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.
