这些年颇有人从现代走向崇古，有的不免走得太过。只是旧时经典固然经典，新物事也未必就一定不好用的，现代自然科学并非有过无功，宋儒清儒未必一无是处，用时方的医生们也没有就治不好病，谁说现代西洋占星就要算不准呢。
Neol Tyl是有名的现代占星师，他官网上的简介：
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 making some of his seminars available on DVD’s with his new
“Tyl Teaches” series. In August, 2006, Tyl released the first two
volumes – Volume 1: “15 Indispensable Keys to Analysis” and Volume
2: “The Magic of Solar Arcs.” In these two full-day seminars, 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.
