Book Description

Publication Date: July 8, 2007

Add amazing depth, detail, and insight to your astrological consultations with the help of this guidebook by world-renowned astrologer Noel Tyl. In this valuable reference work, Tyl explores astrological interpretation as an art form. Emphasizing the horoscope as a reflection of the individual, he demonstrates how to transform astrological data into a finely detailed personality portrait, from computer data organization to nuance-rich consultation interaction. Tyl's discussion includes a grand array of indispensable keys to analysis, vividly explained in the context of how they relate to the evolving life experience of an individual.

Noel Tyl's Guide to Astrological Consultation also presents a cohesive, effective format for meeting with clients, offering many lucid therapy ideas and ten major considerations to maximize the client benefit from the astrological experience. Verbatim case studies of five Tyl consultations—including thought processes and exact dialogue—highlight sharpest astrological deductions and the nuances of compelling interaction between astrologer and client.

2.0 out of 5 stars ok, but not comprehensive, May 6, 2009

This review is from: Noel Tyl's Guide to Astrological Consultation (Paperback)

This book is mostly case studies with transcripts of Tyl's consultations. I have three main problems with the book. For one, Tyl's consultation style rubs me the wrong way. He really dominates the session and talks over the client. His style is quite self-aggrandizing. The first question he often asks is what the person does for a living-not why they are there to see him. In fact, he never asks why the client is there, which I find astonishing. Another problem I have is that simply publishing consultation transcripts is a lazy way to demonstrate how to run an astrological practice, and not at all comprehensive. He doesn't address the real life issues that a consulting astrologer faces, like how to deal with reading for adolescents and children, how to structure readings, how to charge. Third, I just read Tyl's Solar Arc book, which also is heavy on session transcripts and very similar to this book. Tyl publishes book after book of the same type of material.
A much better book for a consulting astrologer is Donna Cunningham's Consulting Astrologer's Guidebook. She deals with real life issues that we consulting astrologers face, like what to charge and money issues in gerneral, how to handle readings for children and teens, how to structure readings. Her book is much more practical and comprehensive in detail.

Before ordering the book I was quite familiar with the content because I got deep insight reading it on Google Books. Noel Tyl writes in a very good style, very accurate in his preaparation and the structure of his books as well as his consultations are built up quite properly. He is the first astrologer I read who is able to show the whole picture not only in analizing but helping the clients also. Since all his book are built upon logic they really make sense therefore easy to understand.
