1937--1954 Monthly, bimonthly New York, NY and Chicago, IL; Springfield, MA; New York, NY. Language: English.
Publisher: Bruns Publications, Inc.; Fox Publications, Inc; World Astrology, Inc.. Editor: Frank Y. Halls; V.S. Fox; "Rose Dawn"; Zariel; Zeus; B.C. Roberts; Elbert Benjamine; V.S. Fox; Katha Caldwell; Zariel; Zeus; B.C. Roberts; Elbert Benjamine, et al.
Succeeds: Rose Dawn's Modern Astrology (bought, December 1937)
1/1, March 1937-14/11, February-March 1954. 128 pp.

This was a rather typical prognosticative astrology magazine of the period, with monthly ephemeris, monthly predictions by astrological sign, tables of aspects, novelettes, etc. It is especially notable because it absorbed Rose Dawn's Modern Astrology in December 1937 and was for a time (May-September 1938) edited by her. On Rose Dawn, see the notes under Daily Meditation and Rose Dawn's Modern Astrology. It also published regular columns by Elbert Benjamine (under that name and as "C.C. Zain") and was edited by him at times, as well. There were regular advertisements in the journal during Benjamine's tenure for the lessons and meetings of the Church/Brotherhood of Light.

Claude-Generated Themes:   World Astrology Magazine is a popular astrology monthly whose columns run heavily to natal chart interpretation and mundane (political) prediction — the sampled text is thick with horoscopes, planetary conjunctions, and zodiacal house-work, and turns to forecasting the fortunes of the Roosevelt administration and European affairs on the eve of the Second World War. Around this astrological core sits a lighter apparatus of tarot, initiatory and occult vocabulary and a self-help 'success' register typical of newsstand astrology. It is squarely a predictive-astrology periodical rather than an occult-philosophical or spiritualist one.
