Alan Leo (1860 - 1930)

Alan Leo, born William Frederick Allan, was a pivotal figure in modern astrology. He is credited with shifting its focus from simple fortune-telling and event prediction to a more character-centered, psychological, and karmic framework. By incorporating Theosophical principles, he defined astrology as a tool for understanding reincarnation and spiritual evolution. His work, including "The Art of Synthesis," created a new structure for natal chart interpretation, influencing nearly every astrologer who followed, including contemporaries like Dane Rudhyar.

Isabel Hickey (1903 - 1980)

Isabel Hickey was a beloved American astrologer and healer known as "Boston’s Spiritual Sparkplug." She was a pioneer in what is now called "soul-centered" astrology, blending astrological technique with a profound, compassionate, and non-deterministic spirituality. She taught that the chart shows *potential*, not fate, and that "it is ALL right."

Her classic text, *Astrology: A Cosmic Science*, remains a cornerstone for students, valued for its ability to synthesize complex esoteric ideas into accessible, healing wisdom. She taught that the goal of astrology was not to fear destiny, but to consciously evolve the soul.
