At big International Astrology Conference held out in Chicago, in August 2005, organized by ISAR, among 70 lecturer partcipiants, great astrologer's name of Robert Hand, was in focus of the interest. One of most significant american astrologer of 20th century, first astro lessons got from his father Wilfred. At the age of 18, Robert was well known as a translator of old texts, then he graduated History; programming is his passion. Now, he had a little more than six decades, but he himself couldn't pack own biography on several pages. Just to mention: two Regulus awards, functions in all great astro associations and instituions, 5-6 important books, foundation of "Arhat" project, companies for astro software, for publishing, etc; Mister Hand uses tropical, sideral and helio system, and combines new technics with old methods, especially with Greeks. Robert is currently working on his Ph.D. in Medieval History at the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC, where he also has an active astrological consulting practice. www.robhand.com

Astrology today - Mother Earth tomorrow


What is going on with Astrology in 21st Century?

It's becoming more professional, several universities are offering programs in astrology (especially in Great Britain), so, it is less a hobby, more of a profession.

People see astrology as a help, an advice?

Yes, especially for self-realization. It is also a great field for answering variety of different questions. It is becoming a field for developing certain skills.

Is astrology present today more than before?

It is hard to say. Some of aspects are dying, some are developing. Interest in astrology is certainly much bigger than before, however, astrology is shifting its location from news papers, through TV to Internet.

Is media informed enough about astrology, and are media abusing the basic info of the same?

Astrologers have limited power over media. What makes them more profitable, they will take for them. Astrologers should be more responsible in educating media about astrology.

What about the new Planet?

Don't really know. It is too far from the Sun to be thoroughly observed. It is not made of material that planet should be. It is so called Hyper Belt, and it does orbit rather too eccentrically above or below the zodiac. 'Sedna' is much smaller, and maybe that is the reason why there is still not influencing the universe; However, we should soon all adjust to the new circumstances, especially astrologers...

Does Uranus in Pisces announces huge catastrophic outrages?

Certainly, Uranus comes to Pisces every 84. years; If we'd try to explore the history, we'd see a bunch of patterns in that direction. Uranus in Pisces also indicates the radicalization in certain religious groups.

What do you think about Earth shifting in the Universe after such a terrible natural disaster as a Tsunami of last year?

That phenomena is called Delta T. Yes, Earth does move from its positions in Universe after strong earthquakes, and similar.

What about Lunar Eclipses, do they influence the weather changes?

I am not sure, maybe; Everybody is talking about the global warming, however, the scientists can not come to the conclusion if that is the normal development, or something that a Man causes by him self. We should certainly be more careful and responsible toward our Mother Earth, however, if one looks into star constellation, the Saturn is in Leo, and that should certainly cool the air (in this case fire).
