American Astrological Society
Among the earliest attempts to form a national association of astrologers and astrological organizations, the American Astrological Society was founded on September 22, 1915, with the goal of championing the cause of astrology among the public in North America. It had a five-member board. For many years Gustave W. Ekstrome of Minnepolis, Minnesota, was its corresponding secretary. Members came from across the United States and Canada. The society survived into the 1950s.
