Barry C. Orr, a writer and software consultant, was born a very long time ago in New Jersey.  With Bruce Scofield, he is co-author of How to Practice Mayan Astrology (Bear & Company, 2007), a book that attempts to reconstruct the astrological system of ancient Mesoamerica.  He and Scofield run the web site onereed.com, which offers online Maya-Aztec computer reports, books, and free divination services for the perplexed.

Barry was a member of a lively cabal of astrologers that existed at Rutgers University in the 1970s, where he received a degree in English Literature.  Currently, he is vice president of the Astrological Society of Princeton, NJ, and writes for a variety of astrological publications.  His other interests include Discordianism, the philosophy of mind, and plumbing.
