In this video I put together a rough story-line of Noel's life path and his general trajectory up to 1980 from the year of birth in1936. There are a few speculations but most of Tyl's life-story has been published in a variety of different books and magazine articles, as well as personal information given in various recorded lectures and teaching. I discuss his Sun conjunct Jupiter in Capricorn and Moon in Leo in more detail and trace some his key life-events along with some of his philosophy of life derived from social psychology and the  Christian existentialism of Paul Tillich with whom he studied at Harvard University. I briefly explore his first book, The Horoscope as Identity (1972) (NB: not "Astrology as Identity" as a say in the video), his Principles and Practice of Astrology texbooks (1972-74) and what they contain; the Guide to P and P of Astrology - College Curriculum teaching course, (1979/80); The Case of the Missing Moon (1979) and I try to place them in the context of Tyl's career path - including his time in the field of Opera ager 30 onwards. I forgot to mention his magazine Astrology Now that continued for about 5 years but I have never read it and so it has not figured in my overall understanding of Tyl and his work.
