I am thrilled to have these three unsolicited testimonials from astrologer Robert Hand:
“An interesting synthesis!” (speaking with me one-on-one, in response to the summary of the features of my entire body of work in astrology I had just presented to him at his request, during the Blast Astrology Conference of 2007)
“I speak about postmodern astrology, but I don’t do it. Ben is doing it.” (speaking with another astrologer and me during the United Astrology Conference of 2012) (Parenthetical note: On a subsequent occasion, he told me he had begun doing it as well.)
“Ben is the authority on this.” [the field of various possible mystic sources of astrological content] (speaking with a small group of astrologers including me during the Northwest Astrological Conference of 2013)
