new understanding 
This book is an easy read for the beginner astrologer, which is my level of prior knowledge. It is clear to understand, with lots of examples.

great for saturn types like me...
From a psychological standpoint, it really can clear some strange things up for you, especially if you've got a million aspects to Saturn like I do. Totally clear, AND most importantly, she doesn't forcast the doom and gloom other idiot astrologers proclaim when talking about Saturn. Truth is, freedom isn't free, and if you've set yourself up to get it in this life, Saturn is your best friend. Yay!!!!! Liz Greene!!!!!!

Saturn would be disappointed 
This book has some serious weeknesses:
1. The author seems to be confused about the nature of Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, and thus she keeps on mislabeling the energies of these planets. She keeps on pointing out how misunderstood these planets are, and I think that notion applies to her first and foremost.
2. The book attempts to assimilate the occult perspective on outer planets, as it has been done by Alice Bailey, and the author seems to have bought wholesale into the Bailey's theories instead of developing her own understanding based on her own experience. Granted, that is hard to do with Saturn because of lengthy time-span involved into such a study, but the book would be a lot better had she done so. Unfortunately now it has a ton of hints and poetic allusions to the occult nature of Saturn and its myth, but severely lacks solid psychological perspective. A good book on Saturn, considering the natural Saturn-Moon opposition, would be an in-depth study of emotion and it's affect on how we function and build our lives. The author touches on it, but superficially. She talks about the pain of Saturn, but never explains why it is painful. She also talks about the rewards of Saturn, but doesn't give clues on how to turn Saturn into being rewarding. Where does it stop being painful and becomes rewarding? As a result, you find a lot of correlations to your life in this book, but absolutely no info on how to transform it. Thus Saturn will remain for you after reading this book what he has always been --"The Devil" and "The Great Malefic", something that will come and hit you on the head during the transit.
3. The writing style is nausating with "pie in the sky" metaphore. Saturn would appreciate a little more matter-of-factness and insight.

astrology classic
...it's certainly a classic in psychological astrology that teach people to respect the laws of Saturn.

For those serious about their astrology 
Liz Greene is extremely adept at holding the information surrounding planetary influence. This book is actually, I think, one of her better books. She is able to get to the point in a manner that is not especially true in all of her books. If you are a serious student or a professional... you definitely want this book in your collection. If you are dabbling... go dabble somewhere else. Liz Greene, although really quite brilliant... is not an effortless read. And it is not the complexity of the subject matter. She just is not a very dynamic writer and her books tend to be very dry and not very reader friendly. If that one HUGE thing was different it would be a 5 star all the way!
