Dane Rudhyar
Rudhyar's birth chart

The French-American Daniel Chenneviere was born on 23rd of March 1895 at 0:40 in Paris, and died on 13th of September 1985 in San Francisco, CA.[1]

He came to prominence as one of the leading authors in Spiritual Astrology, as one of the most important astrologers of the 20th century under the pseudonym of Dane Rudhyar[2].

Biography

At the start of the First World War he left his home city of Paris and moved to New York where he immersed himself in Buddhism and other Eastern religions and wisdom teachings. During that time he was also influenced by psychology and Theosophy.

Rudhyar managed an impressive synthesis of astrology, philosophy, psychology and art. He was a painter, composer, lyricist and, during times of financial hardship, an author of science fiction novels. He had to struggle for a long time before he gained recognition for his astrological work, which first really came in the 1960s.

Astrology

He had a decisive influence on psychological astrology and emphasized the importance of individual personal and spiritual growth. His ideas were also noticeably influenced by Eastern philosophies, which view the individual within a greater transpersonal backdrop. He often described his own work as humanistic astrology. Rudhyar published hundreds of astrology articles and several books. He revised some of his earlier articles and books for republication later in life. The Astrology of Personality is considered to be his most important work.
