Source-derived summary

The Monthly Aspectraian, founded in 1979 by the late Guy Spiro, an astrologer, was a free print and later online magazine featuring the daily “Astro-Weather” for the upcoming month.

History and profile

Founded in 1979 by Guy Spiro, The Monthly Aspectraian started its publishing the same year. It was based in Morton Grove, a suburb of Chicago, and published under the auspices of Lightworks.

The monthly periodical was distributed in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area, northwestern Indiana and northern Illinois, as well as nationwide by subscription.

The magazine described itself as "dedicated to awakening consciousness, with the focus of our efforts being in the areas of personal growth, healthy and holistic living, spiritual transformation, and global awareness."

The Monthly Aspectarian was revived in November 2012 as Conscious Community Magazine. The original Monthly Aspectarian had a large section so named featuring a wide variety of diverse modalities from acupuncture to zen meditation.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as monthly Magazine of Personal Astrology. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 15, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q7752118. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1979 and 2012.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
