Thanks, astrocorreia, for a very interesting topic and to everyone else who shared.

I don't know enough about predictive astrology yet to make any comment other than my first instinct was to check the progressed chart which looks very interesting.

Thanks again.

Further to the preceding discussion about the origins of the term "Kosmobiologie" in 20th century astrology:

I can confirm that Friedrich Wehofer (under his pen-name Friedr. Feerhow) introduced the term "Kosmobiologie". The earliest reference I have found so far in a quick search is in the December 1913 instalment (IV. Jahrgang Heft 3) of the Astrologische Rundschau.

p. 35:

Die naturwissenschaftliche Astrologie, welche andre Methoden einschl?gt als die Horosokopie (Horoskopstatistik), k?nnte man zweckm??ig ?Kosmobiologie? oder ?Makrobiologie? benennen. Die gew?hnliche Biologie befa?t sich im wesentlichen mit der Physiologie eines Einzel-Lebewesens oder einer beschr?nkten Gemeinschaft von solchen. Unser ?Kosmobiologie? behandelt weit gr??ere Einheiten, z. B. den Einflu? der gesammten ?Planeten? (Sonne eingerechnet) unseres Systems auf die Erde als Ganzes, auf ihre Kontinente oder L?nder, oder sie betrachtet die Abh?ngigkeit der Erde zur Sonne usw. und auf diesem indirekten Wege erst das Bindeglied des Menschen an das Universum.

He also casually mentions it (without defining it) on p. 16 of the 1914 first edition of his book "Medizinische Astrologie", but the Rundschau article predates this.

I have not yet checked the earliest years of the Rundschau, but certainly Wehofer had defined Kosmobiologie in print by December 1913.

In France, there existed from July 1930 right up until the outbreak of World War II and somewhat beyond a Soci?t? Astrologique de France pour le d?veloppement de l'Astrologie Scientifique (Cosmobiologie). The "Cosmobiologie" part was added to its name at that stage - the previous bulletin of April 1930 lacked it.

A serious quarterly scientific research journal called Revue de Cosmobiologie was launched in 1934 in France by Dr. M. Faure.

In short, the term was well-established in France in the 1930s.

Krafft, writing in German, had earlier penned a bibliography called Kosmobiologische Bibliographie: ?berblick ?ber Erfahrungs-Wissenschaftliche, Kulturgeschichtliche und Andre Beitr?ge zur Frage der Beziehungen Zwischen Ausserirdischen Vorg?ngen und Irdischem Geschehn that was published in the Jahrbuch f?r Kosmo-Biologische Forschung, an important German publication that ran for just two years in 1928 and 1929 and was edited by Heinz Artur Strauss, a leading German astrological author of the 1920s who remained active in the 1950s.

Reinhold Ebertin was not nearly the first to adopt the term, in other words.

It was introduced to the title of the monthly magazine he edited "Mensch im All" some time between Mai 1939 (the last issue I have without it) and Dezember 1940 (the first I have with it).

The first issue of the Kosmobiologisches Jahrbuch (an Ebertin annual that replaced Elsbeth Ebertin's earlier "Ein Blick in die Zukunft") was for 1939. It was suspended by the war but resumed publication for 1950 and then was continuous from 1954 to 1978.
