About Dane Rudhyar

Dane Rudhyar, born Daniel Chennevière, was an American author, modernist composer, painter and humanistic astrologer. He was a pioneer of modern transpersonal astrology. At first he called his new interpretation "harmonic astrology" and as the ideas matured renamed it "humanistic astrology," the subject of his monumental volume, The Astrology of Personality, published in 1936. Bailey (the person who invented the term New Age), encouraged the development of his thought and published his book on her press, Lucis Publishing. Rudhyar became a naturalized citizen of the United States in 1926.
