HAVE COMMENTS OR UPDATES ON THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION OR LINKS.
This directory contains
mini-biographies
and birth data for astrologers who have made notably unique and positive
contributions, published in the English language, toward the advancement
of astrological understanding and/or technique, and are deemed to deserve
special recognition by the Uranian Institute. All times are
given in 24-hour notation, in accordance with international and
scientific and technical standards -- "PM" times can be converted simply
by subtracting 12 hours. The hour and minute are separated by the
international convention
"h", which normally indicates 24-hour
notation. While
academic degrees do not necessarily indicate expertise in astrology per
se; they do, in most cases, and under normal circumstances, indicate the
intellectual discipline required for sound reasoning and knowledge of
how to process and convey information sensibly and responsibly.
Certification by astrological organizations is sometimes indicated.
| A special thanks goes to Donna Cunningham for
her creation of the many links below to more detailed biographies
from her Solstice Point website, which includes an Astrologers'
Memorial dedicated to those astrologers who have gone on to another
plane. Hans Taeger built a database of German astrologers,
similar in structure to this one, which is included in the website
listed after his name below. For information on
numerous practicing astrologers of today, with bios written by the
astrologers themselves, you might also want to visit the Directory
of Professional Astrologers on the StarIQ website. |

Lois Rodden. DAV Database gives 22h20 (AS16LE37) from
Gauquelin in a personal interview published in the Oct/Nov 1986
issue of Astrologie Heute. In the 1950s, the exhaustive
systematic research of Gauquelin and his wife, Françoise, rattled
the chains of the most reactionary of conservative scientists around
the world as they put their statistical proof of astrological
influence into print. Organized efforts to debunk the
Gauquelin research were made; yet the arguments of critics were
later often proven to be based on faulty or even deliberately fudged
data. It made people wonder why astrology had such rabid
critics -- what drove them to go to such unfair means to disprove
something they often knew little about? Later research in the
1990s by German scientist Suitbert Ertel further validated many of
the Gauquelins' conclusions. Pertinent

RUDOLPH: A colleague of Alfred Witte, and one of
the founders of the Hamburg School of Astrology. After detainment
and banning of his astrological publications by the Nazis, Mr
Rudolph reconstructed Witte's works after World War II and published
the more recent editions of the Rules for Planetary Pictures,
which included supplemental material by Hermann Lefeldt, and served
as the primary reference for Hamburg School Astrologers until the
first edition of the Brummund Rulebook,
dedicated to him and written by one of his most admiring
students, was written (1st ed 1979, 2nd ed 1990). Ludwig
Rudolph, with the endorsement of Alfred Witte, also developed the
4th-harmonic 90° dial for simplified midpoint detection. Much
of his work was borrowed and utilized by Reinhold Ebertin and the
Cosmobiologists, starting during World War II. |

| ALFRED
WITTE: Born 1878.March.02 at 21h12 Sun Time in
Hamburg, Germany, 53n34 x 10e02 (AS 19LI31) recorded in Der
Mensch, a German anthology of articles by Witte and his Hamburg
School contemporaries. An avid researcher of various
astrological techniques, Witte brought about the popularization of
the use of midpoints in 20th century astrology. He was a key
developer of the German Hamburg School of Astrology, which lay the
groundwork for both Uranian Astrology and Cosmobiology. Witte
is attributed with having discovered 4 Transneptunian celestial
factors, later supplemented with another 4 by his colleague
Friedrich Sieggrün. Cosmobiology developed the same basic
techniques while excluding use of the 8 extra Transneptunians and
other factors controversial among contemporary conventional
thinkers. Pertinent website at uranian-institute.org/bfwitte.htm |
