For nearly fifty years, The Astrological Association of Great Britain has been serving astrology by informing and bringing together astrologers from all over the world. Whatever your area of interest or level of expertise, from beginner to professional, we’re sure you’ll find our website an invaluable resource.
The AA maintains friendly links with all other astrological organisations and has a distinctive contribution to make. No matter what your level of experience, whether student or teacher, amateur or professional, or whether your approach to astrology is traditional or modern, scientific or spiritual, the AA has a place for you.
The AA was formed at 7.22 pm on 21 June 1958 in London by a group of astrologers from the Astrological Lodge, which itself had been founded by Alan Leo in 1915. The two most prominent members were John Addey, who originated the theory of harmonics, and Roy Firebrace, the sidereal astrologer and founder of the magazine, Spica. They were backed by Charles Carter and many other prominent Lodge members, including Joan Rodgers, Margaret Hone and Ingrid Lind.
The founding members’ main purpose was to bring astrology out of the fringe and into society’s mainstream. John Addey contributed both his profound understanding of Platonic philosophy, in which the stars and planets reveal the passage of time, and time itself allows the unfolding of the Ideas which emanate from the First Cause, or Creator, and his flare for statistical and mathematical research.
The AA currently has about 1,600 members, 1,000 in the UK and the rest around the world. Most members keep in touch with the AA via its four publications. In June 2008 the AA celebrates its 50th birthday.
In Australia, astrologers are represented by the Federation of Australian Astrologers Inc. The FAA is the national governing body made up of affiliated member associations consisting of Individuals who seek membership and are Australian residents may join these affiliated associations.
The National Council for Geocosmic Research, Inc., (NCGR) is a non-profit organization dedicated to raising the standards of astrological education and research. Though it began as “national,” NCGR’s current membership of about 2500 includes a growing number of international members. The organization’s activities include sponsoring local Chapters (currently 42 located in 26 states and 4 countries). Additionally, several Special Interest Groups (SIGs) cross wide geographical areas to foster dialogue among people of similar astrological specialties.
Professionally certified astrologers among NCGR members have passed all four levels of an education and testing program based on a comprehensive curriculum widely respected for its excellence and rigor.
In addition in the US, there are many state associations such as the Arizona Society of Astrologers, Astrological Society of Connecticut, and several others.
