KT (Katherine) Boehrer's AstroDataBank record written by Lois Rodden notes the following:
"An
American astrologer and author of her declination studies,
Kt is widely known for her book Declination: The
Other Dimension which was published in 1994 as
the best selling new book at the AFA Convention.
It continued
to be a best selling book every year since then and was going into the 4th.
edition in 2001. Prior to that, she was editor
of The Stellium Quarterly, an astrological journal
that was published primarily to introduce her work with declination to
the general public. From its first edition in 1975 it was a
very successful publication. She was forced to close this
publication down because of the illness and subsequent death of her
husband, James Boehrer."
Leigh Westin, Editor of The Other Dimension, the Newsletter of the NCGR Declination SIG
wrote this tribute to KT:
This grand dame of astrology is credited with the original research and
coining of the term out-of-bounds, a theory that significantly impacted current
interpretation. Two more innovations were her Boehrer Conversion, the mirroring
of out-of-bounds positions to find their active points within the ecliptic, and
the ecliptic graph that vividly allowed out-of-bounds bodies to be
visualized.
Kt’s self-published book Declination: The Other Dimension (1994) was one of the few ever
written exclusively on declination. It touched on all of life, mundane, medical
and individual.
From 1975, she and her husband, Jim, hosted many well-known speakers in the
El Paso area and published the international Stellium Quarterly until Jim’s
death in 1986. Later Kt collaborated with Ed Dearborn to establish the Declination SIG. It
is after her book that the SIG’s newsletter was named: The Other Dimension. She wrote manhy
articles for the newsletter.
There is no question that Kt’s influence and research have been instrumental in
bringing declination to its current popularity. All that knew this generous and genuinely sincere lady will miss her
delightful eloquence, valiant spirit and positive outlook in all that she became
involved.
