Michael Erlewine has studied and practiced astrology for over 40 years, as an author, teacher, lecturer, personal consultant, programmer, and conference producer.
Erlewine was the first astrologer to program astrology, on microcomputers and make those programs available to his fellow astrologers. This was in 1977. He founded Matrix Astrology in 1978, and his company, along with Microsoft, are the two oldest software companies still on the Internet.
Michael, soon joined by his astrologer-brother Stephen Erlewine, went on to revolutionize astrology by producing, for the new microcomputers, the first written astrological reports, first research system, first high resolution chart wheels, geographic and star maps, and on and on.
Along the way Matrix produced programs that spoke astrology (audio), personal astrological videos, infomercials, and many other pioneering feats.
Michael Erlewine has received major awards from UAC (United Astrological Conferences), AFA (American Federation of Astrologers), and the PIA (Professional Astrologers Incorporated), and scores on online awards.
Michael and Stephen Erlewine have published a yearly calendar for almost 30 years, since 1969. Michael Erlewine has produced and put on more than 36 conferences in the areas of astrology and Buddhism

In 1972, Michael Erlewine and his wife Margaret founded the Heart Center for Communion Studies, a large eight-bedroom house that has been the home for hundreds of astrologers, musicians, authors, scholars, and visitors over the years. It is still operating.
Erlewine also founded and directs The Heart Center Astrological Library, the largest astrological library in the United States, and probably the world, that is open to researchers. Meticulously catalogued, the current library project is the scanning of the Table of Contents for all major books and periodicals on astrology.
In recent years, Michael Erlewine has been busy illustrating all of the many astrological factors that can be found in a natal chart having produced over 6,000 tarot-card like images to date. He has produced a number of inexpensive programs for non-astrologers, featuring these Astro*Image TM cards that are available from the Matrix Software site (thenewage.com). They are changing the way people see and use astrology.
Current projects involve AstroTree.com on online spiritual community and social network, with a built-in IM (instant messaging) system, and AstroFactsTM, an effort to collect astrological writings and entries in a single encyclopedia-like database, Michael can be reached at: Michael@Erlewine,net. |
