Description

In the autumn of 1984 a revised and re-designed edition of The Compleat Astrologer was published as The New Compleat Astrologer, launched by a coast-to-coast tour of the USA. In the autumn of 1985 Dreaming, a book on the interpretation of dreams, was published, presenting a system of dream interpretation on which Julia had worked over some years. (Derek and Julia were guest dream analysis on the ITV morning show The Big Breakfast for some months after its launch). It was at Plymouth that he met Julia, who had left school at the age of fourteen to attend Plymouth College of Art as its youngest ever student. She combined her art studies with a talent for dancing, and not only studied ballet but danced professionally as part of the famous Tiller Girls troupe. She later taught art at Plymouth College for Boys. Julia took part in five highly successful series of television programmes for BBC South-West, Zodiac and Co. Both she and Derek have appeared together and separately on innumerable TV and radio discussion programmes in the UK, USA, Australia and New Zealand. They have lectured all over the world, and recorded a series of twelve astrological videos. Derek and Julia Parker are among the best-known writers on astrology and dream interpretation - you have seen their books in the bookshops, and probably heard and seen them on radio and TV. Here are some facts about them, details of some of their books - and a free updated monthly astrological column!

Educated at Fowey Grammar School, Derek started his working life as a reporter on The Cornishman, a weekly newspaper in Penzance, and went on to become drama critic of the daily Western Morning News in Plymouth. By this time he had already published two slim collections of poetry, and seen his verse-play Beyond Wisdom produced. Learn about signs, zodiac houses, and planetary influences. Parkers’ Astrology: The Essential Guide to Using Astrology in Your Daily Life by Julia Parker – eBook Details c/o Dorling Kindersley plc, 80, Strand, London WC2R 0RL - but please note that Julia no longer does consultancy work. Derek (who had made his first radio broadcast at the age of fifteen) left newspapers to join the staff of TWW, an independent television station in Cardiff, Wales, as announcer, newscaster, scriptwriter, presented and interviewer. Julia, joining him in Wales, worked as a freelance set designer and graphic artist. They then moved to London, where Derek worked as a freelance writer and broadcaster and Julia first as an art teacher at Hammersmith Girls' Comprehensive School, then as writer and consultant astrologer. Between 1965 and 1970 Derek edited Poetry Review, and in 1968 published (as his first prose book) a short biography of Lord Byron. He organised the successful appeal to place a memorial to that poet in Poets' Corner of Westminster Abbey. In 1970 he edited (with John Lehmann) the selected letters of Edith Sitwell.Derek and Julia now live in Sydney with the similarly expatriate Toorak (the most recent of three wire-haired fox terriers). They were born in England exactly two months apart in the same year - Julia (in Plymouth) on July 27, and Derek (in Cornwall) on May 27. Twenty-five years later they were married, in Julia's birthday - at exactly the time of the New Moon in Leo, though they didn't know that at the time!
