History
The term "evolutionary astrology" was first used by Raymond Merriman in his book titled Evolutionary Astrology: The Journey of the Soul Through the Horoscope, published in 1977 by Seek-It Publications of West Bloomfield, Michigan. In 1991, a second edition of this book was published, titled Evolutionary Astrology: The Journey of the Soul Through States of Consciousness, also published by Seek-It Publications.
The term later became more popularized with the work of Jeffrey Green who began public lecturing on The Evolutionary Journey of The Soul in 1977. He wrote Pluto, Evolutionary Journey of the Soul,Volume 1" in 1985) and "Pluto, Volume 2, the Soul's Evolution through Relationships in 1997 and Uranus, Freedom from the Known in 1987. Green has lectured around the world and his books have been translated in many, many languages as his work spread everywhere. He established schools on evolutionary astrology in Holland, England, Israel, Chile, Canada, and Germany. In addition he started his own video/dvd course on evolutionary astrology in 1994. His daughter, Deva, has written her own book on evolutionary astrology. In the summer of 2011 a new book that she has edited on her father's work will come out that is called The Evolutionary Journey Of The Soul: Essays in Evolutionary Astrology. Green's first book has remained in continuous print since 1985. Jeffrey Green also collaborated on two books with Steven Forrest, Measuring the Night, Volumes One and Two (2000, 2001). Steven Forrest, and then Maurice Fernandez (an initial student of Jeffrey Green) have developed their own schools of thought and teach their own methodologies within Evolutionary Astrology. Jeffrey's students have also written their own books in Evolutionary Astrology. Patricia Walsh: Understanding Karmic Complexes: Evolutionary Astrology And Regression Therapy, Rose Marcus: Insights Into Evolutionary Astrology in which various students have all written different chapters on various topics in EA, Deva Green: Evolutionary Astrology: Pluto and Your Karmic Mission, and Mark Jones: Healing the Soul- Pluto, Uranus and the Lunar Nodes.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Boys forget what their country means by just reading “the land of the free” in history books. Then they get to be men, they forget even more. Liberty’s too precious a thing to be buried in books.”
—Sidney Buchman (1902–1975)
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
“Classes struggle, some classes triumph, others are eliminated. Such is history; such is the history of civilization for thousands of years.”
—Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
