Astrological organizations

The Vancouver Society of Astrologers has a brand new website with events, membership information, etc. Find Astrology Galore with two organizations in one area! For your convenience the program and contact information is listed on our site as well. The Guild and VSA both offer reciprocal associate memberships to the members of each group. Join both and get twice the astrology!

Fair dinkum - can't leave out the Aussies - the Australian Federation of Astrologers

Edmonton Astrological Society has a jazzy website maintained by Inge Lohse - do check it out. We have had a newsletter exchange for years, and we will have one via e-mail soon. If you as our member would like to see a copy send e-mail to Inge or the Guild. The EAS has been around since 1977 - that's a quarter of a century. So I guess the Guild could call them a big sister/brother organization as we haven't quite reached our teens yet. In 2004 we will be thirteen...

The Irish Astrological Association has a website hosted by Maurice McCann. The site has lessons in horary astrology.

All payments must be in U.S. funds, by check or money order drawn on banks with U.S.affiliates. ISAR also accepts Master Card, Visa or American Express credit cards.

The Finnish Astrological Association website has one English Language page, but as I recently joined I want to include the address. They have in excess of 600 members and were founded 1964. One requirement in Finland is the ability to read astrology either in English or in German. And we think getting there can be tough.
