Robert Hand began his work in astrology at
the age of 17. The Hand family was locally known for its work in
astrology, science and history, and Rob learned the basics of casting
charts for these applications from his father, Wilfred Hand, who
successfully applied the astrological techniques of his day to
forecasting the stock market.
Rob is an honor graduate from Brandeis
University, with honors in history, and went on for graduate
work in the History of Science at Princeton. Rob began an astrology
practice in 1972 and as success came, he began traveling world
wide as a full time professional astrologer. Robert Hand was known in his early career as
the first practicing astrologer to write astrology programs for
microcomputers so that the benefits of computers would be available
to astrologers. From this effort, he founded Astro-Graphics Services
in 1979, which later became Astrolabe, Inc.
In his professional practice Rob uses tropical,
heliocentric, sidereal, uranian, cosmobiological and in mundo techniques
with ancient and mediaeval methods now being uncovered and translated.

company for continuing his lifelong work in the history and science
of astrology ... ARHAT.
