Editorial Reviews

Product Description
An astrology favorite for ten years
An astrologer’s duty—to interpret and communicate what they see on a chart—is no easy task. They must make creative connections, know what to say when, and help their clients deal with life's most pressing issues.
Noel Tyl illustrates how astrological measurements—through creative synthesis—can be used to effectively counsel individuals. Concrete examples are provided through the horoscopes of 122 celebrities, historical figures, and private clients. Also includes “quick glance” transit tables and a natal and midpoint solar arc analysis directory.


From the Publisher
Synthesis & Counseling in Astrology by Noel Tyl is one of the greatest and most important books on astrology I have ever read. Neither simple nor complicated, it is demanding—when you read this book, you will be asked to dig into the conditions of life and put life into astrological measurements.

Synthesis & Counseling in Astrology has been called "The Professional Manual" for astrologers. It presents the keystone measurements that trigger our awareness of life patterns of conditioning. These singular measurements then reach out for others in the process of synthesis. Patterns start to emerge from the chart, familiar patterns of life that define personal reality. The many parts become a whole.

Your duty as an astrologer is to act as a midpoint between a horoscope and a person. To achieve this you must learn how to communicate what you see in the chart. You must learn to make creative connections, know what and when to say it, determine how to discuss problems, and help your client deal with life's most pressing issues.

One book, and only one book, teaches all of this and more. If you want to be a better astrologer, don't wait. Get "The Professional Manual." Its name: Synthesis & Counseling in Astrology.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Useful Tome, January 19, 2000

By	John Noodles (A Field in ND, USA) - See all my reviews

I cut my astrological teeth on Tyl's work. He tends to be somewhat psychobabble jargony, and as a result often lapses into abstraction, but his technique of homing in on a chart's key points--the points of developmental tension--is remarkably accurate and useful. This book is huge, with gobs of information and examples. The prose is often clunky, unwieldy, but the information is great.

He addresses a wide variety of topics in this book, including career profiling, sexuality, health, and prediction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intense, many examples, for serious students & professionals, June 26, 1998

By A Customer

This is the text book used in Noel Tyl's certification correspondence course for astrologers. It is a heavy duty resource, packed with example charts and explanations of concepts for the intermediate to advanced astrology student/practitioner. Tyl's unique interpretation methods are presented in a concise format, heavily cross referenced and containing many useful extras. This book is a must for the serious astrologer. Astrological links are connected to behavioral psychology and the result is quite impressive.

5.0 out of 5 stars A helpful guide for serious astrology, October 5, 2001

By	G. Alfonsi "gpat" (Asuncion Paraguay) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I read this book as part of Noel's correspondence course. At the beginning it scared me the size of the book, but after I started reading my fear was replaced for a need to continue reading.
Noel's course and books definitely helped me to organize my analysis of a chart. The many examples and cases in this book are very helpful on how to approach and start a chart interpretation. Noel's background in psychology, social work and philosophy adds an important ingredient to the book. Highly recommended!
