Broughton, Luke Dennis (1828–1898) Luke Dennis Broughton, the leading astrologer in the United States during the last decades of the nineteenth century, was born April 20, 1828, in Leeds, England, and grew up in an astrologically-oriented family. His grandfather had become a devotee of the stars after reading the Complete Herbal, a medical astrology text by Nicolas Culpepper and one of the few astrological texts to have survived the combined attack of Protestantism and the Enlightenment in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The elder Broughton inspired interest in astrology in his physician son and through him to Luke Broughton and his brothers. Luke Broughton’s older brother Mark became the leader of an astrological society in England and then moved to the United States to begin Broughton’s Monthly Horoscope in 1849.
Broughton, Luke Dennis (1828–1898) el principal astr贸logo de los Estados Unidos durante las 煤ltimas d茅cadas del siglo XIX, naci贸 el 20 de abril de 1828 en Leeds, Inglaterra, y creci贸 en un familia de orientaci贸n astrol贸gica. Su abuelo se hab铆a convertido en un devoto de las estrellas despu茅s de leer Complete Herbal, un texto de astrolog铆a m茅dica de Nicolas Culpepper y uno de los pocos textos astrol贸gicos que sobrevivieron al ataque combinado del protestantismo y la Ilustraci贸n en los siglos XVII y XVIII. El anciano Broughton inspir贸 el inter茅s por la astrolog铆a en su hijo m茅dico y, a trav茅s de 茅l, en Luke Broughton y sus hermanos. El hermano mayor de Luke Broughton, Mark, se convirti贸 en el l铆der de una sociedad astrol贸gica en Inglaterra y luego se mud贸 a los Estados Unidos para comenzar el Hor贸scopo Mensual de Broughton en 1849.
Luke Broughton began studying astrology during his teen years, and he moved to the United States in the early 1840s to study natural medicine at the Eclectic Medical College in PhilaEncyclopedia of Occultism & Parapsychology • 5th Ed. Broughton, Luke Dennis 221 delphia. He began a public career in 1860 when he revived his brother’s periodical as Broughton’s Monthly Planet Reader and Astrological Journal (1860–69). After anti-astrology laws were passed in Philadelphia, he moved his medical office to New York City in 1863, his home for the rest of his life. He emphasized astrological medicine and in 1866 began to teach astrology. His initial teaching efforts became the foundation upon which the nation’s major astrological center would be built. He developed a distributorship of astrological literature, the great majority of which came from England.
Luke Broughton comenz贸 a estudiar astrolog铆a durante su adolescencia y se mud贸 a los Estados Unidos a principios de la d茅cada de 1840 para estudiar medicina natural en el Eclectic Medical College en Philadelfia (Encyclopedia of Occultism & Parapsychology • 5th Ed. Broughton, Luke Dennis 221 Delphia. ) Comenz贸 una carrera p煤blica en 1860 cuando revivi贸 el peri贸dico de su hermano como "Broughton's Monthly Planet Reader and Astrological Journal" (1860-1869). Despu茅s de que se aprobaran leyes contra la astrolog铆a en Filadelfia, traslad贸 su consultorio m茅dico a la ciudad de Nueva York en 1863, su hogar por el resto de su vida. Hizo hincapi茅 en la medicina astrol贸gica y en 1866 comenz贸 a ense帽ar astrolog铆a. Sus esfuerzos iniciales de ense帽anza se convirtieron en la base sobre la cual se construir铆a el principal centro astrol贸gico de la naci贸n. Desarroll贸 una distribuci贸n de literatura astrol贸gica, la gran mayor铆a de la cual proced铆a de Inglaterra.
As astrology grew and became the center of renewed controversy, Broughton assumed the dual role of astrology’s defender from its enemies and protector from incompetent astrologers. He wrote and at times appeared as a witness in court on astrology’s behalf. He also attacked people such as Hiram Butler, Eleanor Kirk, and C. W. Roback, astrologers who, he felt, had insufficient training for their work. At the time of his death in 1898, he left his practice to his daughter, who carried on his work and saw to the publication of his most substantive book, The Elements of Astrology (1898).
A medida que la astrolog铆a creci贸 y se convirti贸 en el centro de una controversia renovada, Broughton asumi贸 el papel dual de defensor de la astrolog铆a de sus enemigos y protector de la Astrologia frente a los astr贸logos incompetentes. Escribi贸 y a veces apareci贸 como testigo en juicios en nombre de la astrolog铆a. Tambi茅n atac贸 a personas como Hiram Butler, Eleanor Kirk y C. W. Roback, astr贸logos que, en su opini贸n, ten铆an insuficiente formaci贸n para su trabajo. En el momento de su muerte en 1898, dej贸 sus escritos a su hija, quien continu贸 con su trabajo y se encarg贸 de la publicaci贸n de su libro m谩s importante, Los elementos de la astrolog铆a (1898).
