, New Jersey) is a notable American astrologer. She has written several astrology books based on Jungian psychology and other forms of depth psychology, contributing to an application of astrology called Psychological astrology. She relocated to England, then to Zürich, Switzerland to continue her work. Greene was the co-founder (with Howard Sasportas) of the Centre for Psychological Astrology in London. After Sasportas' death in 1992, the distinguished astrologer Charles Harvey took over as co-Director, until his death in 2000. She is also a co-director of Astrodienst -- Astro.com [1], the most popular astrology website on the Internet.

Greene has been one of the most persistently popular astrologers of the twentieth century, with book sales well in excess of any other living practitioner. Almost all of her many books remain in print. Greene became quickly famous with the publication, by Weiser, of Saturn: A New Look at an Old Devil, in 1976, in which she applied attempted to revise the very old and malevolent image of Saturn as a planet of misfortune, recasting it in a more objective image that has continued to be very popular into the twenty-first century.

Greene wrote a single historical novel in 1980, The Dreamer on the Vine, dealing with the themes of Nostradamus and Jesus bloodline. Nonetheless, her remaining books have been on topics applying principles of psychoanalysis to astrology (Astropsychology). Many were co-authored, especially by Howard Sasportas.

In addition to giving frequent lectures and directing a certificate program in psychological astrology, Greene has continued to produce many books, all of which are now published by her own company, the CPA Press. She has also co-authored, with Juliet Sharman-Burke, a deck of tarot cards, the Mythic Tarot.

Her most influential books include Saturn: A New Look at an Old Devil, and the philosophically interesting The Astrology of Fate. The Outer Planets & Their Cycles, The Luminaries (with H. Sasportas) and The Dark of the Soul are also good examples of her work.
