Liz Greene is held in high esteem by astrologers all over the world, professional and non-professional alike. She is a prolific author of books and various publications and has been instrumental in shaping modern psychological astrology.
She
holds a doctorate in psychology and is a qualified Jungian analyst. She also
holds a diploma in counselling from the Centre for Transpersonal Psychology
in London, and a diploma from the Faculty of Astrological Studies, of which
she is a lifetime Patron.
When the Psychological Horoscope Analysis was developed, between 1985 and 1987, it set a milestone in the history of psychological astrology. Liz Greene, the author, and Alois Treindl, a brilliant programmer, created a computerized horoscope interpretation which, to this day, has not been equalled in quality. While earlier computer reports simply listed the elements of an astrological interpretation as unrelated blocks, Alois Treindl, a specialist in "artificial intelligence", went quite a bit further. He was able to create a program which could simulate Liz Greene's very own method of horoscope interpretation during a personal reading.
Instead
of producing a list of sometimes contradictory elements of interpretation,
the Astro*Intelligence Horoscope Analyses present the reader with a synthesis
of the astrological chart, a personal profile describing their basic disposition,
strong main themes and shadow figures. The unique combination of astrology,
Jungian psychology and an amazing literary gift on the one hand, with real
programming genius on the other, has led to the enduring success of these
reports.
The Psychological
Horoscope Analysis was followed by the Child's
Horoscope, the Relationship
Horoscope, the Yearly
Horoscope Analysis and the Long
Term Analysis. In response to frequent requests over the past years,
Liz Greene has written a new analysis called "Career
and Vocation".
Beside her untiring work as an author of astrological books as well as writing for Astrodienst, Liz Greene co-directs the Centre for Psychological Astrology, a well-known school in London. She also directs the CPA Press, a publishing company that focuses on specialist astrological works.
Liz Greene is renowned among astrologers for her excellent in-depth astrology
books. But her bestseller "Astrology for Lovers" doesn't require any previous
astrological knowledge to be understood. Her characterisations of the star
signs in love and relationships are to the point and amusing, but they are
never trivial!
Before you begin the issue
of training or choosing a university programme, you have
to know something about who you are and what kinds of things
you love; what you value and what your skills are; what
you're good at and what you're not good at. Once you have
a pretty good picture of these things, you can make a more
intelligent choice about what sort of direction to go in.
Vocation is not about finding a job that makes money, it's
about feeling that you're living a useful life by doing
something that you love. You can then develop your aptitudes
in service of that, rather than choosing a job simply to
pay for the rent or the weekly groceries. One has to move
from the inside out, rather than from the outside in. The
report is meant to give insights on that level. One needs
to foster more of a psychological attitude to work, rather
than looking at it as a purely external thing. 
Initially
my motivation in working on a computer-generated horoscope was curiosity:
if it were possible for the computer to be programmed to synthesise
horoscope factors according to an "expert system" rather than the
usual linear, non-synthesised interpretations on which all other
computer-generated horoscopes are based, could it come close to a
valid description of character and psychological motivation? I had
no clear idea of what would come out, or even if it would work at
all. I was very surprised by the results. I do not think it would
have been possible with any other programmer, since Alois is quite
brilliant in this field, and unique in terms of his ability to combine
computer science with a knowledge of astrology. 
A
written report cannot replace the personal dialogue between an astrologer
and a client, although it can be immensely helpful. The most important
factor which is missing in a computer-generated horoscope, however sophisticated
it might be, is that the computer cannot determine in what ways the individual
has applied free will and choice in terms of how they express the different
dimensions of the birth chart. A birth chart cannot indicate consciousness,
and a person who has chosen to do inner work and has made the effort
tointegrate the hidden sides of their personality will express planets,
signs and aspects quite differently from a very unconscious person who
simply acts without reflection and blames their problems and conflicts
on everyone else. The difference here lies in the level of expression,
rather than in the basic character itself. The inherent personality is
given in the horoscope, and also the likely ways in which it will unfold
over time. But the more conscious we are, the less "fated" we are by
our unconscious complexes and compulsions. Only a dialogue with the client
can reveal to what extent the individual has accepted responsibility
for their own psyche and their own life.
Although
our views of the cosmos have changed over three millennia, and our
technology has altered our way of relating to external reality, the
essential nature of human beings has not changed much, if at all,
over that time. Astrology is the first psychology and is still perhaps
the most sophisticated one, and it continues to be a tremendously
helpful symbolic map of the essential patterns of development within
both individuals and collectives. The remarkable thing about the
astrological map is that it has so many layers and levels, and is
compatible with many different psychological and spiritual perspectives.
Studying the horoscopes of nations and their leaders can certainly
help us to gain a deeper understanding of world events. But ultimately
the complex problems of the modern world can only be solved by individuals
who are willing to take up the responsibility of living their own
lives more consciously and creatively. Here astrology is perhaps
the most useful tool of all, because it can offer so many insights
into self-understanding. And self-understanding is essential if we
wish to make intelligent and constructive choices that might contribute
to a better world.

as money, health and career, and as such have not been accorded
the deeper importance and value they deserve. When we want to know
whether we will be successful, or whether we will fall ill, we consider
planets in these houses; but otherwise they are not viewed psychologically,
nor do we explore links such as the relationship between mother
and vocation, or the equation of the physical body with self-value,
or the nature of illness as a reflection of inner conflicts. Although
psychological astrologers perceive everything in the horoscope as
symbolic, nevertheless there is a tendency to interpret planets
in these houses literally, missing their more profound significance
and the spheres of the inner life of which the body and its worldly
expressions are a metaphor.
