Noel Tyl
Moon Magic in Therapy: Concepts that awaken the spectrum of need fulfillment
The Moon symbolizes all of memory. Just as it collects the light of the Sun, it collects symbolically the experiences of our life, pointedly aligned around the reigning need of our life development process. This is not just recalling a phone number or a movie from a few years back, but the experiential imprints of who and why we are. We develop behaviors supported by memories of our learning experiences, and they are focused strongly within the modality and element of the Moon sign. In this lecture, Tyl will discuss how we can help our clients fulfill their "reigning needs" by establishing workable objectives based on the Moon in their horoscope.
$20 / $15 SFAS members
No pre-registration required

Noel Tyl [no-el' til] is 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, most recently, 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 offers 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 lectures frequently in many countries and maintains a client list of individuals and corporations throughout the world. He is now releasing, with 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 is 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.
