About the Award
Charles Harvey, D.F.Astrol.S., was one of the most important astrologers of the 20th century.
He was passionate about astrological research. In his obituary, published 3rd March 2000, The Times (London) stated that his name ‘became synonymous with the attempt to restore astrology’s credibility and to rescue it from its associations with fairground fortune-telling.’ Charles Harvey served on the Council of the Faculty of Astrological Studies for several years in the 1960s.
The Faculty is keen to support original research into astrology and has thereby established the Charles Harvey Research Fund. Grants are available to Subscribing Diploma Holders to contribute to the cost of PhD research on the subject of astrology.

He was the Faculty’s Vice-President from 1977 to 1986, the Chairman of the Urania Trust and the Astrological Association’s long-standing President and later Patron. His published works include Mundane Astrology (with Michael Baigent and Nick Campion); Working With Astrology (with Mike Harding) and Sun Sign Moon Sign (with his wife Suzi). He was also a major contributor to Recent Advances in Natal Astrology; The Larousse Encyclopaedia of Astrology and The Future of Astrology.

A man of high profile and standing within the astrological community, he made an enormous contribution to raising the standards of astrology, until his death in 2000.
