What is this "AstroCocktail" ?

...it's that heady mix we drink as the rhythms of the sky above come to ground to drive the surrounding symphony of Earth and our dance of life here below. The movements of the planets are the deep bass and rhythm tracks on top of which our individual songs are sung, where the expectations of our hearts and minds play out like instruments in a band, and which suffuse every moment of our days and nights. From the shortest sparrow’s flight to the rise and fall of civilizations, at every scale the beat goes on, and we have only to watch and listen to make it more closely our own, to find our part, our melody and harmony, within that music which permeates all.

John Townley is an astrologer, musician, writer, mariner, historian, and counselor whose lifelong mission has been to bring these elements together and make their mixture accessible and understandable in a clear and unified way. Across an over 45-year career, he has been a pioneer and practitioner of original methods of horoscope delineation (he introduced the composite chart and cycle-dynamics analysis). But, he is also a rare “theoretical” astrologer whose work is constructed on a grounded physical basis for astrology derived from simple cause-and-effect that avoids confusing and conflicting ties to changing schools of psychology or varieties of spiritual belief. His rooted, tidal/waveform approach brings precious clarity and reliable simplicity to a field that is generally overly-complex, contradictory, and crowded with irrelevant fallacy.
