The American Federation of Astrologers (AFA) was incorporated on May 4, 1938,[1] in Washington, D.C. Now headquartered in Tempe, Arizona, AFA was established to encourage and promote the practice and belief of astrology through research, teaching, lecturing and practice.
The AFA has been active on several different levels since its inception, including the hosting of a periodic astrological conferences.
AFA also publishes a monthly journal, Today's Astrologer, which is distributed to the general membership.
This large, substantial publication began in 1939 and was issued annually until 1942, then more sporadically in later years, appearing again in 1944, 1946, 1947, 1948, 1950, 1952 and 1954.
Especially from the 1970s to the present day, it has been one of the leading publishers of astrological literature in the world, and has also reprinted many otherwise out-of-print and often very scarce works from the early 20th century in high-quality new editions, as well as translations of Morin's Astrologica Gallica, first published in the 17th century.
