Astrological Association of Great Britain

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Astrological Association is a British astrological organisation. The Astrological Association of Great Britain (AA) was formed in London on 21 June 1958.[1] Its founding members, notably John Addey and Roy Firebrace, were members of the Astrological Lodge of the Thesosophical Society.[2] John Addey later become President of the AA.[3] The AA produces three publications - the Astrological Journal, published six times a year, Correlation, published biannually, and the Medical Astrology Newsletter. In 2002 the AA said their membership was "something over a thousand".[3]

In 2013 the organisation was awarded charity status and the name was legally changed to 'The Astrological Association'.[4]
