A tribute to astrologer Robert Blaschke
There are no words to express how much of a loss, Robert Blaschke’s passing is, not only to the astrological community and those touched by his presence, but also for astrologers, like me, whose careers were launched by his books ( A Handbook for the Self-Employed Astrologer ) and personal lives were touched by his genius, his ground-breaking techniques and his dedication to documenting his knowledge in such detail.
