Rob Tillett, is a poet, astrologer and musician. As well as being a magician, healer, dramatist and composer, he is the editor and publisher of Astrology on the Web and has written many of the articles on this website.

"I started this website partly to explore astrological interests, but also to explore my other interests, including Indian philosophy, poetry, music, meditation, healing and spiritual development.
This article is intended to examine the underlying Unity expressed in the Diversity of our world, as expressed in the teachings of the Upanishads."

Although this article is not strictly astrological, it does address the issue of the underlying unity and spiritual connection that is one of the ways that astrology can be seen to have a deep basis in nature.
Rob lives in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, on the east coast of Australia.
