Biography

Liz Greene is a Jungian analyst and professional astrologer who received her Diploma in Analytical Psychology from the Association of Jungian Analysts in London in 1980. She holds Doctorates in both Psychology and History, and worked for a number of years as a tutor in the MA in Cultural Astronomy and Astrology at the University of Wales, Lampeter. She is the author of a number of books, some scholarly and some interpretive, on the relationships between psychology and astrology, Tarot, Kabbalah, and myth, and of The Astrological World of Jung’s Liber Novus (Routledge).

Liz Greene has written what will undoubtedly stand as the definitive work on Jung's engagement with astrology for a long time to come. It is an immense achievement. She also offers us profound insights into Jung's vision of the psychological underpinnings of the emergence of meaningful archetypal patterns in history. --Murray Stein, author of Jung's Map of the Soul

 

"This is a work which I have been searching for in vain for several decades […] it manages to be an instructive and essential reading in its own right, while resituating and correcting a host of other works." --Sonu Shamdasani, Professor, School of European Languages, Culture & Society, UCL
