1975 Computerized horoscope interpretation begins to take hold throughout America. Para Research pioneers in the field with the use of powerful mainframe computers and the "Astral Portrait," the best computer horoscope in the world (claimed by some to still hold that position in the 1990s). The modernization of astrology begins. Astrology starts to transform under the general pressure from changes occurring in the field of psychology. Carl Jung's philosophy, gestalt, group and primal therapy, encounter sessions, retreats and workshops, all have an effect on astrology. Astrologers react by interpreting chart factors in terms of behavioral influences. The old-fashioned terms "evil" aspects, "malefic" planets, "unfavorable" factors begin to fade from astrological literature. More and more, astrologers refer to the new term "Humanistic Astrology" as invented by Dane Rudhyar. Aquarius Workshops is founded by Marion D. March and Joan McEvers, an astrology school centered in Los Angeles.

1980 In the 1980s, a new revolution begins to take place in astrology: computerized astrology. Many different companies turn out various kinds of computerized charts and interpretations, usually advertised in the Dell Horoscope and American Astrology magazines. Many of them also last only a few months to a few years. Raw computer language programs, such as BASIC, are also available for astrologers to write astrological programs to suit their personal needs. Even more of a boost to astrology is the large variety of delineation programs written for professional astrologers. The Age of the computer astrologer arrives. Robert Hand lays the foundation for yet a newer style of astrological writing: simpler coherent academic-like text which suits the new psychology-oriented form of astrology. The recession of the early 1980s forces many astrological enterprises to shut down. Much of the 1970's hippie-initiated occult businesses re-group under the movement of New Age. The emphasis turns away from cult-like lifestyles, magic, candles, charms, chalices, incense and bead necklaces to organic foods, health, vegetarianism, herbal remedies, crystal energies, bio-feedback, nutritional and practical astrology. The mantras, mandalas, and hermetic astro mumbo-jumbo begins to fade in the high-tech world. Astro-Data Vol II by Lois M.

1990 In the 1990s, the revolution of computer astrology continues to accelerate as almost all professional and serious astrologers take up computers to assist their work. Five computer astrology companies emerge as giants in the field: Astrolabe Software, Matrix Software, Time Cycles, Cosmic Patterns, Air Software For the first time, anyone can download a wide assortment of astrology programs on the internet. One of the first popular internet sites is Hilbert.Maths.Utas.edu.au. Soon after, astrologers are creating their own WEB (WWW) pages with graphics and actual delineation programs working in real time at any time of the day, for free or a price. Some of the most advertised high-quality (and high-priced) computer programs in the mid 1990s are:
At the lower end of the scale are:
Another major change in the astrological world is phone-astrology services, which number in the dozens, but which offer questionable delineations. Many cheat by using public databases containing personal information gathered from credit card purchases. Robert Hand serves as Chairman on the board of directors of the NCGR (National Council for Geocosmic Research) By the mid-1990s, hundreds of astrological organizations exist all over the world, and continue to expand in quantity and quality: Sun, Moon and Planet Signs by Lyn Birkbeck Astro-Data Vol IV by Lois M.
