Howard Sasportas
British-American astrologer who, with Liz Greene, co-founded the Centre for Psychological Astrology in London (1983) — the institutional home of psychological astrology as a Jungian-inflected clinical tradition. Sasportas studied psychosynthesis with Roberto Assagioli and astrology with Isabel Hickey, and brought both traditions into the Jungian register that Greene supplied from the analytical-psychology side.
His single-authored The Twelve Houses (1985) remains the definitive English-language house-system primer. His co-authored seminar volumes with Greene — The Development of Personality (1987), The Luminaries (1992), and later volumes — are the charter texts of psychological astrology as a teachable clinical practice. Sasportas’s pedagogical register was distinct from Greene’s: where Greene tended to the Jungian-archetypal, Sasportas threaded psychosynthesis, humanistic psychology, and a practical counseling emphasis.
Sasportas died of AIDS in 1992 at age 44. The Centre for Psychological Astrology he co-founded continued, and subsequent generations of psychological astrologers in the English-speaking world largely trained there. Within the Jungian-archetypal lineage the Seba KG traces, Sasportas stands as the second pillar (with Greene) of post-Jungian astrological psychology — the operational complement to the theoretical work Tarnas would later formalize.
