Saturn

This classic astrology text, revered by beginners and professional astrologers alike, is now available in a Weiser Classics edition.

“The most important single contribution of twentieth-century astrology is that astrology is not a map of one’s fixed destiny but is a potential map of the unfolding of the authentic, higher self.” —Robert Hand, from the foreword

Saturn’s darker persona is recognized universally in myth and fairytale. In this classic astrology text, renowned astrologer and Jungian analyst Liz Greene offers a fresh perspective on how to handle the influence of this much-maligned astrological symbol.

In Saturn, Greene shows us how the frustrating experiences connected to this planet can be turned into opportunities for greater insight and meaning in our lives. Saturn, she says, symbolizes a psychic process—one that allows us to utilize the experience of pain for self-discovery and a more fulfilling and complete life.
Greene retraces Saturn’s character through sign, house, aspect, and synastry in a brilliant analysis that reveals his other face: that of the initiator who, for the price of our honesty with ourselves, offers us greater consciousness, self-understanding, and, eventually, freedom.

“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.”—Claire Comstock-Gay, author of Madame Clairevoyant’s Guide to the Stars
