Robert P. Blaschke, Reinhold Ebertin, Noel Tyl, Charles Harvey, Michael Harding, Robert Hand, Nick Dagan Best, Chris Brennan, Moses Sirergar III, are a few to name of the astrologers whom have had an enormous influence on my astrology and morals, and whom I have the utmost respect for.

I met Chris Brennan in 2004 over the Noel Tyl forum. We had communicated a few times and I was under the assumption that he was a much older experienced astrologer. As we delved further into communication I found out that we were roughly the same age, and it was rather inspiring to find someone else in their early twenties that exposed such dedication towards their astrological studies. When he started his myspace group “Horoscopic Astrology” in early 2005 I was one of the first to join and I could remember there being only a few dozen members at the time. Along with him and myself, and members who joined early in the growth of HA such as Nick Dagan Best (a strong advocate of youth astrologers) and Patrick Watson, who was an over-aged intellectual 17 year old at the time and made an enormous impact with his common devotion to learning astrology, the forum gained a reputation of seriousness and intensity, and soon attracted large numbers of members as well as some older very experienced astrologers such as Rick Levine, Steven Forrest, Jeff Jawer, Robert Blaschke–just to name a few. Moses Siregar, another friend who has been there for me,  has done a lot for youth education and sponsoring for astrology and he joined as soon as he found out as well, and continued to support youth astrologers in his major-hit conference “The Blast” in Sedona, AZ–lots of admirable kudos go out to Moses. Without Chris Brennan and his forum I don’t know if I ever would have found and jumped into the astrological community so soon. It was truly inspiring to watch Chris make his move into the community, make an impact on the Association for Young Astrologers, and get speaking positions at large astrology conferences such as Norwac 2006, and The Blast 2007 at only 21-22 years old!

I met Nick Dagan kind of by fluke while surfing through Star IQ.com. I enjoyed his articles and found out he was from Montreal like myself. He has supported me since then and has introduced me to fellow Montreal astrologers, John Campbell, and Axel Harvey. We have all met up quite a few times and I consider them friends and colleagues who have also supported me in my endeavors.

While all of the astrologers mentioned above have egged on my esteem and the will to continue far into my obsession with astrology, there are just a few who have really influenced my technique and interest in research. I originally started my serious studies with Noel Tyl, who I was enrolled with briefly in early 2005. While I left his course due to some differences, which I still hold to this day, I have to admit what an impact he has had on me for certain aspects of analysis such as solar arc theory, midpoints, and Aries Point configurations. When I picked up Robert Blaschke’s “Vol I: Progressions” I immediately idolized him. I had him sign it at Norwac 2006, and while he had no idea who I was, other than some fan, he later got to know me as an astrologer through Chris Brennan’s forum and we have been good friends since, keeping in touch regularly. He has promoted me as an astrologer and he truly has the most special place in my heart, not only as an astrologer, but as a friend, with his Moon on my Ascendant and many common aspects between our natal charts.

Reinhold Ebertin, Robert Blaschke, Charles Harvey, and Noel Tyl, are probably the main few who have contributed to my technique and avid interest in geometry, planetary configurations, harmonics, progressions, and any form of astrological criteria that deals with the most physical background.

This is somewhat of a rough draft so I apologize for that which I may have left out–I consider this page work in progress.
