Western Astrology

Galileo Galilei (1564–1642 CE), the father of modern science, united observation and faith at the dawn of the Scientific Revolution. Though trained in astrology, he redefined the study of the heavens through measurement and mathematics. His telescopic discoveries challenged old beliefs, transforming astrology’s symbolic cosmos into astronomy’s precise universe.

Liz Greene (born 1946), a Jungian analyst and astrologer, pioneered psychological astrology by integrating depth psychology, myth, and the symbolic language of the planets. Her works, including Saturn: A New Look at an Old Devil and The Astrology of Fate, transformed astrology into a tool of self-understanding and inner growth.

Howard Sasportas (1948–1992), co-founder of the Centre for Psychological Astrology with Liz Greene, brought warmth, depth, and humanity to modern astrology. Author of The Twelve Houses and The Luminaries, he helped redefine astrology as a language of psychological insight and compassion. His work made astrology a guide for self-awareness and healing.

Jeffrey Wolf Green (1946–2016), founder of Evolutionary Astrology, redefined astrology as the study of the soul’s evolution across lifetimes. His works Pluto: The Evolutionary Journey of the Soul and Pluto: The Soul’s Evolution Through Relationships reveal astrology as a sacred psychology of transformation, guiding humanity toward spiritual freedom.

Richard Tarnas (born 1950), philosopher and cultural historian, revived astrology as a serious discipline of meaning through his works The Passion of the Western Mind and Cosmos and Psyche. Drawing on Jungian archetypes and planetary cycles, he revealed a participatory cosmos in which human consciousness and celestial patterns unfold together in profound synchrony.
