The hippies and different cultural groups like that there seemed to be an influx of astrologers into the community at that time in the 1960s and 70s in the u.s linda goodman published her book what's it called sun signs in 1968 and it sold some ridiculous amount of like like millions of copies and it sort of became a sort of high high water mark in terms of the public perception of astrology and public culture where everybody knew what their sun sign was and astrology
Astrology became mainstream once again after not being mainstream for several centuries but the way in which astrology was mainstream was different in the 20th century compared to earlier due to this shift in emphasis towards character analysis and the shift towards sunshine astrology additionally by the second half in the second half and especially the second the the fourth quarter of the 20th century the rise of computers
Personal computers and then eventually the internet made it easier to calculate charts and you didn't have to know how to do all of the math by hand all of a sudden but instead you could get a chart calculated in a matter of seconds rather than the period of time that would take it up to that point to calculate it by hand so this is kind of a big deal because for centuries up to this point in order to calculate a birth chart you needed to know the underlying astronomy and the underlying math
Horoscope in order to be able to do it and you would have to have like an ephemeris which would tell you the planetary positions in the past for every day and every year covering the time period where you wanted to look up somebody's birth chart of the day they were born and you'd also have to use other other tables in order to calculate the houses or in order to calculate what time zone was in effect
Astrology to know what part of the day and what the rising degree was you could calculate the ascendant correctly so it was kind of an involved process to calculate a birth chart and it created kind of a barrier to entry where you had to at least be able to do the basic mathematics involved and have the basic reference books in order to be able to calculate a birth chart and then interpret
Astrology sudden now in the past few decades first with the rise of personal computers and then more recently with the rise of websites that will calculate birth charts for you or even nowadays mobile phone apps anybody can calculate a birth chart all you need to know is your birth date birth place and birth time and you can get a chart calculated in a matter of seconds so that is lowered the barrier to entry and made it so that anybody
Astrology can do the complex mathematical calculations of astrology relatively easily and this is kind of an interesting shift compared to previous centuries where for many centuries the astrologers were also astronomers and the astrologers were sometimes mathematicians or people that were capable of doing the advanced calculations that were necessary in order to calculate a birth chart like johannes kepler or claudius ptolemy or other famous astronomical figures
Astrology were also astrologers but nowadays that's changed just due to the advent of computers and that's an interesting thing that we're still getting used to in culture what what sort of implications that have has for the practice of astrology and its prevalence around the world so eventually later in the 20th century we start to see the revival of traditional astrology and the context for this development is that there weren't a lot of texts from the earlier tradition
Astrology were available to modern astrologers in the 20th century until very recently so part of this is just due to availability like the texts not being available or not being widely available in print form because they weren't kept in print but the other thing is that in order to read some of the old texts from like let's say the medieval tradition or the hellenistic tradition or even the you know the ancient mesopotamian tradition you have to have special language skills
Astrology in order to be able to read those texts like you have to know latin to read some of the renaissance texts or you have to know arabic in order to read some of the early medieval texts or you have to know ancient greek in order to read some of the hellenistic texts or you have to know cuneiform in order to read some of the ancient mesopotamian texts and if you don't have those special language skills like most astrologers
