Career
Greene is one of the chief writers for astro.com, the website for her company Astrodienst.
Greene has written several astrology books based on Jungian psychology[1] and other forms of depth psychology, contributing to an application of astrology called "Psychological astrology".
In 1985 Greene started co-operating with Alois Treindl, founder of Swiss-based Astrodienst, on the development of computer-generated horoscopes, which would present a person with a chart synthesis, simulating Greene's own method of horoscope interpretation during a personal reading.[2] In 1987, they presented the Psychological Horoscope Analysis, which was followed by several other interpretations.
With Howard Sasportas, Greene co-founded the Centre for Psychological Astrology in London.[3][4] After Sasportas' death in 1992, astrologer Charles Harvey took over as co-director,[2] until his death in 2000. Greene continues directing the organisation. In addition, she also directs CPA Press, a publishing company that focuses on specialist astrological works.
Greene's book Saturn: A New Look at an Old Devil (1976), applied Jungian psychology to revise the image of Saturn as a planet of misfortune, recasting it in a more Jungian image.[citation needed]
Greene wrote a historical novel in 1980, The Dreamer of the Vine, dealing with the themes of Nostradamus and the Jesus bloodline.[5] Her remaining books have been on topics applying principles of psychoanalysis to astrology (Psychological astrology). Many are transcripts of her lectures, and many are co-authored, especially with Howard Sasportas.
In addition to giving lectures and directing a certificate programme in psychological astrology, Greene has continued to produce many books, all of which are now published by her own company, the CPA Press. She has also co-authored, with Juliet Sharman-Burke, a deck of tarot cards, the "Mythic Tarot".[citation needed]
Her books include Saturn: A New Look at an Old Devil, the philosophically-inclined The Astrology of Fate, The Outer Planets & Their Cycles, The Luminaries (with H. Sasportas) and The Dark of the Soul.
In April 2010, the History Department of the University of Bristol, England, granted her a doctorate degree for her thesis "The Kabbalah in British Occultism 1860-1940".[6]
