If you ask me (which you are implicitly doing by continuing to read this) the best thing you can do to improve your skills at chart reading is to put down the books and start actually reading charts.

To “read” a chart doesn’t mean that you know every single thing about it and can tell when the person had their first kiss or is going to die. To read a chart means to look at it. Accept your skill set at your current level and approach the chart with an open mind. Let your eyes wander over the lines. Stop and think about the placements and any personal connections you have to the chart you are reading.

So far we’ve had a Lion Tamer, A Somnambulist, A Love song, A Juggler, A Girl Sawed in Half and A Fat Lady.

And that’s not even a fraction of what we have coming!

Plus we have over 60 additional topics of conversation open with more added every day. It’s a private forum which means your posts can’t be searched by nosy family members or co-workers. So people are a little more open with their juiciest stories.

$45 gets you access to all this plus you can volunteer your own chart for a reading. Of course you are also welcome to join us and just lurk if that’s more your style.

Satori and I are starting another class in the Colosseum. That’s the private message board that we use for workshops, special events and such.

This one is going to be a 3 month extravaganza of chart reading as each chart is treated as a performance piece with the owner as the star. Chart submission is voluntary but totally worth it.

You not only get a reading from one of us, but the chart will be open to members of the class for comments. In the end you get a full spectrum of readings from multiple perspectives. Plus you get to give your opinions of other charts in the class as well.

Just so we’re all on our game, I’m posting a Review of our Intro to Chart Reading Workshop. This will give you an idea of what we like to do while you brush up on your skills.

1. The Sun

2. The Moon.

3. The Ascendant.

4. Elements.

5. Qualities (or Modes)

6. Degrees.

7. Aspects.

8. Aspects continued – Sun meets moon.

9. Rising Planets.

10. Putting it all Together.

This is a very common beginning astrology question. The querent often thinks he or she is asking an innocent question regarding compatibility. What they do not realize is that this line of questioning, when presented to a thoughtful and honest astrologer* will lead them to the precipice of a new conception of astrology.

One of the perks of being on the staff here is I get a transit report from Elsa. Now, as someone who does this for a living I don’t particularly need a transit report. I know how to look this stuff up myself. But, Sun Saturn I can do it my own self ego issues aside, I was happy to get it and here’s why:

#1 – It’s all right there for me. I am a tired person. I have a little baby and stuff to do. Yes, I know how to find my transits. But it’s the time that it would take to do the leg work that I am having trouble finding. This was fast. Bam! In my email. Done. It’s the astrological version of the wash n’ fold.
