How to Speak Astrology*
(*Despite Years of Lessons)
Learn how to interpret any natal chart and become fluent in the language of Astrology—all from the comfort of your home or office! These classes will include multi-media presentation materials, downloadable handouts, live video and audio (you'll be able to see me teaching), and real-time participation, including audio and video of the students. All that will be required is a broadband internet connection (capable of handling streaming audio and video), and a web cam and microphone (if you want to be able to interact with the class), and a computer with Adobe Flash Player installed. And if you can't make a live class, you can watch the whole class via streaming video! (Watch a sample class here!)
The course will be divided into three units of 4 classes each, for a total of 12 90-minute classes. The live classes will be held on Mondays at 6 p.m. Pacific Time, beginning on January 16, 2012. [Find your local time here.]

Introduction to Essential Dignities Class
Essential Dignities are the heart and soul of Classical Astrology, but very few astrologers understand how to work with them in a modern context. Essential Dignities evaluate the strength of a planet in a given sign, and while this score is extremely important in Horary and Electional astrology, it's not very useful when it comes to natal chart interpretation.
In this workshop, you will discover how you can work with Essential Dignities to unlock the secrets of any natal chart. Instead of focusing on the "score" of a planet, you'll learn how to look to the “Board of Directors” for guidance. The result? You'll be able to effortlessly come up with detailed, specific, focused, practical interpretations of any planet in any sign.
