ReviewsFor any serious student of astrology, Liz Greene's work is essential reading. She is a much-lauded pioneer of twentieth century Psychological Astrology, and a legend who helped shape and mold what we now consider to be modern-day astrology. Throughout her career, she has keenly demonstrated the power of astrology in helping us understand ourselves. As she has shown, we are not static--but constantly evolving beings. Her writing has helped unlock the symbols of astrology breaking them open to reveal their subtler dimensions. With her Saturn , she went far in changing our perception of an ill-perceived planet, effectively exposing Saturn's richness, nuance, and crucial role in sandpapering us so we can become better versions of ourselves., Liz Greene's Saturn is a little more advanced, and deals specifically with the influence of Saturn, the planet of limits, disappointment, and struggle. This was a really helpful text for me, not just for learning about Saturn specifically, but also for learning how to think more broadly about the self-discovery and wisdom we can find even in the so-called 'bad' or 'difficult' parts of a birth chart.
