About the author

Ebertin utilized the research on astrological midpoints of Hamburg School surveyor and astrologer Alfred Witte first published in 1928 in Witte's Regelwerk für Planetenbilder. Shortly after Witte's death in 1941, Ebertin used Witte's extensive research on astrological midpoints, and a 4th-harmonic "90° dial" developed by the Hamburg School of Astrology as the foundations of his School of Cosmobiology[citation needed]. Ebertin continued to promote astrological research, including medical applications of astrology while non-compliant Hamburg School astrologers were interned by the Third Reich, their books and publications banned.

Reinhold Ebertin's main reference text on Cosmobiology entitled The Combination of Stellar Influences, sometimes referred to as the 'CSI' or the 'COSI', was inspired by Alfred Witte's Rulebook of Planetary Pictures . Ebertin's book was first published in 1940 and the most recent updates in the English translation were added in 1972. Ebertin's greatest and most truly original contribution was his research in the field of medical astrology and his addition of more psychological correlations. Ebertin worked with the "Anatomical Correspondences of the Zodiac Degrees" as presented in the "Organuhr der anatomischen Entsprechungen" of Fritz Brandau.

Due to Ebertin's work, he is sometimes considered the founder of modern Cosmobiology as the term is generally used today (working largely with the midpoint/dial paradigms of Witte), although the term 'Kosmobiologie' had been previously used by Dr Friedrich Feerhow and Swiss statistician Karl Krafft in a more general sense "to designate that branch of astrology working on scientific foundations and keyed to the natural sciences".

Ebertin's mother, Elsbeth Ebertin, was also an astrologer. She is most notable for predicting the rise of Adolf Hitler.

Reviews

[Yitzchok · Rating 1 out of 5]

Very thin booklet of 29 pages and not much substance. Mostly about mid points in the 90 degree cosmogram of Ebertin's. He lists numerous people who had Pluto at mid-points between other planets and how they struggled. Very old-fashioned approach to life and astrology.

I liked this description of Pluto/Mercury:
"Pluto angular with Mercury will increase the intellectual and persuasive powers to such a degree that this particular person will nearly always have powers of persuasion and be successful in influencing others. Such people rule by their eloquence. The Mercury-Pluto husband can be happy in marriage if he is professionally active as a speaker or advertising agent."

His description of Pluto/Venus made me laugh out loud:
"...he was endowed with a certain charming manner which attracted to him the friendship of elderly ladies. This example clearly shows that Venus and Pluto do not necessarily lead to debauched and licentious ways. They can also endow with charm and personality."
