The Astrological Association of Great Britain (AA) was formed in London on 21 June 1958.[1] Its founding members, notably John Addey and Roy Firebrace, were members of the Astrological Lodge of the Thesosophical Society.[2] John Addey later become President of the AA.[3] The AA produces three publications - the Astrological Journal, published six times a year, Correlation, published biannually, and the Medical Astrology Newsletter.
