Dane Rudhyar and Humanistic Astrology |
![]() |
Dane Rudhyar (1895 - 1985) created a sensation with another generation of astrologers in the late 1970's. They were my immediate predecessors. They published the last of his books - which are all we have now. Rudhyar died the year before I got seriously involved in astrology.
Dane Rudhyar matured in the hell of the First World War, which marked him & his entire generation. One need only read Barbara Tuchman's Guns of August, or any of the novels by Erich-Maria Remarque (All Quiet on the Western Front, The Road Back etc.) to realize how deeply scarred these men were. |
Rudhyar was a friend of Alice Bailey, who was herself the heir to H.P. Blavatsky & the Theosophists. It is difficult to fully understand Rudhyar's writings without some Theosphical knowledge. Since we've read a lot of Bailey's books, we can attest to their great difficulty (among contemporary astrologers, Alan Oken is almost alone in his efforts to seriously comprehend Bailey's material). Since Rudhyar's passing, his ideas have been copied by a number of lesser writers with generally unsatisfying results. As time passes and his imitators fade, Rudhyar continues to grow in stature & influence.
