This book , I would have to say, is a great value. It is so rich and full of references to the western classical mythologies of antiquity and to influential writers of the Middle Ages (Marcilio Ficino), that I felt like I was getting a real education. I have another book by this writer, Liz Greene, called Saturn: A New Look at an Old Devil; and I just have to say that Ms. Greene is a gifted writer who has a very engaging mind. Yes, I have studied astrology. And while Astrology of Fate is obviously a great and enriching read for students of astrology, it is presented intelligently, and in such a way that anyone interested in psychology, or just deeper questions and issues in life - particularly with regard to suffering, oppression, powerlessness, to name a few - would certainly be intrigued. The book is heavy on Pluto, but Pluto is a heavyweight, astrologically speaking. It can't be easy to write about ideas and topics associated with the subject of fate, but Greene does quite well with it, even when, at times, the complexity of the themes are reflected in the writing. Especially interesting was the section on Myth and the Zodiac. There were insights shared here that have really helped increase my understanding, or potential understanding, of others' lives and dilemmas. This book is very, very reasonably priced for the plutonian dragon's hoard of riches it contains! [My apologies for not underlining book titles.]

I have read this book through once and then referred back to it many, many times over the years. This book may be Liz's magnum opus. It really does bring together in one book many of Greene's main ideas as far as astrology is concerned. It is very philopsophical however and would not be a book for the beginning student, nor the student wishing to get specific info on certain astrological principles. It is very much a Ninth House book! I found it fascinating reading, though challenging. And I marveled at Liz's depth of knowledge and insight into the human condition. Her analysis of the 12 Zodiacal Signs as they relate to Greco-Roman mythology was really neat. The section on Pluto as an integral indicator of Fate was especially well done. All in all a very fine work!

Until I read this book, I thought I just couldn't receive any more enlightenment on Pluto, until this book. I avoided because of the cover, it was not appealing at first. But one day I was just in so much Plutoian pain that I faced my fears & all of my fears were totally revealed for the first time in my life. It changed everything I did in my life from that time on. I'm glad I finally got over my fears.

This book is essentially about Pluto and how he can temper our hubris. Liz Greene's style may be too 'heavy' for some, but if you are serious about astrology or interested in depth psychology you will find it a gem.
The author offers lots of quotes--from Joseph Campbell to James Hillman to Jung. I think these words from Jung best sum up the meaning of 'fate' in the title: "A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passion has never overcome them...whenever we give up, leave behind, and forget too much, there is always the danger that the things we have neglected will return with added force."
This book is not only recommended to astrology students. Those with Pluto, Scorpio or 8th house prominent in their natal charts will find it helpful too.

The title of this book might imply a certain hopelessness or a sense of being trapped by Fate. Nothing could be further from the truth. What this book reinforced for me is the knowledge that when we begin to comprehend the necessity behind our existence, there is liberation. When we get down to the bedrock of who we are, we see that our true individuality makes us participants in the journey of our life, not helpless creatures stuck in a vast spider web of someone else's making. The Astrology of Fate reminds me of James Hillman's book, The Soul's Code, which also showed me that in accepting and understanding who I truly am, I can be more than the facts of my life--or the configuration of my stars.

This is about the best book I could recommend on Pluto. I'm a professional Astrologer and have been teaching since 1978 and I frequently recommend this book to my clients and students who want to know more about Pluto. Liz writes extremely well and offers insights I've never read anywhere else. A Masterpiece and a MUST for every student of Astrology!

Simply one of the best books ever produced by modern astrology. Liz Greene's encyclopedic knowledge of mythology reaches its brilliant climax - with her admirable depth of philosophical survey - in this masterwork.
