Customer Reviews

If you want to really understand Neptune, this is your book!
The very nature of Neptune in the horoscope is so vague, foggy and ethereal that it defies organized description. Instead of attempting this, although there is a "cookbook" section in the back of the book, Liz Greene uses words to allow you to *experience* Neptune. As with the other transpersonal planets, Pluto and Uranus, understanding how Neptune operates in individuals and relationships is crucial. This is not a good book for beginning astrologers, or for anyone who doesn't prefer or enjoy a psychological approach to the subject. For those who do and have some experience with the language of astrology, you'll love it!

Greene's Neptune is the best book on the subject I've read.
Liz Greene is my favorite astrology writer and I think this is one of her best books. She has a highly sophisticated psychological and astrological understanding and is a gifted writer. There were some sections where I felt she was able to "describe" water, which is the slippery, fluid, ever-changing essence of Neptune. Another bonus is Ms. Greene's command of history and mythology, which puts everything in perspective.

A masterpiece. A must read for all "Neptunians."
This book is nothing short of amazing. Beautifully and intelligently written, it manages to skillfully reveal the complex and nebulous meanings of Neptune through the use of myth, psychology, astrology, history, insight, and compassion. I would recommend it even to those not interested in astrology, as it has great insights to offer those who have ever experineced such common human experiences as a troubled relationship, a profound yearning, or a spiritual crisis.
