Biography
British-American astrologer who specialized in financial astrology and published "Simplified Astronomy For Astrologers," "Astro-Economics," "Business Cycle Forecasting" and "Magnum Opus Financial Astrology," 1892. He lectured widely, served as the president of the Astrologers Guild and was a member of AFA from 1949.
As he had moved to America at the age of seven, Williams served in the U.S. military, first as a private in the Mexican Border Campaign of 1916, in the A.E.F. from 1907-1918, and as a Lt. Commander in the U.S. Navy in WW II. He was an electrical engineer with Consolidated Edison Co. in New York City. Early in his career he noticed a cyclic pattern in electrical breakdowns, which led him to study astrology.
