Renowned astrologer and Jungian analyst Liz Greene offers a fresh perspective on how to handle the infl uence of this much- maligned astrological symbol. Saturn, she says, represents a psychic process—one that allows us to utilize the experience of pain for self- discovery and a more fulfi lling 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 offers us greater self-understanding. This classic work of astrology has long been revered by beginners and professional astrologers alike. Previously published by Weiser Books in 2011, this Weiser Classics edition includes a new foreword by Juliana McCarthy, author of The Stars Within You. “The most important single contribution of twentieth- century astrology is that astrology is not a map of one’s fi xed destiny but is a potential map of the unfolding of the authentic, higher self.” —from the foreword by Robert Hand “For any serious student of astrology, Liz Greene’s work is essential reading. In 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.” —from the foreword by Juliana McCarthy t LIZ GREENE is the cofounder of the Centre for Psychological Astrology in London and a contributor to the most respected astrology site on the web, www.astro.com. She holds a doctorate in psychology and is a quali- fi ed Jungian analyst. www.redwheelweiser.com GGRREEEENNEE__SSAATTUURRNN__ccvv mmxx..iinndddd 11 99//2222//2211 1100::2266 PPMM GGRREEEENNEE__SSAATTUURRNN__ccvv mmxx..iinndddd 22 99//2222//2211 1100::2266 PPMM The Weiser ClassiCs series offers essential works from renowned authors and spiritual teachers, foundational texts, as well as introductory guides on an array of topics written by contemporary authors representing the full range of subjects and genres that have been part of Weiser Books’ over sixty-year-long publishing program—from divination and magick to alchemy and occult philosophy.
