I am always suspicious when I see the phrase "this book will change your life", but here I am, about to (almost) use it myself.
A book cannot change your life, no no. But, this book will help you understand yourself in a way that enables you to make changes. I have been looking beyond sun signs for around two years and only wish that this had found its way into my life sooner. I look forward to reading the rest of the 'Seminars in Psychological Astrology' series, several numbers of which I have just ordered.
Readers will need basic knowledge of the planets, aspects and houses prior to reading.

Just as Liz Greene and Howard Sasportas' book The Luminaries explained the Moon and Sun from a psychological astrology perspective, the Inner Planets enlightens us about Mercury, Venus and Mars. Although I've studied astrology for a long time, I didn't know much about the myths surrounding Mercury (had quite a laugh reading about my naughty ruler's antics) nor did I understand how truly vain and oriented to personal pleasure Venus could be.
There is something about these 2 books (The Luminaries and The Inner Planets) that has led me to profoundly reflect on whether I had expressed all of my personal potential so far. The Inner Planets are described as means to support expression of the Sun, self-expression, personal radiance, one's personal immortality, one's footprint on earth if you will, so this is extremely important. At the same time, Liz Greene's credentials are such that we are not talking about fly by night theories but solid Jungian psychology translated into the astrological language. These are fascinating books that empowers us readers to make sure we are making the maximum use of the gifts and challenges included in the blue print of our natal charts and to make use of transits and progressions to transform ourselves to our fullest potential. How could this not be an exciting program?

Insightful & Inspiring
17 Oct 2009
Format:Paperback
My husband gave me this book from my wish list. I am very interested in astrology & have great respect for other works by Liz Greene.
I cannot put this book down. And I absolutely must read the previous volumes. Then I will read this Vol 4 again!
Because it is a transcription of a seminar there are references to the previous volumes, expecting the reader to have knowledge of what came before. Yet it is very informative on its own.
Astrology claims we are primarily our sun-sign yet when dealing with personal issues it always seems the focus is on an outer planet's aspect to our inner planets. In isolation.
Understanding how an individual's planets in sign, house & aspect are integrated is difficult because of seeming contradictions. By looking at these 3 planets as psychic components of the personality the authors add personality & character to the planets. My Ah-Ha moment was this statement by LG "One simple definition of Mars is that it is the fighting principle for the Sun, and in a sense the fighting principle for all the inner planets which lie within its orbit." I now have an image of a armored (or amour-ed) warrior defending the Queen (or King) filled w/ nuance of character flaws and strengths.
Of course the planets are discussed in many other forms: mythology, current beliefs, audience participation and reference charts. The author's blending of the spiritual, the science of psychology, and the purely personal makes for a valuable resource in understanding and tolerance. The subtitle "Building Blocks of Personal Reality" is misleading as the work actually removes the block-concept and helped me to see a more cohesive personal whole. 3 down 9 to go.

A must have for the student of astrology
3 Aug 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I originally read this book when I checked it out of the public library. I loved it so much, I knew I would have to eventually find a copy of my own. This is a great book for the novice. Liz Greene's writing style is compelling. Her indepth descriptions of mythological archetypes and the planets they represent make it all make sense. Further discussion of the (inner) planets in relation to their location in your birth chart, and the various astrological aspects are helpful in understanding and how they affect our personalities and the circumstances we are born into. It is a lot of information. I could read it many times and continue to learn more about the basics of astrology and gain greater understand of myself and the people in my life. If you are new to astrology, order the book, then go on-line and get a natal chart done (many can be found for free, so you will have your chart data to compare with her description before your book arrives, as this is not a book that shows you how to calculate!

Great Preliminary Book for defining the really personal planet of the Zodiac
6 May 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a great introductory book for Professional and Beginning Astrologers Alike. I would suggest it for anyone who has even the very basic interest in Astrology. Very Well-written with some great exercises for learning about Astrology.
