John Frawley (astrologer)

John Frawley (born 16 May 1955 in London, England) is a traditional astrologer, writer and educator, who has been noted for practicality and directness of approach,[1] a depth of scholarship,[2] and a provocative, challenging and witty style.

[5] The different approaches of traditional and modern astrology are later illustrated through contrasting delineations of Adolf Hitler's birthchart by typical applications of each method.

and a number of other British television shows, where he accurately predicted outcomes for high-profile sports contests.
