Summary

Anglo-American Jungian analyst and astrologer who wrote Saturn: A New Look at an Old Devil and The Astrology of Fate — the most psychologically sophisticated applications of Jungian psychology to astrological interpretation — founding the Centre for Psychological Astrology in London with Howard Sasportas.

Core Contribution

Created psychological astrology as a discipline — integrating Jungian archetypal psychology with astrological symbolism to produce an interpretive framework where the birth chart maps the constellation of archetypal energies in an individual's psychological life.

Key Spikes & Highlights

  • Saturn as Limitation and Gift (Greene's central astrological insight: Saturn, traditionally the planet of misfortune and restriction, represents the soul's chosen limitations for this life — the areas where reality insists on its terms regardless of the ego's wishes — and these are not punishments but the specific forms through which the individual can develop depth, discipline, and genuine achievement)
