PARKERITERS

Julia's interest in astrology began in 1965. She studied for the Diploma of the Faculty of Astrological Studies, the world's premium teaching body (of which she subsequently became first its Secretary, then its President, and finally one of its three Patrons). Derek meanwhile became interested in the history of the subject, and in 1970 published a study of astrology in the modern world. Derek and Julia then collaborated on a textbook, The Compleat Astrologer, which became a world-wide best-seller and was to remain in print for over a quarter of a century.
