Astrologers they start to present astrological columns that focus on the 12 signs of the zodiac and where you're supposed to be able to look at it just based on knowing your birth date you only have to know your birth date because that will tell you roughly what your sun sign is and whatever the position of your sun is in the 12 signs of the zodiac that becomes your sign and then you're able to read like a forecast for that specific sign so this wasn't as common of a concept prior
Astrology to the 20th century and if you go back and look at the hellenistic texts when they talk about your sign or other traditional texts they're usually talking about your rising sign and that's supposed to be the most personal part in the chart that has more to do with your personality or personal characteristics whereas what happens in the 20th century is that part of the popularization of astrology was a shift towards sun signs so that gets going from the 1930s onwards
Astrology becomes extremely popular and helps to repopularize astrology in the public consciousness additionally there's some astrologers that continued the push towards character analysis that was initiated by alan leo and other astrologers around that time period but another astrologer a few decades later dane rodyard starting in the 1930s starts bringing in the concepts that are being introduced from depth psychology and in particular he starts incorporating from a very early stage
The work of the psychologist carl jung young into astrology with dane rodyard's one of his his first book which is titled the astrology of personality so i did a whole episode on dane radyar with chet zadrowski at one point so you can check that out if you'd like to learn more about that and i also did a whole episode on the revival of astrology and modern times with nicholas campion at one point another episode so you can check that episode out for more about that as well but anyways
Astrology really accelerates this push towards a tendency to focus on internal states in 20th century astrology and astrology shifts so that it becomes more of a tool for psychological analysis and counseling rather than something that is strictly predictive or deterministic or fatalistic or what have you which increasingly 20th century astrology starts to differentiate itself from the earlier traditions which it starts conceptualizing as more fatalistic and a lot of the excitement
Astrology starts being about depth psychology and the integration of astrology and psychology additionally in the 20th century or at least by the 20th century we see the real incorporation of outer planets which have been around like uranus and neptune were discovered over the previous two centuries but eventually in the 1930s we find we there's the discovery of pluto and then other bodies including the asteroids different asteroids start being discovered as well and from the 1980s forward
Astrology a huge push to integrate things like asteroids where by that time the outer planets had been fully integrated into astrology and were even starting to replace some of the traditional planetary rulers as rulers of the signs of the zodiac so that uranus in modern astrology and 20th century astrology came to replace saturn as the ruler of aquarius neptune came to replace what jupiter as the ruler of pisces and some astrologers eventually assigned pluto to the sign of scorpio
Horoscope represented for the first time for the first time in almost 2000 years a major overhaul and change to the fundamental makeup of the astrological system where the rulership scheme itself started being tinkered with by modern astrologers in general one of my feelings or one of my impressions about modern astrology in the 20th century is that there was this emphasis on innovation rather than tradition and i'm not sure it's like in some instances this is deliberate in some instances
Astrology just like the thing to do and was more unconscious but there seems to have been an emphasis on inventing new techniques and coming up with like the next big thing rather than just you know passing on the tradition and copying it over sort of slavishly there was more of an emphasis on on innovation as part of one of the things that seems somewhat characteristic about 20th century astrology
Astrology led to a great flourishing and sort of proliferation of many new techniques and new ideas in 20th century astrology in addition to the new new things that were happening just as a result of like new discoveries like new outer planets being discovered necessarily causing the astrologers to start changing changing the system so there was in the 1960s a large influx of younger astrologers that came in partially due to the counter culture movement and in america
