John Frawley

John Frawley (born 16 May 1955 in London, England) is a traditional astrologer, writer and educator, who has been noted for practicality and directness of approach, a depth of scholarship, and a provocative, challenging and witty style.

Astrological technique and works Frawley became interested in astrology at a very early age, but was repeatedly frustrated at limitations he found in the schools of modern astrology that had emerged from the thinking of 19th-century Theosophist Alan Leo.

In the book's introduction, Victor Laude criticises modern astrology for "never saying anything concrete; making only universally valid pronouncements; always flattering its audience" and for avoiding anything controversial or unpleasant. The different approaches of traditional and modern astrology are later illustrated through contrasting delineations of Adolf Hitler's birthchart by typical applications of each method. The term "The Real Astrology" was coined by Frawley as a distinct term for the modern-day practice and application of traditional astrological methods.

The Real Astrology was described in the Astrological Association Journal as "a must for all serious astrologers". It was followed by several further published works. All titles have been translated into several languages.

In the late 1990s, Frawley regularly appeared on British television, including hosting his own daily program Frawley and the Fish on L!VE TV. He featured in Odds on Sport, Predictions! and a number of other British television shows, where he accurately predicted outcomes for high-profile sports contests.

Frawley runs his own diploma courses in traditional horary and traditional natal astrology. He has speaking and lecturing engagements around the world, some of which have been recorded and distributed on compact disc.
