BUENOS AIRES ASTROLOGICAL CENTER FOUNDATION
Our Goals
The Buenos Aires Astrological Center Foundation (Fundación Centro Astrológico de Buenos Aires) is a non profit association dedicated to the development of Astrology in Argentina. Its main activities include the teaching of Astrology through regular qualifying courses, workshops & specialization seminars, lecture and debate cycles, publications, information and computer services for astrologers and a public library.
Our History and Profile
The Buenos Aires Astrological Center was created by a group of argentine astrologers on April 19th 1961 at 9:25 PM (BZT). It immediately became the main reference and meeting place for those interested in Astrology in Argentina. It was closely related to the discovery of the Topocentric House System, created by Vendel Polich and Anthony Nelson Page, and through its editorial work it has been its main diffuser in the Spanish speaking countries. It became a non profit foundation on December 18th 1991 at 7:36 PM (BZT), after Ricardo Eloy Dumon´s death, its director during twenty five years. Besides being the country´s oldest astrological association, it has also achieved international scope and total uninterrupted continuity. It has been distinguished since its creation by its eclecticism and its determination of including the best from the different traditional and modern astrological currents. It has therefore been not only pioneer here by establishing a body dedicated to Astrology, but also importing and creating fundamental astrological practices now at use everyday and widespreadly. Since the first moment it has centered its activity in training of astrologers with an ample and serious basis, enriched through the years through research, constant development of its teachers and its curriculum.
