Famous Liz Greene Quotes

“An astrological placement describes an arrow which points somewhere, a creative energy which gradually layers flesh onto the bare bones of archetypal patterning, an intelligent movement which, over time, fills in the stark black-and-white outlines of the essential life-myth with the subtle colours of experience and individual choice.”

“This is called the tabula rasa theory—the notion that how other people treated you in early life gives rise to certain patterns or “scripts” which then determine your self-image and your expectations of what will happen to you later in life. (...) Now psychological astrology views all this slightly differently. Rather than just being born a blank slate and having things done to you which then lead you to form opinions about life and yourself, psychological astrology believes that you are already born with an innate predisposition which expects certain things to happen.”

“Psychological astrology has, like the old Roman god Janus, a double face. It can provide a surgical scalpel which cuts through to the underlying motives, complexes, and family inheritance which lie behind the manifest problems and difficulties which the individual faces; and it can also provide a lens through which can be viewed the teleology and purpose of our conflicts in context of the overall meaning of the individual's journey.”

“An archetype can be defined as a mental representation of an instinct. (...) We are already born with an image of mother, an image of that archetype; and we are already born with an image of father, an image of birth, an image of growth, an image of death, etc. But different people have slightly different images of these archetypal phenomena.”

“This word “individuality” is used a great deal these days, often to describe behaviour which runs against the collective norm. But we are using it here to describe a loyalty to one's own unique nature—an embrace of all the characters in the play. Individuality costs, as T.S. Eliot once wrote, nothing less than everything, and many are understandably not prepared to pay the price of the internal freedom they claim they want.”

“The lunar light which lures us back toward regressive fusion with mother and the safety of the uroboric container is also the light which teaches us how to relate, to care for ourselves and others, to belong, to feel compassion. (...) The solar light which leads us into anxiety, danger and loneliness is also the light which instructs us in our hidden divinity and—as Pico della Mirandola put it in the 15th century—our right to be proud co-creators of God's universe.”
