Early
in his astrological career, John
Townley introduced the composite
chart technique for analyzing
relationships in his book The
Composite Chart,
and twenty years later wrote the definitive work on the subject, Composite Charts: The Astrology
Of Relationships.
He has pioneered techniques for astrological cycle analysis and
proposed a new, physical basis for astrology. He is also the author of Planets in Love, Dynamic
Astrology,
and Lunar
Returns,
has been the president of
the Astrologers' Guild of America, was the editor of The Astrological
Review, and is a contributor to professional and popular astrological
magazines. His books have been translated into seven languages.
John is
also a
journalist, elected member of the American
Society of Journalists and Authors, historian, preservationist,
performer, and record producer. He can be found, camera and
microphone in hand, covering events ranging
from international
music festivals to ocean sailing races. When he's not behind the camera
and microphone, he's in front of them, performing at maritime concerts
in the U.S. and across Europe. His lifetime maritime and leading-edge
music and recording background (he built the first 12-track
recording studio) is integrated into his approach to
astrology, which is very physical, based on a scaled, tidal/waveform
approach that sees planetary influences as palpable, environmental
phenomena. In this view, the cycles of the planets are the ultra-deep
bass and drum tracks of our existence, and we daily navigate the
ever-changing ocean of their higher overtones.
