Introduction to Chiron with Eric Francis, NYC March 26
Dear Friend and Reader:
On March 26 I will be teaching a version of my Introduction to Chiron class at Nightlight Astrology in New York City. This is a four-hour version of the class I've taught at Omega Institute and other venues. This note includes a rundown of the class, as well as some links to resources for everyone. The rest of this post includes a couple of other announcements for you.
Chiron is often misunderstood as a point that is "read" in a chart like any other. That is possible, though Chiron is more useful when seen as part of a dynamic process that cycles throughout the lifetime.
I will teach the theory behind, and demonstrate, the technique that I've developed to understand your Chiron journey or those of your clients. When working with others, this will help you understand them well enough to actually have a useful exchange devoted to their healing. It's a way of revealing the energy behind the apparent layer of the chart.
If you're working with your own astrology, you'll get a window into a whole level of your development process: how you experience life, learn from those experiences and gradually awaken to full awareness. This process allows you to see how a chart -- yours or anyone else's -- works in reality, not just in theory.
In the spirit of the current Mercury retrograde, what I am teaching is primarily a listening process, which happens in a special session devoted to that purpose. Deep listening helps build trust, gives you a sense of your client's inner world, and allows time for your intuition to understand the challenges another person is facing (which is challenging).
With that foundation, astrology can have a truly beneficial influence on the client -- though the astrologer must be prepared for unexpectedly deep emotional, spiritual or psychological material to arise. I will go over how to handle that as well. In terms of technique, this is a fairly simple process -- deceptively so, given the results that it can get.
The class is on a sliding scale of $30 to $60 and will take place from noon till 4 pm on Monday, March 26, 2012. To sign up, contact Adam Elenbaas at Nightlight Astrology by emailing
nightlightastrology@gmail.com.
I describe the process in the article
When Astrology Listens. If you would like a basic introduction to Chiron, try this article from
Small World Stories. Just to remind you, I still have available a 12-sign audio on
Chiron in Pisces (2010-2019).
Participants in the class will need to print this file, which is a
100-year Chiron ephemeris. This gives the position of Chiron monthly, which is often enough for most purposes.

'Evolve 2012 Initiative' Focuses on Financial Stability in the 2012 Era
Lev Nathan has created a four-week speaker series on the theme of entrepreneurship in the 21st century. More and more people are "going it alone," as the business models of society change and technology allows for more freedom. This is a four-week series that begins Monday. The cost is $72 for the whole program, which includes call-ins and the ability to listen to recordings online. The program features numerous speakers who are outlined on the
website for the project. There are integration sessions and facilitated conversations using the Vistar Method for Evolutionary Circles. I am one of the presenters in the program, which is in the form of a one-hour interview about creating your own business amidst the rapidly changing times in history.
Pisces 2012 Extended Birthday Report Ready
Dear Friend and Reader:
It's not too late to order the 2012 extended
Pisces audio birthday report. I just started doing these in 2010, and this completes the first full run of all 12 signs. In addition to Pisces Sun, it will also provide good guidance for those with Pisces rising and Moon -- and it makes a great gift for any Pisces whose birthday you may have missed. The presentation is one hour of astrology in two sections, plus a 20-minute tarot reading. (
Capricorn and
Aquarius are also still available. Note, if you have an
All Access pass, it works for each of these reports.)

In this report I cover the recent arrival of Neptune and Chiron in your sign, and describe the energetic shifts of having these two distinguished, slow-moving points in your sign for the foreseeable future (Chiron till 2019 and Neptune until 2025). My intent with this reading is to help you orient on the new quality that you're likely to experience both as an inner journey and as many shifts in your outer environment. This report both elaborates on the Reality Check annual edition and enters new territory.
These are deep influences that will, over time, transform your life and your perception of yourself. They're distinctly different from the energy of Uranus in Pisces, which ended one year ago, after seven years.
Chiron and Neptune in your sign will help you bring out your true nature, and establish a kind of inner contact that you may have read about in books on spirituality. Yet there is a cautionary note: Neptune in Pisces will influence you to exist in a world apart. Fortunately, the realistic, high-focus energy of Chiron in your sign for the next seven years will provide an access point to both your quest and your healing mission.
I also take a close look at Mars retrograde in your opposite sign Virgo, which is leading you to rethink the way you do your relationships and the role that others have in your life. The retrograde is an extended question that will help you make decisions about what you want, what is appropriate and how to arrange your boundaries. What's beautiful is the sense of inner strength that you can now bring to the table; the feeling of substance and a new measure of stability, regardless of what others are going through.
I also look at the Uranus-Pluto square as it will influence your financial dimension of existence -- both planets are passing through different sectors of your chart associated with money and the flow of resources. The revolution of this aspect is how you think of, acquire and use all forms of material resources.
There is more; no need to go into it here. The reading comes with resources including the Pisces ingress chart, a photo of the tarot spread, and access to the 2011 annual (Light Bridge) for Pisces, so you can review certain factors from the recent past that may have a bearing on your life now.
Here is the
link to order. The fee for this product is $19.95 including everything, with unlimited access (it never expires) and you can download the audio sections as an archive so you can listen in iTunes.
Lovingly, your Pisces astrologer
Introducing the Planet Waves 2012 Spring Audio Report

Donna
"Whoa, I just listened to the Aries and Aquarius reports, and was blown away. I've been feeling this for a while but now it's coming in loud and clear. Can't wait to see how it all manifests, right now it's all in motion. Get ready to rock and roll."
Thanks,

Dear Friend and Reader:
Spring 2012 is the wildest season I've ever seen in 18 years of doing around-the-clock astrology [listen to
short audio preview here]. It fits the 2012 pattern of 'everything, all at once', even making that sound like an understatement. I am working on the report even as we edit this issue, and it's coming out beautifully -- every sign is coming through loud and clear and distinctive.
We have retrogrades of all three inner planets involved -- Mercury, Venus and Mars. There is a rare Venus transit of the Sun -- an exact conjunction of Venus and the Sun that you will be able to see if you have a clear view during daylight hours (you will need special equipment to protect your eyes). There are eclipses of the Sun and the Moon. And then, just four days after the Cancer solstice, we have the first exact square of Uranus and Pluto.
In honor of putting all this action to work for you, I've prepared a special Spring Report for all 12 Sun signs and rising signs, as well as an introduction to the astrology that will be useful to everyone. This is a package of all 12 signs for one price. I've designed it so that you can actually put many of the signs into use -- for example, Virgo will be able to use the Gemini report as a career reading. Pisces can use Virgo's report as a relationship reading, and so on. I give suggestions at the end of each sign, and include a detailed description so you can get maximum use from this product.
We are now offering all 12 signs for $24.95, which is still an incredible value for the depth and breadth of material offered. We're already getting rave reviews from customers who pre-ordered the report, two of which I've included above.
Here is the link to order. Thanks for signing up. Please let me know how you like it -- I had a lot of fun creating this report.
Lovingly,
