The FAS was very sorry to hear the news that the great Sun Sign astrologer Jonathan Cainer had died at the age of 58. Jonathan was a former student with the FAS and remained a friend. As a Sun Sign astrologer he followed in the footsteps of Alan Leo (1860-1917), who popularised the art of Sun Sign astrology. Influenced by the theosophical principle of the Sun’s connection to the eternal spirit, Leo created the type of astrology that resulted in the newspaper columns of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries and can still be found in almost every newspaper and magazine today.
RIP Jonathan, you will be sadly missed.
