Reframe Saturn from a doom planet into a psychological initiation: the places where life feels most blocked, lonely, or heavy are where Saturn is asking for honesty, responsibility, and conscious growth. Greene walks Saturn through signs, houses, aspects, and synastry, weaving myth, depth psychology, and real-life examples so you see how your Saturn story plays out in work, love, family, and your relationship with authority and time itself.​​

What you can get from reading it

• A nuanced picture of your personal Saturn placement, beyond “restriction,” showing the specific fears, defenses, and growth tasks tied to your sign and house.​
• Insight into how Saturn aspects to other planets (Sun, Moon, Venus, Mars, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) shape patterns like depression, commitment issues, creative blocks, or power struggles — and what those experiences are trying to mature in you.​
• A way to see Saturn transits and the Saturn return not as cosmic punishment but as structured phases of stripping away illusions, consolidating strength, and owning your authority.​​
• Rich mythological and fairy-tale lenses that make Saturn’s energy feel archetypal and meaningful, rather than purely technical or fatalistic.​
• Practical, psychologically informed reflections that help you work with Saturn’s “old devil” side — guilt, shame, feeling like an outsider — as raw material for deeper self-respect and emotional resilience.​
