About Me

Christopher Kevill is a neo-Vedic astrologer specializing in predictive astrology. Chris earned his M.A in Sociology from the University of California, Santa Cruz. He is currently completing his Ph.D in Sociology at the University of Toronto.

He first encountered Vedic astrology in 1996 through his mentor, the late Richard Houck. Famous for his predictive accuracy, Houck was an esteemed American astrologer who extended and adapted numerous facets of Vedic astrology for a Western audience. In the course of his apprenticeship, Chris learned many of Houck's unique forecasting techiques which translate the ancient wisdom of the Vedic system into a user-friendly and streamlined Western approach.

Chris has appeared on radio and written numerous articles for US and Indian astrology magazines.

His doctoral research concerns the development of astrology in the 20th century. Specifically, he is researching how astrology has negotiated its boundaries with science and in so doing, has been subject to the process of rationalization. He is also interested in relating the emergence of a range of new astrological practices with recent changes in contemporary society and culture. This includes accounting for the rise in popularity of Vedic and Hellenistic astrologies in the past 30 years. It is his contention that these changes can only be fully explained in terms of internal developments within the astrological community and in wider terms that include new social and cultural trends.
