Robert Currey (born 24 September 1955)[3] is a British astrologer and entrepreneur.

Career[edit]

In 1981 Curry founded the astrological company Equinox and in 1989 The Astrology Shop in Covent Garden, the first prime location store to be dedicated to astrology, which became a well-known London haunt for astrology enthusiasts.[4] This gained an international reputation due to Currey's pioneering development of computerised astrological reports,[5] and developed a global reach through subsequent outlets in the US and Australia.[6] As an astrologer Currey specialises in astrocartography - a form of locational astrology in which he was certified by the technique's promoter, Jim Lewis.[7]

In 2021, Currey became editor of Correlation, the Astrological Association of Great Britain's biannual Journal of Research into Astrology.[8]

Media[edit]

Currey has been consulted on and appeared in various televised documentaries which feature astrology. These include Strictly Supernatural for the Discovery Channel,[citation needed] The New Age for Channel 4,[9] and Solar Empire for Discovery TV.[citation needed]

In 2016, he was awarded a Lifetime Achievement award at the 26th International Conference organized by the Institute of Vedic Culture and Krishnamurti Institute of Astrology, Kolkata, India.[1] Currey won the Charles Harvey award for exceptional service to astrology from the Astrological Association of Great Britain in 2017.[2]
