The Outer Planets and Their Cycles: The Astrology of the Collective

By Liz Greene

This volume is one of a series compiled from the talks and workshops of some of the most innovative and articulate contributors to modern astrology. Through this medium of edited transcripts, some of the most vital and incisive of today's astrological thought-which heretofore has been communicated only to small groups and then passes into oblivion-can be given a permanent form and wider availability. This volume comprises lectures given by Liz Greene at a weekend program in England and is the most complete treatment of the "astrology of the collective" ever done. It explains significant historical and generational trends that correspond to vast planetary cycles, and it also discusses the individual's attunement to the outer planets and the collective psychlogical forces they represent. Among the subjects discussed are: -Generational aspects such as Saturn conjunct Pluto, Saturn conjunct Neptune, Uranus conjunct Pluto, Saturn-Uranus aspects, etc. -The aspects between the outer planets and the personal planets, and the corresponding ability to tap into collective energies. -Transits of the outer plants to individuals' natal planets. -Example charts of people who were especially attuned to collective energies: Marx, Hitler, Lenin, Jung and Freud. -The birth-charts of America and Russia. At a time when "mass psychology" is virtually no better understood than on hundred years ago, in spite of innumrable historical, sociological, and psychological studis of the subject, this book provides convincing evidence that astrology may indeed be the most accurate and useful framework for studying, predicting, and understanding the hidden forces which motivate human beings.

Collectively fascinating planets

Another gem from psychological astrologer, Liz Greene! First written in 1980, you can see the gestation of ideas developed in her later books. With rare sensitivity and psychological understanding, she here discusses outer planet effects in mundane, political astrology, with a focus on the charts of Marx, Lenin, Hitler and the (former) USSR. She predicts with clarity the then-upcoming events of the late 80s/early 90s, namely...

Eye-Opening

This is a very interesting and eye-opening book. It gives you the charts of many famous (or infamous) people, and also the charts of the U.S. and other countries (some of which are no longer around, however, but that's forgivable). It really strengthened my interest in astrology. My only problems with this book are that its chapters can sometimes drone on and on, and that some people might take offense at Ms. Greene's remarks...
