Born September 29, 1958, 10:52p.m., in Corrientes, Argentina, under the sign of Libra with Gemini as rising sign. With Uranus in the 3rd house and Mars in Gemini, his vocation for writing astrological and metaphysical subjects manifested itself at a young age, beginning to publish articles at Kier Editorial in 1983.
Horacio was an astrologer from the age of 21 and dedicated himself to teaching and transmitting his knowledge about the subject. He has written an Egyptian Tarot Card Course and a Spanish Tarot Card Course. He published his first book in Argentina called "New Age Love".

Kathie says that "My house is like a hotel. There are always kids of all ages coming in and out. Our dining room table is the site of some incredible philosophical discussions, from the wisdom from the mouth of the babes to the ideas of the older kids who are coming into adulthood at a time of such awesome transformation. Much of [the Young Adult Forecast] came out of these discussions."

Astrologer Ry Redd calculated the astrology charts for hundreds of people who received readings by Edgar Cayce that contained astrologically based information. By studying these astrology charts, Ry Redd determined what planetary influences were most likely responsible for the readings by Edgar Cayce.
In many cases the astrological basis of the Cayce readings appeared to be straightforward. From this information Ry was able to develop, in conjunction with computer programmers, an analysis of your birth chart as Ry Redd believed that Edgar Cayce's psychic readings would have interpreted it. Until his death a few years ago, Ry Redd's research effort was exhaustive and conducted over many years, some of which was spent at the Edgar Cayce library at the Association for Research and Enlightenment headquarters in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
Explains Seltzer: "I was immediately fascinated by how accurately the planetary patterns reflect individual psychological reality. I believe astrology is a window from the material world into the spiritual. Because Astrology is based on concrete observable phenomena, and yet makes use of these data in an entirely different way, it forms a bridge between the scientific materialistic world view and that of the Artistic, the Esoteric, and the Spiritual.
I began to work within this remarkable field of study, and to share my insights with other people, and in 1985 created the computer program that eventually became the TimePassages software program, (the software that led to the development of the reports and charts delivered by Visionary Networks). My goal was to make generally available the information that Astrology really does work. By exploring their own and other's charts, or "horoscopes", I felt that anyone could gain self-knowledge and also the world-shaking information that Astrology does work as well as it does.
In these times of a loss of traditional values, as we as a society perch on the edge of the Aquarian age, it becomes vital that we create new models of the world of Spirit to take us forward, to sustain us in this challenging era.
In addition to the level of interpretation, where anyone can find information that is valuable to them, as described above, the program I wrote is also designed to be a tool for beginning the study of how the Astrological symbolism is put together, as an introduction the a more detailed study of the subject of Astrology itself."
Jill Dearman has been professionally practicing astrology for twelve years and currently writes horoscopes for the national magazines Twist and Girlfriends as well as numerous papers. She has written about subjects from astrology to literature to film and theater in Mademoiselle, Publishers Weekly and HX. She also writes and produces films.

studied astrology for over 20 years. A typical writer, she observes people
from her quiet nook, watching the planets expose themselves in folks' lives
with great merriment and horror, a delicious meal in itself, replete with
indigestion. She has worked at Astrolabe (makers of the famous Solar Fire
software) for 8 years, in technical support and also text program writing.
She has written a local astrological monthly column, and has written other
astrology articles, always compulsively laced with her impertinent humor.
Maxine Taylor, Atlantas most famous Astrologer, is the author of both the Cat and Dog Astrology reports.
Her long history of birth chart interpretations and forecasts dates back to the 1960s, when she spearheaded the movement to legalize Astrology in Atlanta, and in 1969, became Georgia's first licensed astrologer. Over the decades, her predictions have appeared on CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, national and international radio, and in publications across the country.
Writing the Cat and Dog reports came naturally to Maxine, as she has a knack for creating Astrology forecasts for many non-human beings, including large corporations, political elections and even countries. All she needs is a birth time!
Today, Maxine's keen astrological insight assists clients in making critical decisions when it comes to life, love, career, finances and ultimately happiness. She is also the author of many books, reports and pamphlets.
