Some points:

• 1. Liz Greene has never called herself "Elizabeth." I don't even know if that is her name.
• 2. She does not have a Ph.D. although she is studying now in a Ph.D. program.
• 3. She is NOT the founder of Astrodienst. That was a Swiss astrologer named Alois Treindl. And I'm pretty sure he's still in charge. She is a co-director at this point. NaySay 18:35, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

More points:

1. According to the website Astrodienst, Greene "holds a doctorate in psychology and is a qualified Jungian analyst. She also holds a diploma in counselling from the Centre for Transpersonal Psychology in London, and a diploma from the Faculty of Astrological Studies, of which she is a lifetime Patron." 2. According to statements made by Liz Greene's representatives in the United Kingdom and Zurich, she received a doctorate in psychology from UCLA. This is not true. See: astroamerica.com. 3. She is not studying for a PhD. Currently (2006) she is a first year MA student at Bath Spa University. For a short time (2004) she was a visiting lecturer there, but was presumably 'let go' when the truth about her fabricated academic qualifications were brought to light. 4. All references to her "PhD" as well as other academic "qualifications" have now been removed from the bio posted on her astrology school's website, cpalondon.com. 5. Her training as a "Jungian analyst" is also under question, as she has never stated where and when this proported training occurred.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Winedarksea (talk • contribs)

1) Greene is the most published (by far) living astrologer. In fact, there are without question more of her books in print than any astrologer, living or dead, with the possible exception of that woman who wrote the Sun Signs book, whose name escapes me. Her influence on astrologers can't be overestimated. 2) She is also one of the leaders of the leading astrology website on the internet (Astrodienst, in Switzerland.)

Therefore, if you are going to include any astrologers (and there can be no defensible rationale for excluding them), Greene would have to be included. NaySay 17:37, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Dave: (c'mon I know that's you) if you've got a beef about the entry someone made calling Greene a "Jungian analyst," by all means, delete it. She's a very well-known astrologer whose writing attempts to link modern psychological counseling strategies and analysis with astrology. That's plenty." NaySay 19:04, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
