Luminaries: Psychology of the Sun and Moon in the Horoscope (Seminars in Psychological Astrology): 3

In this book, Liz Greene and Howard Sasportas describe the Moon first (interestingly) and the Sun next. The Moon is first because of the importance of the Mother-newborn relationship in establishing life-long pyscholog patterns, instinctive behaviors. Often, when the relationship to the mother is flawed in some way, this can lead to excessive preoccupation with matters related to feelings, compulsions, survival matters, to the detriment of solar expression. So while the Moon is about nourishment, both of the body and of the emotions, the Sun is about self-expression and about man's desire for eternity.Even though I'd been studying astrology for over 30 years, this book was very enlightening and full of surprises. It also says a lot about the Moon and Sun in elements, signs, aspects, but not so much in a cookbook way. Rather it teaches you to understand how the principles at stake relate to one another, which is the proper, intuitive way to learn astrology. A mandatory read for would-be astrologers!

A great book for a beginner like me, easy to read and not bogged down in to much technical stuff , loved it

One more unique book by these authors. Liz Greene's profound thinking never ceases to impress.

Great book by a great author

Superb!

good

:)

Not very good

This completes my collection of Greene-Sasportas books and is informative even for the advanced astrology student. It is well worth reading, offering some interesting perspectives I hadn't come across before.

Wonderful and enjoyable book by the great Liz Greene and Howard Sasportas that should be present in every Astrology student home. It has the power to highly transform your life by shedding light on the important (and most of the times unknown) aspects concerning your Sun and Moon, impacting your whole chart and existence.

One of the best books I've read so far.Greene and Sasportas mix a great deal of psychology aspects with astrology to let us better understand the personality behind a chart. The main purpose of the book is to explore the vast meaning of both Sun and Moon, so easily overlooked or misunderstood in modern astrology. The seminar might seem out of the reach of beginners but in reality it's very well structured and accompanies the reader through myth and aspects so to encompass any previous knowledge or to introduce the Moon and Sun to any newbie.At first I wasn't quite sure it would be that helpful since I'm navigating through quite experienced waters - couldn't be more wrong. I had a lot of latent questions answered here and overall gained a handful of interesting aspects to delve deeper into.For the beginners - there's really no better way to get started. Probably the information here is a lot more in depth than you can store (especially in with one read only) but it gives solid bases for your future work. I'd definitely buy this book as a foundation to go back to whenever I need to.Can't recommend it enough.

Todos os livros da Liz Green são excelentes. Ainda mais com a contribuição de Howard Saasportas. Todos eles fundamentais para quem estuda Astrologia.

Liz Greene is a consumate astrologer, psychologist and humanist. She is clear, precise, warm and insightful, and gives many examples of the function of these fundamental archetypes in the make up of our personalities. I read this book many years ago, and it is still a basic reference for me when approaching a chart reading. Far from simply a cook book of traits, Ms. Greene offers the underlying "hero's journey" of the psyche as it confronts the challenges of life and strives for the mastery of an integrated and successful living experience. The Center for Psychological Astrology, based in England, has contributed invaluable insight into astrology as a diagnostic and treatment tool for psychologists in the modern age. This is one of many excellent books from their seminars.
