History of the Astrological Society of North Texas

The Astrological Society of North Texas (ASNT) is the longest-lasting astrological group in all of North Texas. It was founded by C.R. and Sue Apitz June 22, 1972 at 8:00 pm in Fort Worth as the Astrological Society of Fort Worth (ASFW). Realizing that the group was drawing members from many other areas as well, the name was changed to ASNT November 15, 2002, 12:43 pm in North Richland Hills.

Originally the Apitzes conceived the group to be an organization for people who were practicicing astrologers or those who had an interest in astrology so they could socialize with like-minded people and learn from each other. ASNT has retained these goals. In the mid 70's membership quickly grew to nearly 90.

ASNT/ASFW has sponsored many national speakers including Dr. Zipporah Dobyns, Martha Lange-Wescott, Maritha Pottenger, Alphie LaVoie, and Robert Blaschke. For the past several years ASNT has sponsored a nationally noted astrologer for a two-day workshop, to coincide with National Astrology Day.

There have been two national conventions in the North Texas area, the American Federation of Astrologers (AFA) in 1972 and the National Council of Geocosmic Research (NCGR) in 1992.

The public is invited to attend.
