Liz Greene (born September 4, 1946 in Englewood , New Jersey ) is a US-American-British psychoanalyst based on CG Jung , astrologer and depth psychology-oriented author .

Life

Liz Greene grew up as the daughter of an English father and an American mother with her older brother Richard in the US state of New Jersey. Even as a teenager she was involved in psychology and astrology , in addition to art , theater and music . After completing her bachelor's and master's degree in psychology in Boston and Los Angeles , she came to London in 1975 , her father's home, where her brother now also lived. She recognized diagnostic and therapeutic options in the combination of psychology and astrology. Her first book Saturn - A new look at an old devil (1976) is one of the classics of modern psychological astrology. At the Center for Transpersonal Psychology in London, she received a diploma from the Faculty of Astrological Studies and has since become a psychoanalyst by CG Jung . In 1983 she and Howard Sasportas founded the Center for Psychological Astrology (CPA) in London , which offers training in psychological astrology. In addition, Greene practiced her psychoanalytic and astrological practice, largely separated from one another, on Estelle Road in Hampstead, London. She later also became director of CPA Press, a publishing house that publishes psychological-astrological non-fiction books.

With her books and seminars, Greene made a great contribution to combining astrological elements with a depth psychological interpretation system and thus shaped psychological astrology worldwide. She is - together with Alois Treindl - the author of special computer-generated horoscope interpretations, in which not individual constellations are listed, but rather an overview of the personality is attempted. Her psychological horoscope , which she developed between 1985 and 1987, is considered a milestone in psychological astrology. This was followed by the children's horoscope , the relationship horoscope , the annual analysis , the long-term perspectives and, finally, the career and calling horoscope . Her great knowledge of mythology also attracts attention. In April 2010 she was awarded a doctorate by the Department of History at the University of Bristol for the work The Kabbalah in British Occultism 1860-1940 . For a number of years, Liz Greene has been heavily involved in the Sophia Project , which enables a study of the importance of astrology in culture and history at British universities, initially at Bath Spa University , currently at the University of Wales, Lampeter . For her services to astrology, she received the Charles Harvey Award from the Astrological Association of Great Britain in 2000 .

Center for Psychological Astrology

Education and research began in London in 1980 with a sporadic series of seminars on psychological astrology in London, which Liz Greene and Howard Sasportas offered as basic courses and one-day courses for advanced students, from which the Center for Psychological Astrology was founded only a few years later . In 1981 evening courses and seminars by other tutors were added, including the seminars on tarot and Kabbalah with Juliet Sharman-Burke and Warren Kenton. The previously thrown together astrology classes were placed under a patronage, so that in 1982 the prototype of the Center for Psychological Astrology was founded. Richard Aisbitt, a self-practicing astrologer, took over the administrative work.

The Center for Psychological Astrology, as it exists today, was founded in 1983 by Liz Greene and Howard Sasportas in London with the aim of incorporating a variety of psychological topics into their seminars; Other areas of the depth psychology about the Humanistic Psychology through to transpersonal psychology . The focus was on the works of CG Jung , Sigmund Freud and Melanie Klein . The diploma classes were occasionally created with other tutors who came to the Center for Psychological Astrology as freelancers. The center developed and consolidated its training program until the tragic death of co-director Howard Sasportas in 1992. After his death, Charles Harvey took office. Richard Aisbitt was Head of Administration until 1994, since then Juliet Sharman-Burke has been. At the beginning of 2000, co-director Charles Harvey died, leaving Liz Greene alone as director. Since 2011, the Center for Psychological Astrology has been teaching as an Academy of Sciences in the style of a Platonic Academy .
