John Partridge was a 17th‑century English astrologer known as an author and editor of almanacs and astrology manuals. Born in East Sheen, Surrey, he came from modest origins—working as a shoemaker in Covent Garden—and taught himself Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Those studies enabled him to enroll at the University of Leiden, where he earned a degree in Medicine and began signing himself “Physician to his Majesty.”
Partridge advocated a reform of astrology: he sought to remove elements of the medieval Arabic tradition and return to the principles of Ptolemy, publishing instructional works such as Mikropanastron, a compendium of horary, electional and natal techniques, as well as other almanacs including Mercurius Coelestis and Merlinus redivivus.
Politically aligned with the Whigs, he lived in exile in the Dutch Republic during the reign of James II and engaged in heated disputes with colleagues such as John Gadbury and George Parker. His career was marred by a famous literary hoax by Jonathan Swift in 1708, which falsely announced his death—an episode that caused him considerable public damage and harmed his reputation.
Partridge’s legacy places him among the popularizers and polemicists of traditional English astrology, both for his printed output and for his efforts to systematize the theory of astrological practice.
