Generally I enjoy reading Greene's seminar transcripts and this was another fascinating read for me. It was a change of pace to see astrology through a Freudian lens rather than a Jungian one (Greene acknowledges that most psychological astrologers take a Jungian approach, but says that Freud did more work with defense mechanisms.) I had put off reading this book for a while because I thought the topic might be a bit heavy—"How to see how defensive and neurotic you are through your natal chart!"—but Greene states early on that defenses are a healthy part of the psyche and can stimulate creative responses to the challenges we face. Only when a defense mechanism becomes destructive may it need to be worked with. While I learned a lot from both seminars, I thought the material on Chiron was especially useful; Greene explained Chiron's function in a way that finally makes sense to me. Although I agree with her that many people will be uncomfortable that Chiron's myth isn't pretty, the wound isn't justly received, and—possibly hardest of all to accept—it cannot be healed.
A fine book and worth the read if you can find a copy. It's out of print in paper and at this writing, the used book prices are astronomical, but it's also available as an e-book. ( )
