Gazing through astronomical telescopes in his early teens led Steven to begin exploring astrology. He received a B.A. in Religion in 1971 from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and shortly thereafter began to establish his astrological practice.
In 1984, Bantam Books published his first book, The Inner Sky.Esquire magazine called it "intelligent, well-written and actually fun." That volume was followed in 1986 by The Changing Sky. In 1988, with his wife, Jodie Forrest, he released the third volume of the popular Sky trilogy, Skymates (now out of print. A new, expanded version was published by Seven Paws Press in late 2001.) Steven's fourth book was published by ACS in May 1993. Titled The Night Speaks, it is an extended argument for the intellectual and philosophical plausibility of astrology. His fifth work, The Book of Pluto, was released in May 1995. Regarding that book, HOROSCOPE magazine described Steven as "not only a premier astrologer, but also a wise man." Measuring the Night: Evolutionary Astrology and the Keys to the Soul, by Steven Forrest and Jeffrey Wolf Green, is based on a series of lectures the authors did together and was co-published by Seven Paws Press and Daemon Press. In 2002, Seven Paws Press published Steven's first novel, Stalking Anubis, a murder mystery featuring astrologer-detective Plato Mims. In 2004, Seven Paws Press published Rafael Nasser's Under One Sky, featuring a chapter by Steven. 2005 has seen the release of volume two of the revised and expanded Skymates -- Skymates: The Composite Chart.
Additionally, Steven has written technical articles for most of the major American astrological journals and several national magazines outside the astrological field. He composed the texts for two popular computerized astrological report writers: "The Sky Within" and "SkyLog." He and his wife Jodie have also written the text for a pair of relationship reports: The Sky We Share and The Single Sky, a joint project with Alphee Lavoie's AIR Software. In an effort to bring his choice-centered approach to wider audiences, Steven has also written the monthly astrology column for ELLE and SASSY magazines and has appeared on the national cable TV show, "Alive and Wellness," as well as many radio programs around the country. His work has been translated into several languages, and he travels widely throughout the United States, Mexico and Canada lecturing on astrological topics, although his primary focus is still on his private astrological practice. Most notably, he has taught at Omega Institute, the NY Open Center and the Marion Foundation, and recently addressed the Fellows at Andrew Weil's program in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona, Tucson.
Steven is currently Chair of the Kepler College Advisory Council, which is part of an effort to open an accredited astrologically-oriented university in Seattle, WA. Steven is leading three Apprenticeship Programs, two based in CA and one in Kansas City, KS. Steven won the 1985 Professional Astrologers Incorporated Award for "Outstanding Contribution to the Art and Science of Astrology," and was nominated for a United Astrology Congress Regulus Award in 1992 and 1995. Of Steven's work, Sting says that he "...manages to disarm the sceptic, as well as debunk the charlatanism that surrounds popular astrology, with language that is as intelligent and cogent as it is poetic."
Steven lives in the woods near Chapel Hill, North Carolina, with his wife, astrologer and novelist Jodie Forrest, and two very spoiled cats, where he entertains himself with his guitars and his garden.
