2013 Membership Scholarship
We understand that the economy is recovering slowly, and we recognize that attending our meetings may be stretching your budget, especially if you’re not an NCGR member, so to ease that strain, we have created a scholarship that will pay for your NCGR membership. That way you can enjoy the many member benefits, including attending our meetings at member prices.
The 2013 membership scholarship offers its recipient(s) a paid membership to NCGR. Not only will you receive NCGR publications, you’ll get the member discount at NCGR-SAA events. Most NCGR chapters offer their discount to all NCGR members, regardless of chapter affiliation.
Silent Art Auction – Works of Arne Trettevik
Silent Art Auction
Visionary Paintings of a Mystic Traveler
SELECTED PAINTINGS OF ARNE TRETTEVIK
Final Auction date, September 22, 2013
You may wonder about the paintings you have seen displayed at our meetings. Our member, Carolyn Relei, has gifted us with an incredible opportunity to own works of the late astrologer and spiritual artist, Arne Trettevik. Arne spent much time at Esalen Institute with other consciousness pioneers and/or astrologers including Stanislaus Grof and Richard Tarnas and was known to carry an ephemeris under his arm. Carolyn has been the keeper of numerous pieces of Arne’s work for many years and felt ready to share them and find good homes for them with people who would appreciate their context and beauty. She has donated them to NCGR-SAA and all proceeds of a nine-month Silent Auction will benefit our education programs. (more…)
August 25, 2013: Doug Noblehorse – Quincunx & Lots
Quincunx and Lot of Fortune
DOUG NOBLEHORSE
Quincunx / Inconjunct
& Lots of Fortune and Spirit
Sunday, August 25, 2013
1:00-3:30 pm
FEATURED SIGN: Virgo*
~~~
Lecture Details
In honor of Hermes (aka Mercury) and his ingress into the Virgin (aka Virgo) we present a fresh investigation into two disparate facets of the astrological system, the first being the quincunx/inconjunct aspect and the second being the Lots (aka Parts) of Fortune and Spirit.
The Quincunx and Inconjunct Aspects: What to Do When You Can’t Get the Job Done by Yourself!
All of the major aspects in your horoscope ideally find resolution through give-and-take, negotiation and the recognition and appreciation of common ground – sextiles share a common gender, squares share modalities, trines partake of the same element and oppositions share gender and modalities. But what do you do when you encounter the quincunx and its sibling the inconjunct in your chart? These minor major or major minor (with apologies to Catch-22!) aspects share absolutely nothing in common! How do you find common ground where there is no common ground? This talk explores the history and original perception of the modern quincunx/inconjunct aspect, which reveals the resolution (coming from an unexpected corner of astrology) to this vexing paradox!
The Lots of Fortune and Spirit: 10 Things You Should Know About These Ancient Metaphysical Points in the Horoscope
This talk gives an overview of the astrological Lots of Fortune and Spirit, perhaps in the first case more familiarly known as the Part of Fortune. What are these points anyway? What do they mean? As ancient points, do they have any relevance to the modern world? And if so, how can they be interpreted and used in modern astrological interpretation? We’ll answer these questions and more, with the goal of deepening your understanding and forever changing your perception of these essential, fundamental features of the horoscope.

* In 2013, each meeting will have a featured sign for attendee introductions. So, besides your name, you can share (if you like) what planets you have in the planet of the month, what house it falls in and any major aspects. Since we have this valuable tool, it’s a fun way to get to know one another at a deeper level.

Chart Interpretation
Following the presentation we’ll be looking at the chart of one of our members.
IMPORTANT! Chart Interpretation Guidelines. Thank you for becoming familiar with the attached Guidelines for Chart Interpretation Meetings. It is extremely important, especially when looking at personal charts in a group, that we create an atmosphere of safety and non-judgment in helping others learn more about their astrological map. Another key concept is that the owner of the chart is the ultimate authority on what resonates to him or her. These concepts will “go without saying” for many of us, but we’re a group open to the public and individuals vary in their sensitivity to these issues. Thank you for reading the guidelines and following them.
About Chart Interpretation Meetings: Mastery of chart reading skills is where the rubber hits the road, transferring theory to practice in astrology. The Leadership Team feels this type of meeting serves many purposes:
- Sharpen our skills on what’s important in a chart reading
- Increase our chart synthesis skills
- Increase confidence in our interpretations
- Enjoy the support of others at all ends of the learning spectrum on chart reading in an environment of non-judgment and encouragement
- Get live practice or be the live recipient of pooled astrological knowledge

A "not to be missed" event with outstanding Evolutionary astrologer Maurice Fernandez is coming up in June! We are fortunate to once again have the wisdom and depth we always enjoy from Maurice's lectures and presentations.![]()
![]()
This presentation will focus on how each planet in our chart offers both risk and opportunity in our lives, and how we can grow from the experience of our trials. For example, though Pluto is associated with abandonment, we can use that to build trust; or with Uranus events we often feel fractured, and yet we can mend and re-engage with life. ![]()

Maurice will help us to indentify our particular vulnerabilities and also our own remedies. How wonderful and useful is that?!![]()

Open House in March, after a few Mercury retrograde sputters the day before, was as awesome as expected, and we had a great turnout! We had tarot readers, astro-dice readers, and chart readers, and, as you can see, lots of snacks!
The Open House is free admission to all at the beautiful Cooperative Extension at 4145 Branch Center Rd. in Sacramento, Ca. There will be book sales, readings, and a fun and basic workshop for all (bring your chart if you have it). See our webpage for any other details.
