Biography
Zane was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. on 17 June 1951 and first began studying astrology in 1969. When Chiron was discovered in 1977, Zane contacted Dr Brian Marsden, then-head of the Minor Planet Center at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory who provided him with an ephemeris of this new body. Armed with this information, he formed The Association for Studying Chiron which published and distributed Chiron information and research worldwide.
He wrote the first article about Chiron, "Chiron: What Does It Mean To You?", which appeared in the January 1981 issue of Dell Horoscope magagazine, which was reprinted in their October 1984 issue as a "Notable Reprint".
Dialoguing with Neil F. Michelsen of Astro Computing Services, Zane was instrumental in their decision to include Chiron's position in the American Ephemeris.
In 1983, he published first Chiron reference, "Interpreting Chiron", which he included two years later in his book, Essence and Application: A View From Chiron.
Zane moderates the Yahoo Group., Centaurs, where Chiron, Pholus, Nessus and other Centaurean bodies are discussed.
He is currently seeking to unravel the meanings of the other Centaurean bodies and Trans-Neptunians, especially Eris.
Zane has lectured throughout the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, and Australia. He is a member of ISAR, AFAN, and the Metropolitan Atlanta Astrological Society, and currently resides in Hamilton Hill, Western Australia, Australia.
He is married to astrologer Lynette Malone and they are planning on opening an astrology school together.

Famous quotes containing the word biography:
“Had Dr. Johnson written his own life, in conformity with the opinion which he has given, that every man’s life may be best written by himself; had he employed in the preservation of his own history, that clearness of narration and elegance of language in which he has embalmed so many eminent persons, the world would probably have had the most perfect example of biography that was ever exhibited.”
—James Boswell (1740–95)
“There never was a good biography of a good novelist. There couldn’t be. He is too many people, if he’s any good.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“In how few words, for instance, the Greeks would have told the story of Abelard and Heloise, making but a sentence of our classical dictionary.... We moderns, on the other hand, collect only the raw materials of biography and history, “memoirs to serve for a history,” which is but materials to serve for a mythology.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
