John Townley
About
Working in the Western (multiple lineages) tradition, John Townley consults from Unknown on astrological practice. John's professional standing is anchored in Featured on The Astrology Podcast. Composite Charts, with Originator John Townley October 13, 2017 Episode 128 features an interview with astrologer John Townley about composite charts, and his work in developing and promoting the technique starting in the early 1970s. John was the first person to publish a book on the subject in 1973, and is generally recognized as having popularized the technique. During the course of the interview we discuss his background in astrology, how the concept of composite charts was first developed, and what some of the implications of the technique are. Discussed in depth on The Astrology Podcast with Chris Brennan. John consults with individual clients seeking depth over forecast — the kind of reading that names what the chart is actually showing rather than predicting outcomes.
What a reading with John is like
John's consulting practice is grounded in the Western (multiple lineages) tradition. Sessions typically involve close work with the natal chart, current transits, and the specific question the client brings — depth over forecast, named themes over vague predictions.
