Basil's Way: Season 2, Episode 5

Star Love Podcast Host Daniel Beck | Guest Basil Fearrington

On this episode of Star Love Podcast, we welcome astrologer and musician Basil Fearrington. 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. Basil’s astrology is sound, practical, and takes a “common sense” approach, his “New Way Astrology”.

Astrologer, Musician, and Hiker Bruce Scofield.

On episode twelve of the Star Love Podcast we welcome astrologer Bruce Scofield. I’m thrilled to have Bruce on to discuss his wide ranging interests including different forms of astrology and music. We talk about how he moved from playing trumpet to rock music, ultimately becoming an astrologer after seeing the accuracy of some personal transits. From traditional astrology to correlating weather patterns with Saturn transits, Bruce is one of the most original and learned astrologers you will find. 

This episode was recorded February 20, 2020.

Links and Book Recommendations

Link to information about Bruce’s teaching at Kepler College.

Link to Bruce’s academic papers.

Link to Bruce’s writings on Natural Astrology, the branch of astrology more concerned with larger forces of nature rather than individual human beings and their horoscopes.

Link to One Reed Publications, Bruce’s extensive website for all things astrology and Mesoamerican Astrology. You can get a free Maya-Aztec personality report that, I have to say, especially in a pressing, divinatory moment, is spot on!

Below is Bruce’s book on Election Astrology, or the astrology of selecting an opportune moment to start something. Also his other book mentioned in the podcast. Last, Margaret Atwood’s book Surfacing provides a literary path to some of the concepts explored in the podcast.

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.
