Background
Meet Noel Tyl
Noel Tyl [no-el’ til] was one of the foremost astrologers in the world. His thirty-three
textbooks have led the teaching of astrologers for two generations. Tyl wrote the
comprehensive professional manual for the field– the 1,000-page text Synthesis &
Counseling in Astrology – which put astrology securely in pace with the most
sophisticated disciplines of humanistic studies extant today. As well, he has written
Vocations: The New Midheaven Extension Process, a much-needed guide that will
forever change the process of astrological vocational counseling.
In the 1970’s, it was Tyl who first integrated psychological need theory into astrological
analysis. In the years thereafter, he has continued to hone that process with an eye to
keeping analysis clear and relevant to his clients’ lives. He has eschewed the all-to-
common practice of adding unnecessary layers of measurement complexity onto chart
analysis simply because computers allow it to be done. He offered a streamlined
approach that brings each horoscope vividly to life and properly centers astrological
consultations on the reality experience of people rather than upon a compendium of
technical textbook measurements.
Tyl lectured frequently in many countries and had a client list of individuals and
corporations throughout the world including Rose Productions, a series of 9 DVDs of
astrological instruction: The Tyl Masterwork Series. Tyl shows astrologers how to
unchain themselves from “this means that” thinking and thereby free themselves to
engage their clients in meaningful, productive conversations.
Tyl was a graduate of Harvard University in Social Relations (Psychology, Sociology,
and Anthropology).
Tyl was a co-founder of AFAN (Association for Astrological Networking), astrology’s
world organization, and retired from the position of Presiding Officer after serving AFAN
for eleven years.
In May 1998, Tyl was honored at the United Astrology Congress, the world convention
for astrology, as the recipient of the Regulus Award for establishing and maintaining
professional image in the field.
Noel’s first major student was Basil Fearrington whom he met in August, 1976. Basil
was asked to relocate from America to Johannesburg for one year and he taught Noel’s
work there. This site and the Tyl Masters Course were passed over to Basil prior to
Noel’s passing.
