Astrology just out of luck so that's one thing is that even when certain texts were available astrologers couldn't read them but also prior to the 20th century a lot of these texts weren't readily available they were just lying around in europe in manuscripts handwritten manuscripts waiting to be translated and waiting to be collected and put together so two things happen one thing that happened is that there was a group of scholars in europe that got together and decided
Astrology to collect all of the ancient greek astrological texts that survived in the early 20th century and they decided to create a catalog for them and start putting them together and publishing them in modern printed book form for academic purposes just because they wanted to study them within the context of ancient cultures and because they thought not that these texts were important in terms of they didn't believe in astrology or think that the astrological content was valuable
Astrology but instead they just thought that it would studying the history of astrology would tell you something about ancient cultures and would help you get an additional vantage point that was valuable from that perspective because typically when astrologers do delineations for clients they're also describing something about their world view and something about how their culture is perceived at the time so basically
Online Nadi Astrology there was this rise in this movement in academia to study ancient astrology as part of the history of science and as part of the history of of western culture and that was an important development in academia but it was happening sort of independent of the astrological community and astrologers for the most part were not paying attention to what the academics were doing but then eventually
Online Nadi Astology in 1980s and 1990s astrologers started to get interested in going back and studying the history of ancient astrology and studying the older astrological tradition from prior to the 20th century so one example of this was robert zoller who wrote a book on the arabic parts in 1981 which was based on largely on his study of the text of the 13th century astrologer guido benadi who zoller had read
Astrology because he learned latin in college so zoller got the text a printed version of the text and then he was able to read parts of benadi by translating it for himself and then starting to to practice some of the techniques that he learned from that 16th century late medieval text but for the most part zoller was kind of on his own in being one of the lone people in the us that was studying and trying to promote traditional astrology at that time over in the uk

Astrology in the late mid to late 1980s and this led to a sudden flourishing of interest in practicing older methods of astrology especially horrory based on lily and some of his contemporaries that developed a lot of steam and got a lot of energy starting in the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s at the same time the historian and astrologer james holden published a paper on holstein houses in 1982 where he pointed out the the title of this paper
Astrology can find it online on my website it's called ancient house division by james holden he was the first astrologer and historian to point out the use of holstein houses in the early western astrological tradition in 1982 and he also translated and started publishing astrological works like the book of abu ali al-qayat which holden published a translation of in 1988 through the american federation of astrologers so holden he had studied classics in college
Astrologer actually did his master's thesis on william lilly in his work and then holden had been translating texts from greek and latin for himself privately from the 1950s forward but he'd never published them and he had a whole separate career as like an electrician or something for several decades before he retired from that in the 1980s and he became the research director of the american federation of astrologers
