The Astrology of Fate
The Astrology of Fate
Greene’s single-authored work between Saturn (1976) and the Sasportas seminar volumes. The book returns to Jung’s category of fate — moira — and asks whether astrology is a science of what is determined, what is free, or the relation between them. Greene’s answer is Jungian: fate is what the unconscious has not yet become conscious. The horoscope does not predict the determined; it maps the field within which choice operates.
The book reads the planets through classical mythology with more patience than any of Greene’s other works — Chronos, Kronos, Saturn, and the Moirai themselves are given extended treatment. The emphasis throughout is that astrology is only oppressive when the psyche has not yet differentiated from the collective; individuation shifts the chart from prophecy to instruction. The work thereby completes the Greene-Jung alignment: fate is pedagogical, not punitive, and the horoscope is the curriculum.
The book stands as the mid-career consolidation of Greene’s psychological astrology before she partnered with Sasportas to turn the insight into a seminar tradition.
