Basil has had a phenomenal music career playing with the likes of Roberta Flack, Stevie Wonder, George Benson, and more, and has also recorded his own solo albums as well. He is a leading astrologer and is the go-to authority on the methods of the late astrologer Noel Tyl, his teacher. This is an extraordinary podcast for lovers of music, featuring harrowing stories about Donny Hathaway, among others.

On episode 9 of the Star Love podcast we welcome astrologer Lori Randall Stradtman. Lori and I met in an online forum under an auspicious Pisces moon and lucky degree (12) of Gemini Rising (to research this further, and maybe use for yourself, purchase this book and go to page 165-166). We discuss Lori’s early interest in mythology, her impressive background in marketing, and her move to use astrology as a tool to guide people to their evolutionary purpose and ultimately, happiness.
