he Society of Astrologers is dedicated to the
study and practice of the authentic astrology of medieval, Renaissance &
Early Modern Europe. The name, Society of Astrologers, honors the original society
of our illustrious predecessors which met in London in the mid-17th century.
The Society was founded in 2007 by practicing traditional astrologers who felt it was
time for an organization devoted solely to the astrology of the European Middle
Ages, Renaissance and Early Modern periods.
The Society of Astrologers fully supports all systems of
astrology, but in order to provide a safe haven for traditional astrology and to
stay on topic limits all Society activities, including discussion
groups, publications, lectures and conferences, to astrological techniques in use
between 1200 and 1700 in Europe. Members are, of course, free to utilize whatever
methodology they wish in their own practices.
The Society of Astrologers is an unincorporated
non-profit association organized under the laws of the District of Columbia,
D.C. Code § 29-971.01, et seq. The Society is dedicated to avoiding
involvement in external politics and internal power struggles, therefore there are
no officers and no elections. Decisions are made, as much as possible, through
consultation and consensus. The focus is on individual initiative by volunteers
who take the lead in designing and implementing projects under the aegis and with
the support of the Society. Membership in the Society is free and the Society holds no
funds.
Currently the Society of Astrologers has two types of
membership: associate membership, open to all and practicing membership, open to
practicing traditional astrologers. Details regarding membership can be found
at Joining the Society. All Members receive
the Society Journal and practicing members, the elite of
traditional astrology, are listed in the
Member Directory.

is composed of leading traditional astrologers who assist in the Society's
consultative and consensus process. Members of the Advisory Board include:
