I have made the difficult decision to no longer support AstrologyBloggers.com.
Although maintenance requires little effort, I have acknowledged to myself that I have not been willing to put in the effort to grow it. Additionally, the screenshots service — which I originally used to save myself the time of doing them myself — is a financial drain for a site that has no income-generating potential.
Elsa is doing a splendid job at featuring quality astrology content from several blogs at AstroDispatch. I refer you there to find the best astrology blogs.
In the interest of accessibility, I am making all the data from the Astrology Blogger Directory publicly available. If you run a WordPress blog, you can download the AstrologyBloggers xml file and import it into your blog. You are free to start your own directory, however you see fit.
I am also willing to sell the domain names astrologyblogger.com and/or astrologybloggers.com for a reasonable price.
It was my pleasure to serve the astrological community, and I hope you will understand my reasons for moving on.

Jeff,
All I can say is thank you for your hard work and contributions to the astrology blogging community. It was through you that I became aware that there even WAS an astrology blogging community which I now enjoy and learn from daily.
Best wishes in all your future endeavors…
I too want to thank you Jeffrey. You were the first blogger ever to link to me and you will always have a special place in my astro family.
Jeff – I’ve only just caught up with this news as I’ve been away/very busy etc.and only juts now came across it as I was tidying up some of the links I have on my blog.
A big thank you for all you’ve done to promote astrology blogs – this really IS appreciated. And I can fully understand how time consuming it can become doing something of this kind.
So just sending you a big thank you from one grateful astrologer.
Folks:
Real astrologers are being undermined by astrology.com. They are co-opting you. They are buying up “name” astrologers and using them to front BS astrology for the real thing. You work hard to provide good information to people,but a few are after nothing but dollars at the cost of a living for astrologers and the integrity of the oldest science. You need to stand up, wake up, speak up. People like the Matrix guy are trying to make money at both ends = producing stuff for astrology.com and selling you stuff, including selling you “BOOKS” that are offered for free on astrology.com who is paying him for his information.
COME ON PEOPLE. This is important to astrology. We work hard to provide people with information that can improve their lives. These people are after NOTHING but dollars. Good to earn a living doing what we do, but to “rape” everyone and the art for the sake of a dollar ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, pLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLease.
Thank you for all that you did and tried to do for us.
