a series of workshops

Transits
For most astrologers, the preferred method of forecasting. Positions of planets in their current cycles are interpreted as influencing those in the natal chart.
Solar Return Charts
The new chart you get every birthday. Believed to indicate the overall trends for the coming year.
Secondary Progressions
A symbolic form of forecasting where the natal chart ‘unfolds’ at the rate of one day per year. Often used as a tool to interpret internal shifts rather than external events.
Solar Arc Directions
The position of planets and points in the natal chart are moved forward at the rate of the Secondary Progressed Sun. A forecasting method trusted by many astrologers for picking up the timing of major life events.
Synastry
Using chart comparison in the study of a relationship – whether personal or business. Learn how two people support one another or “push each other’s buttons”.
The Composite Chart
A symbolic chart created by the midpoints of planets from the charts of two people. Seen as a chart that describes the essence of the relationship as a unit unto itself.
