Biography

Russian spiritualist and mystic, the founder of the Theosophical Society. Her personal history changed frequently with a number of fanciful and glamorous versions but she was certainly a keen reader and writer and an accomplished pianist. The daughter of minor Russo-German aristocrats, she married Nikifor Blavatsky, vice-Governor of Yerevan in the Caucasus on 7/07/1848 when she was 17 and he, over 40, and fled from him a few weeks later. From then on her adventures – and her stories – changed often. She spent many years traveling the world in a mystical search for answers, eventually meeting two ascended Masters, Morya and Koot Hoomi.

Heavy-set and morbidly obese by the end of her life, Mme HPB, as she was known, had magnetic eyes and crinkly hair. She smoked incessantly and talked incessantly in a guttural voice, often witty and vulgar. She cared not a hoot for convention and was humorous, impulsive and warm-hearted.

After reaching the U.S. in 1873, she met Colonel Henry Steel Olcott in 1875; together in New York City, they founded the doctrine of Theosophy. She wrote the huge volumes of "Isis Unveiled" in 1877 and "The Secret Doctrine" in 1888. In February 1879, they moved to Bombay to set up chapters of the Society in India.

Mme died on 5/08/1891, London.

Source Notes

Wemyss FN No.018, "Sepharial says that HPB herself informed him that it was between midnight of July 31 OS and sunrise of the next day." Same time in Sabian Symbols No.103.

H. Whyte, "H.P. Blavatsky," gives, "the night of July 30/31."

Davison rectifies to 2:33 AM in AQ, Summer/1956.

Leo stated, "Madame B. gave her time of birth to an astrologer in New York on her last visit there. According to her own account, August 12, 40 minutes before sunrise." (4:38 AM LMT)

Modern Astrp;pgu, 12/1899, gives 1:42 AM LMT. Cranston, "The Extraordinary Life and Influence of HPB" gives 00:10 AM LMT, p.8

Rudhyar preferred a time that gave her Sirius rising: "probably around 2 AM, bringing the 13th or 14th degree of Cancer and the great star Sirius to the

Eastern horizon of her birth-chart..." [Occult Preparations for a New Age, 1976, p 29.]

(LMR would give a time of shortly after midnight to put Gemini on the ASC (she talked incessantly) and the MC in Aquarius conjunct Jupiter, trine ASC.)
