About the author
Geoffrey Cornelius is a British astrologer and writer known for reframing astrology as a divinatory art rather than a predictive science. His best-known book, The Moment of Astrology, argues that the meaning of a chart arises from the moment of enquiry itself, drawing on the history of divination to challenge how astrologers understand their own practice, and it remains widely discussed within the field for its argument. He has also written more introductory and reference-style work, including Starlore of the Constellations, which surveys the myths and symbolism attached to the night sky's constellations. Across his writing, Cornelius moves between close argument and accessible explanation, and his work is frequently cited by other writers on astrology and the history of divination. His books are published by Wessex Astrologer and Watkins Publishing, both established imprints within the field.
