Dear Friend and Reader:
I’m in the Omega Institute cafe — enough of the cafeteria for a while. Our “Demystifying Astrology” class is going beautifully. By the end of the second day, 15 people, most of whom never owned an ephemeris, were working out one another’s Chiron transits.
Today I did a theory class that covered the types of signs (cardinal, fixed and mutable), the Aries Point, and then the first four asteroids. We concluded the morning session today with a look at the Sagittarius New Moon conjunct Pluto and the Galactic Center.
I am discovering how much I love teaching. I’ve taught before, at conferences and seminars; writing is a form of teaching; but I’ve never been given a forum like this, to work in a top-level center in a structured environment where people have traveled, planned to be here, most of them older than me.
It’s time for lunch — I’ll check back in the next chance I get.
