Antony L. Milner left England and came to the US fifty years ago. Having studied astrology through the British Astrological Association, he came to America to attend the 1974 conference of the American Federation of Astrologers in San Francisco where Dane Rudhyar was the keynote speaker. In the following year Tony collaborated with Michael R. Meyer on a series of workshops on cyclicity and phase-oriented astrology. Having decided to make northern California his home, he went on to assist Rudhyar and collaborate with his wife Leyla Hill while living in Palo Alto. During this time, he compiled and edited Rudhyar’s taped lectures in addition to recording Rudhyar reading from his works. Antony had previously pursued a career in design in London. He came to believe that living a double life was appropriate for himself—as a Gemini. And, in fact, Rudhyar encouraged him to do exactly that, namely, returning to his agency work as a creative director, and later as an executive in the world of business—all the while maintaining an active participation in astrology.

He was reintroduced to NCGR through his collaboration with the late, and dearly missed,
Chet Zdrowski with whom he was compiling a digital archive of over a thousand magazine articles Rudhyar wrote.

Now retired and living in the foothills of the Crystal range of the Sierra mountains, he pursues his astrological interests and is supporting Leyla Hill in the archiving of Rudhyar’s published and unpublished literary materials and related ephemera.    

Tony is delighted to have the opportunity to share his experiences with his NCGR-Sacramento colleagues and other welcome visitors.
