John S Dawson is mainly interested in mundane and medieval astrology and is currently working on two books covering the eras of Richard III and Charles I. The books will concentrate on discovering just how much influence medieval and early modern astrologers had in the political decision making process. John gained his BSc in Engineering Science with the Open University while working as a research technician at Leeds University in his native Yorkshire. John now works for a leading aerospace company in the north of England where he works as a technical author.

John is  the UK Vice President for ISAR: - The International Society for Astrological Reserch.
In the future we hope to host local qualifying exams for astrologers to attain ISAR's CAP qualification.

One time council member of the Astrological Association of Great Britain.

John is publicity officer for Northern Lights Astrological Club in Blackpool, Lancashire.
The club is one of the oldest in the region being in continuous existence under various titles since the 1950's.

The club meets on the first Tuesday of the month (except in December) at the Blackpool Cricket Club, Stanley Park (upstairs room). Meetings are from 8:00 till 10:00 PM.
