O. Barclay

Founded by Olivia Barclay in 1984, the Qualifying Horary Practitioner (QHP) was the first correspondence course to teach traditional methods as practiced by the famous seventeenth-century astrologer, William Lilly. It was Olivia’s original edition of Christian Astrology which facilitated the new edition by Regulus Publications in 1984. The astrological community, in the United Kingdom, indeed, in the world owes much to Olivia Barclay. The QHP was the very first horary course with representation on the Advisory Panel for Astrological Education (APAE) with graduates eligible for membership of the Association of Professional Astrologers International (APAI). Olivia Barclay bequeathed the QHP to Barbara Dunn in 2001, who subsequently updated and enhanced the content of the QHP, in order to cohere more closely with the requirements of the modern astrological practitioner.
