The american federation of astrologers wasn't very popular from the 1980s and 90s in the 1980s and 90s because there was some sort of split that occurred in the younger with the younger generations of astrologers in the 1970s and 80s where a lot of that generation that came in in the 60s split away from the afa and set up their own separate organizations such as the national council for geocosmic research the international society for astrological research
The association for astrological networking so as a result of that holden's work wasn't as well known i think as it could have been otherwise even though he was like translating texts and publishing some of them eventually in 1992 in 1993 a group of people got together and founded the project hindsight slash r hot translation project where they started translating ancient astrological texts from greek and latin and maybe one or two other languages into english
Astrology started publishing them with the support and they were entirely funded by the the astrological community at that time so this started a revival and a great flourishing of interest in older forms of astrology where for the first time in centuries astrologers were able to go back and read some of the the oldest astrological texts in greek and latin from the hellenistic and medieval traditions in their own language in english in a modern language which is a pretty big deal
The main focal point of activity for this translation project was especially between 1992 and 1998 where they published something like a couple dozen two dozen translations or preliminary translations of some of these ancient astrological texts from greek and latin and this translation project was primarily headed up by the astrologers robert schmidt robert hand and robert zoller unfortunately most of the activity was confined with that translation project in terms
Astrology is terms of that's when the majority of their translations were produced but then the three roberts eventually during the course of the project ended up splitting up so that the project itself didn't end up completing its goal of translating all of the ancient astrological texts which it had originally set out to do interestingly around this time in the late 1980s and early 1990s important to note there was also a sudden surge in interest in the practice of indian astrology in the west
The first organizations which was dedicated to promoting indian astrology and its practice in the west and america was founded the council of vedic astrology was founded in the early 1990s around the same time that all this is taking place so part of the traditional revival was not just a revival of interest in older forms of western astrology but also a revival a sudden surge in interest in studying vedic astrology as well which represented a at least two thousand year old tradition
Astrology had been practiced continually in india up to that point and where the indian tradition had a much more continuous tradition over the past two thousand years than we've had in the west because there weren't as many starts and stops and breaks in the tradition and because astrology continued to be due to its integration with hinduism and integration basically with religious doctrines and culture astrology continued to be permissible in india over the past 2000 years
Astrology fell out of favor in europe and in the west so as a result of that some practices in indian astrology today and modern times are actually much more similar to how western astrology was practiced in ancient times in the west than modern western astrology is at least in the 20th century to ancient western astrology today so that's another interesting piece of that and finally the result of this all of these different translation projects not just from project hindsight
Astrology was one of the main things in the 1990s but now since then there's been other translators and other groups of translations groups that have produced translations so now there are dozens of translations available from many different astrological traditions from the past 4 000 years that are available for astrologers to study and this is a really unique time in history because it means there's more translations that are available now from different traditions of astrology
Astrology have been available at any other time in history which puts us at a very very unique sort of nexus in terms of the timeline in the history of astrology one of the side notes that i want to mention at this point is the uranus neptune conjunctions so the planets uranus neptune form a conjunction basically approximately every 172 years and one of the things that i noticed that was really interesting
