Belgian pro astrologer, author of “The Graphic Ephemeris 1920-2040” (1998), “Planetary Cycles at a glance” (2001), and of the annual “Rainbow Ephemeris” since 2003. Her full name is Baroness Astrid Marie Valentine Josephe Barbara Fallon Yeardley.
The first of five kids, Astrid was raised in Brussels in a friendly, democratic home: daughter of aristocrats, she seldom uses her title of Baroness. As a child, she was shy and dyslexic but by the time she was 16, had a motorbike and was exercising her independence. In October 1969, her class elected her their representative, giving her confidence a large boost. After graduation, she spent a year in travel, visiting the U.S. and the continent.
Astrid first read astrology at 14 and psychology at 17. In 1979 she graduated in Garden and Landscape Architecture. Around 1980 her life reached a pause. She had broken off with her boyfriend and was doing interim work. In June 1981, she became immersed in astrology where suddenly the study explained and consumed her life.
She was already teaching and counselling when Astrid dates her time of becoming a professional in her calling as 2 January 1985. In 1988, three stars in an astrologer’s guide gave credit to her work. This led her to become president of FAB (Federation Astrologique Belge) 1988-1994.
On 21 November 1990, she married Englishman Jonathan Yeardley (born 7 November 1956). They have a daughter, Kym, born on 12 February 1991, 19:00 GMT, Sheffield, two months preemie; twin girls born on 13 August 1992, three months preemie, who did not survive; and a son, Max, born on 30 April 1994, three months preemie, who lived 15 hours. With all four children, the water broke prematurely (Uranus MC square Moon-Neptune ASC).
Her husband’s business occasioned a move to England in 1986 and from that time, Astrid’s efforts leaned toward writing and publishing. She speaks French, English, Spanish, Flemish, and Latin and enjoys the international conferences. She visited USA for 1986 and 1988 AFA conferences, ISAR 2000 and UAC 2002 congress.
