He established "revised" or modern astrology in Germany. Although little of Ring's work has been translated into English, his influence in German-language astrology is significant. Thomas Ring initially became known as a painter. He spent his youth in Berlin where he began an arts degree in 1911, and although he concentrated on astrology from about the 1920s he never lost his keen interest in the arts. Before then he had rejected astrology and concentrated instead on art, philosophy and psychology. His interest in astrology grew during his time as a prisoner of war.
