Welcome to ISAR

ISAR is dedicated to encouraging the highest standards of quality in astrology. We do that in several ways: by offering a certification program that emphasizes ethics awareness, competence in techniques and interpretation, and empathic consulting skills; by promoting data accuracy and the reporting of original sources; by networking with other organizations to provide the best astrological educational services available anywhere; by sponsoring research to help build the body of proven scientific evidence relevant to astrology; by issuing a professionally written Journal and a weekly e-newsletter.

ISAR provides members with several benefits.  Its journal, The International Astrologer, mailed three times per year, provides thought-provoking and educational articles with a variety of astrological perspectives.  The weekly e-newsletter allows each member to share ideas, ask for help, or provide perspective.  Membership includes reduced admission fees to conferences, a free biennial membership directory, and a free annual astrological pocket calendar.  Perhaps most important of all is the sense of community that members share as we work together on our common goal of promoting professionalism in astrology.
