Astrological Society
Astrological Society
An early astrological organization that grew out of the magazine Modern Astrology, published in the late nineteenth century in London. The society was organized in 1895 by Walter Gorn Old. Alan Leo, a fellow Theosophist, became the first president. The society lasted for approximately eight years but ran into criticism because it was almost exclusively confined to London. In 1903 it was disbanded and the new Society for Astrological Research, with a wider national focus, was organized in its stead.
