Astrology legitimate form of of wisdom or information or what have you so astrology only survives at this time from the 17th and the 19th centuries for the most part through the form of popular almanacs which were kind of like low-level astrology that continued to survive and be popular in a minor sense during that time but for the most part this was after the heyday of astrology during the renaissance in europe
Astrology were not as many astrologers practicing and not as many astrological textbooks that were being produced during this period from the 17th through the 19th centuries even though there were there were still some it was the practice was greatly reduced and went into a low point for a couple of centuries so eventually we get to the rebirth of rebirth of astrology in the 20th century and what happened is part of it or part of the contributing factor
Astrology was again another change in culture where there was this in the mid 19th century the growth of spiritualism and eventually the theosophical society and the beginning of what we know of today is like the modern age the the modern day new age movement began in the mid to late 19th century and then really took off by the early 20th century so this was a period where people became more open to and it became more fashionable to talk about things like karma and reincarnation and ghosts
The afterlife and spirits and talking with spirits and different things like that so it's a whole period where there was a lot of interest in almost like paranormal and occult topics suddenly became trendy or came into vogue again all of a sudden and astrology is one of the things that as a sort of side effect of that it led to a renewed public interest in astrology basically so in the english-speaking world there's an astrologer named alan leo who's often credited with instigating the revival
Astrology having a major role in impacting the revival of astrology at that time and making it more accessible by setting up different astrological associations and also especially because of his publication of a bunch of books on astrology that helped to popularize the subject in english and some of those books were also translated into other european languages which had some impact on spring a revival to some extent in other languages across europe as well so alan leo
Horoscope was a theosophist so his books also not just incorporated theosophical and new age ideas but also through the major publishing arm of the theosophical society that allowed him to have a huge reach across the world and have his books reach a lot more people than it would have otherwise and that's part of the reason why he's credited with instigating or at least contributing to the revival even though there are other astrologers around that time
Astrology that were writing books and participating in organizations and magazines and other publications as well so alan leo sought to simplify the system and make it easier to learn because he found it to be very complicated when he first started learning it as a student so part of his goal was to break it down and simplify it just to make it easier for new students to take up the subject because he was very passionate about it and he wanted to share that with lots of people
Astrology also had a greater focus on character analysis and we start seeing a shift in astrology in the early 20th century that goes through and accelerates throughout the 20th century of a shift from astrology being more about prediction in traditional astrology to eventually being more about character analysis and then eventually later after the the birth of depth psychology in the 20th century it eventually became very much focused on psychological analysis and introspection
Astrology will give as well but this is something that we already see getting going really heavily with alan leo and his focus on character analysis and he liked to repeat the the phrase character is destiny and also at this time astrology largely becomes associated with the new age movement and the sort of like that like i said new age concepts like karma and reincarnation and other sort of fringe topics like that or other philosophical topics
Astrology that were being mixed together to form a new philosophy of some sort but i don't want to go on a whole digression about what the new age movement was that's a whole topic into itself so eventually in modern astrology there's a few developments that we need to talk about in the 20th century so first we see the introduction or at least the popularization of sunshine astrology from the 1930s forward where in newspapers and magazines
