Philip Sedgwick - Arizona

Philip SedgwickPhilip commenced his study of astrology in 1969 while serving in the U.S. Navy.  In 1976, while attending a lecture by a colleague, the late Joyce Werhman, she referred to the Galactic Center. That provided the push for Philip to explore the astrology of those things in near and deep space, no longer limiting his work to the confines of this solar system. Deep Space Astrology and Whole Sky astrology rose from those seeds, both Bringing Heaven to Earth. He previously authored three print books on astrology: The Astrology of Transcendence and The Astrology of Deep Space and The Sun at the Center - A Primer of Heliocentric Astrology (now available as an e-book). He was a contributing writer for Llewellyn's Sun Sign Guide 1986, 1988 and 1989 and Spiritual, Metaphysical & New Trends in Modern Astrology.  His Galactic Ephemeris of over 8,700 deep space objects leads astrologers on discoveries of potent sources profoundly affecting our natal horoscopes. Philip additionally produced a galactic software add-on for the popular Solar Fire program, entitled Galastro, and written a Galactic interpretive report for the Kepler/Pegasus softwares.
