Liz Greene Liz Greene is a British-born astrologer, Jungian analyst, and author known for integrating depth psychology with modern astrological practice. Her work bridges Carl Jungian analytical psychology, Hellenistic astrology revival, and contemporary psychotherapy approaches, influencing both occult and academic communities. She has authored numerous books and founded institutions that shaped late 20th-century astrological thought.
Born in London in 1946, Greene studied classical languages and literature before pursuing formal training in psychology. She attended institutions associated with classical studies and later enrolled in Jungian analytic training linked to C. G. Jung Institute Zürich-type programs and United Kingdom psychoanalytic societies. During her formative years she engaged with circles around prominent astrologers active in the 1960s and 1970s, intersecting with communities connected to Isis-Urania historical astrological societies and occult publishing houses.
Greene emerged as a leading voice in modern astrology during the 1970s through collaborations with publishers and practitioners revitalizing Hellenistic astrology and psychological astrology. She co-founded the influential publishing venture Astrology Workshop/Mundane Press-style projects and contributed to journals alongside figures from the Esoteric revival and New Age movements. Her synthesis proposed reading natal charts through mythology and archetypal motifs drawn from Greek mythology, Roman mythology, and classical literary figures. Greene's astrological methodology influenced practitioners at institutions such as the Astrological Association (UK) and informed curricula in private astrology schools across North America and Europe.
Greene trained as a Jungian analyst and incorporated concepts from Carl Jung's corpus, including archetypes, the collective unconscious, and individuation, into astrological interpretation. She published case studies and theoretical works that connected planetary symbolism with mythic motifs found in texts by Homer, Ovid, and Sophocles, as well as with ideas from James Hillman and Marie-Louise von Franz. Her approach aligned with analytical psychology communities such as the International Association for Analytical Psychology and influenced clinicians integrating symbolic systems into psychotherapeutic practice.
Greene's bibliography includes influential titles addressing planetary archetypes, fate, and natal chart analysis. Notable works include The Astrology of Fate, a study engaging with deterministic themes resonant with debates in philosophy and religious studies; Saturn: A New Look at an Old Devil, reframing Saturn through mythic and developmental lenses; The Inner Planets, a guide on personal psychological dynamics; and numerous compilations of essays and case histories published by specialist presses linked to occult and psychological readerships. These books circulated widely among readers in United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia, and continental Europe, and were revised across multiple editions.
Throughout her career Greene appeared in print and broadcast media, contributing to newspapers, magazines, radio programs, and televised documentaries that explored astrology, psychology, and culture. She lectured at conferences organized by groups such as the Astrological Association (UK), the National Council for Geocosmic Research (NCGR), and university continuing-education programs. Her public presence intersected with cultural discussions in outlets connected to The Guardian, The Times, and specialized periodicals in the New Age and esoteric scenes, shaping public perceptions of astrology as a psychological rather than purely predictive practice.
Greene maintained a private clinical practice as a Jungian analyst and continued teaching through seminars, workshops, and training programs linked to analytic and astrological institutions. Her legacy includes a generation of astrologers and analysts who adopt archetypal and mythic frameworks, the institutional foundations she helped establish, and a body of literature that remains cited in both popular and specialist contexts. Her influence persists in contemporary dialogues between depth psychology, myth studies, and symbolic systems in therapeutic and cultural discourse.
