ISAR (International Society for Astrological Research)

ISAR, the International Society for Astrological Research, is a worldwide professional association for astrologers, now led by president Jenn Zahrt from its Los Angeles base. Its mission is to elevate astrology as a respected, ethical and evolving field of study worldwide, pursued through education, certification and research, with goals that include fostering international collaboration among astrologers and schools and supporting research that bridges astrology with other academic fields.

Its best-known credential is ISAR CAP, the Certified Astrological Professional designation, which rests on a published code of ethics and formal certification requirements. Members take part in weekly Star Club talks, a Master Series of workshops, in-person meetups, and a conference program; recent programming runs from panels on how magic and divination intertwine with astrological practice to lectures on planetary shadow work. ISAR maintains an extensive media archive of videos, articles and educational materials, an affiliated schools network, and a journal.

The society is run by a board of directors and staff with international liaisons across countries, positioning itself as the professional home for working astrologers rather than a single school. The institution's stated mission: To elevate astrology as a respected, ethical, and evolving field of study worldwide.
