The American-English astrologer Howard Sasportas was born on

12th April 1948 at 1:46 in Hartford, Connecticut, USA.
He died on the 16th May 1992, 5:12 PM, in London, GB.
He was one of the leading astrological figures of the twentieth
century.

He initially received a MA in Humanistic Psychology at Antioch

University in New York. In 1973, he then moved to London and
began to study astrology at the Faculty of Astrological Studies. In
1979 he received the FAS's Gold Medal. In 1983, together with Liz
Greene, he founded the Centre for Psychological Astrology. It
became one of the most influential schools of its kind worldwide.
Apart from being greatly admired as a teacher, Sasportas was also a
Howard Sasportas
productive author whose writings (including The Twelve Houses and
The Gods of Change) were characterised by his clear and
insightful language. In his writings he often refered to the
ancient Greek myths. The ability of astrology to overcome
some of the wide-spread prejudices in the English-speaking
world in the 1980s and 1990s is due in part to his efforts.

In the last years of his life Sasportas battled ill-health caused

by a congenital deformity of the spine. His severe illness did
not affect his productivity, yet, and although wheelchair-
bound he attended many congresses and seminars until
shortly before his death. He died in the presence of his closest
friends, as astrologer Erin Sullivan described, "in peace and
full of courage and awareness". Sasportas' Radix chart.
He was homosexual and died of AIDS.
