British pro astrologer based in Brighton, England who began his studies in the early 1970s. Certified by the Faculty of Astrological Studies, Ron taught classes for new and advanced students and held the post of Secretary to The Sussex Astrological Society in Brighton.
As a boy during WWII and into the ‘50s, his household billeted American personnel and his interest began in the U.S. He left school at 15 and trained as a cabinetmaker. He married in 1966 and divorced three years later. By age 35, he was a single parent, taking care of his October Scorpio son, born in 1966.
During the U.S. Civil War centennial years, 1961-1965, he was a member of The Confederate Historical Society (CHS); this brought him into contact with many American Civil War Round Tables and historians who further expanded his interest in American history. As a serving member of the CHS he gave talks on many and various aspects of the Civil War, with an emphasis on the political and economic roles of England and France. Intrigued by the controversy over the formative chart of America, for two decades he extensively researched his book, “A Chronology of American Charts.” The result is a “must-have” reference work for all Mundane astrologers and students of world affairs. His book has over 500 charts and maps for events in U.S. history, all supported by reliable sources.
The “Chronology” contains an in-depth look at the events of 4 July 1776, concluding that the Declaration of Independence was actually passed during the late morning of this auspicious day, rectified by Ron to 11:00 AM. As of 2001, Ron was compiling a second volume on U.S. historical and event charts. His subsequent book American Histrology was published in 2014.
His recreation was centerred on astrology, writing and historic research along with dining out and enjoying the company of friends. He died on 7 December 2021 at age 79 in London.
