Alan Leo

Who was Alan Leo?

Alan Leo, born William Frederick Allan, was a prominent British astrologer, author, publisher and theosophist. He is often referred to as "the father of modern astrology".

His work stimulated a revival of astrology in the Western world after its decline at the end of the 17th century. Leo was a devout theosophist and he worked many of its religious concepts such as karma and reincarnation into his astrology. He used the Theosophical Society’s vast international connections to publish, translate and disseminate his work across Europe and America.
