OCT 7, 2002 (Astroletter Nr.28) -- C.U.R.A. (Centre Universitaire de Recherche
en Astrologie) continues to be a quality astrological publication. Patrice
Guinard has initiated an astrology which is foundational in and of itself. Historical
impulses form the basis for a radical direction in astrology. This absolutely well-deserved
award has been granted for the second time. [English translation]

 MAR 1, 2001
-- Centre Universitaire de Recherche en Astrologie.
Très bien présenté,
de nombreux sujets y sont traités comme l'épistémologie
et la philosophie de l'astrologie, l'histoire de l'astrologie, la psychologie
et l'astrologie, la vérité sur les horoscopes, l'étude
des opérateurs et des structures astrologiques, la recherche en
astrologie, les techniques et les pratiques, etc. Vous trouverez aussi
un top 20 des sites astrologiques avec un commentaire pour chacun. Un site
"pointu" sur l'astrologie. Très bien.
(magazine vendu en kiosque. N°6. Mars/Avril 2001. p.9)
JAN 3, 2001 -- This trilingual site (French, English, and Spanish) is edited by Patrice Guinard,
who was awarded a doctorate from the Sorbonne in 1993. His doctoral thesis,
"L'Astrologie : Fondements, Logique et Perspectives," is in the process of being revised
and posted on the site. C.U.R.A. is a noncommercial site whose aim is "to monitor
astrology by taking care that this multimillenary knowledge not be ruined by
media hype, does not degenerate into the horoscope trade, and does not become
obliterated by partisan research."
Articles are compiled into three main sections: The History of Astrology;
Epistemology (and Philosophy) of Astrology; and Techniques and Applications.
This collection of papers comes from a variety of sources; many of the articles are
newly edited or translated from academic research papers. The contributors to the
site thus far include Cyril Fagan, Robert Schmidt, Robin Heath, Maurice McCann,
Geoffrey Cornelius, Shelley Jordan, Glenn Perry, Brad Kochunas, Christopher
Weidner, Peter Niehenke, André Barbault, and David McMinn. The works of
other writers, which have not yet been translated into English, are available in
Spanish and French.
C.U.R.A.'s elegant graphic design is helpful, because many of the papers are quite
long. This site also features some well-chosen links (e.g., calendar sites on the
Internet) and the Top 20 Astrology Sites (including TMA's Web site).
C.U.R.A. is updated bimonthly; researchers and astrologers interested in
contributing to this endeavor are invited to contact Dr. Guinard. The site is also
seeking volunteers to transcribe and translate Latin and German into French and
English. C.U.R.A. is a superb source for serious astrology on the Web.
JUL 3, 2000 (Astroletter Nr.3) -- Der Centre Universitaire de Recherche en Astrologie ist eine bimenstrielle
Zeitschrift. Das Manifest ähnelt dem klassischem Kommunistischen Manifest in
seiner Radikalität. Es wird konsequente Astrologie betrieben, das heißt es
wird viel geforscht! Besonders lesenswert sind die philosophischen
Grundideen. Bravo Patrice Guinard!
MAR 6, 2000 -- C.U.R.A. is a most ambitious
bilingual (French and English) website, an essential online destination
for anyone interested in radical astrology. C.U.R.A. is an acronym for
Centre Universitaire de Recherche en Astrologie, i.e. University Center
for Astrological Research. Indeed, webmaster Patrice Guinard seeks to engage
interested university research departments in a dialogue on astrology.
Inasmuch as he was awarded his PhD from the Sorbonne for a dissertation
on astrology, perhaps Guinard will find accomplices in the Academy. For
the time being, C.U.R.A. consists
of some thoughtful articles on historical and theoretical dimensions of
astrology: good stuff, no fluff.
