Author Noel Tyl Has Passed
Today we sadly mark the passing of Noel Jan Tyl, who authored more than 30 books on astrology and related topics. His first book, The Horoscope Identity, was published by Llewellyn 46 years ago and led to a long-standing friendship with Carl Llewellyn Weschke. The two became neighbors in St. Paul, MN during the 1970s, and he helped Carl at book fairs and conferences. Carl had many great anecdotal stories about their time together.
Tyl was a towering figure, not only in stature but in the field of astrology. His 12-book series The Principles and Practice of Astrology were a fundamental resource to the study of astrology. What many people do not know is that Noel was also a classical opera singer and performed in opera houses around the world. When the Harvard graduate was not singing, he spent his time teaching astrology to generations.

Noel made a huge impact on the world during his time here. I hope he is continuing to sing amongst the stars.
Sending blessings towards his next life in the celestial realm.
It’s interesting to read that he passed away on his birthday, but I would take this as a “reincarnation” into the spiritual realm.

Birth and Death time are always appreciated by all who knew Noel, heard him lecture, and to all those practicing general, medical, and research astrology specifically. Additionally any link which might share health fact details are learning fact tools hold substance and credit for any article on a persons life.
I am very sorry to hear that Noel has passed over, not least because he was such good company. A giant in every sense of the word, he and I only met a few times but we had a lively correspondence, sharing books and commentaries on each others work. I single out his book ‘Astrology of the Famed’for special mention. In this he recreates, through the forensic use of astrology, the horoscope of Queen Cleopatra of Egypt. With only the slenderest information to go on (that she was born in early 69 BC) he was able to adduce, in a very convincing way, her horoscope to the exact day and hour. Now I can’t think of any other astrologer, alive or dead, who could have done that! So farewell Noel my noble friend. Our loss is Heaven’s gain.
