Ciro Discepolo | English corner

Ciro Discepolo, astrologer, journalist and writer, was born in Naples in 1948. He worked for twenty years as external editor of the Neapolitan newspaper Il Mattino, publishing articles on medicine, science, information technology, literature and astrology and always refusing to write horoscopes. At the age of 20 he worked as a research assistant for five years at the National Research Council and for two years he was responsible for the Electronic Measurements Laboratory at the Istituto Motori in Naples. He has been studying astrology since 1970. He has published over 150 books in eight languages — most of which have also been very successful abroad — and has produced over 1,000 astrology lessons on YouTube (viewed over 1 million of times) and over 300 short essays on astrology, almost all of which can be found on Google Books. His books have been published by some of the most important astrological publishing houses in the world, such as the American Federation of Astrologers, the Éditions Traditionnelles of Paris, the Russian School of Classical Astrology of Moscow, the Armenia Editore of Milan, the Edizioni Mediterranee of Rome and many others. Books like “Transits and Solar Returns” or “The New Treatise on Astrology” have been bestsellers in multiple countries.

He founded Active Astrology, followed by thousands of students all over the world.

In the 1980s he developed algorithms that allowed him to publish, before any other colleague in the world, many volumes of ancient and modern ephemeris, studies of spherical trigonometry on the Primary Directions, studies on Placidus domification at extreme latitudes, highly advanced astrological software, such as MyAstral.org, which allow the automatic search of the best aimed birthdays in the world, for each year of a subject.

He was the author of what could be called a new “north-west passage”, combining astrology and analytical psychology in an unprecedented, unique path now followed by many colleagues: the exorcization of the symbol.

Only two of his astrological laws have been accepted by Official Science and they are, to all intents and purposes, the only two astrological paradigms accepted by Science. On this very important chapter of his bio-bibliography, it is possible to read (in Italian, English and French, within the same and following volume), downloadable for free and entitled “The 20 Days Before and After the Birthday”:

In 1990 he founded the periodical Ricerca ‘90, of which he is director. He has been engaged in statistical research since the beginning of his interests in astrology. In the early nineties he obtained very interesting results through his research on astral heredity, sampling over 75,000 subjects. His approach, calculations and research results have always been verified by various statisticians and also by university professors. Astrologically speaking, he trained in the school of André Barbault. His interests include literature, cinema, photography, good food and the Sorrento Peninsula. Since 2016 he lives in Milan.
