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

NICK DAGAN BEST
What’s Up, Uranus?
Following the Yellow Brick Tropical Zodiac
Sunday, March 24, 2013 – 1:00-3:30 pm
Pre-registration price: $20 NCGR members, $30 non-members (thru March 17)
Price at the door: $25 NCGR members, $35 non-members
FEATURED SIGN: ARIES *
~~~
Lecture Details
Highly fitting for this week’s Sun-Venus-Uranus conjunction in Aries, What’s Up, Uranus?, based on material from an upcoming book, is a look at the transit of Uranus through the twelve tropical signs over the last two centuries, focusing on biographical studies of various notable people and their respective Uranus conjunction and opposition transits to the natal Sun and/or Moon. The talk also includes a close study of key people and events during previous transits of Uranus through tropical Aries. If this story was The Wizard of Oz, then you might say Uranus is Dorothy and the tropical zodiac is a sort-of perpetual yellow brick road, replete with an overlapping series of adventures and challenges.

Workshop Details
Have you ever wondered how to best deal with certain friendships, romantic relationships, or even business partnerships? During this lively workshop, participants will learn how to examine and exalt human relationships through the use of simple synastry, composite charts, and a little TLC!

Andrea Gehrz
In its most basic uses, Astrology can be used to help understand our web of human relationships. In fact, Astrology can provide endless insight into how to best love those around us! Unlike any other study in existence, Astrology can be used to examine the emotional, mental, and practical landscape of any type of merging between two individuals. During this afternoon, we will turn the tables on fate and begin the art of uplifting ourselves through the manifestation of positive vibrational relationships. Participants will learn how to avert possible relationship disaster by checking theoretical composite charts, strengthen areas of weakness through intentional compositing, and to partner up with those people who will advance our life emotional, spiritually, materially, etc.
Students are encouraged to bring charts to be used as examples. All questions will be rendered from the “personal to the public” in order to teach to the entire group!

The Signs: A Deeper Exploration
with Chet Zdrowski
Six week class: January 15, 22, 29, February 5, 12, 19, 2013
We will take a deep dive into all of the signs of the zodiac to learn the essence, nuances, and message of each.
Each sign has an agenda, a reason for being, and a set of values and needs. When we understand these, we gain insight into the deeper motivations that shape behavior and the strategies used to grow and find happiness.
- The first four classes will cover the signs of each of the seasons.
1) Spring-Aries, Taurus, Gemini
2) Summer-Cancer, Leo, Virgo
3) Autumn-Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius
4) Winter-Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces
- In the last two classes we will look at the pairs of opposites, and how they need each other to grow and evolve.
5) Aries-Libra, Taurus-Scorpio, Gemini-Sagittarius
6) Cancer-Capricorn, Leo-Aquarius, Virgo-Pisces
We will use examples from the charts of class members to illustrate the principles being discussed. This class expands on the content of Astrology Basics for Fun! class, but there is no prerequisite – just your investigative mind.
CLASS PREPARATION
Please bring your astrology chart with you or provide your birth information at or before the first class so a chart can be prepared for you. This is one of the learning instruments for the class. No books are required.

Vesta and Chart Interpretation
Vesta: A Goddess Revisited
and Chart Interpretation (Aquarius*)
Facilitated by Larry Landis
Sunday, January 27, 2013
1:00-3:00 pm
$5- NCGR/SAA Members
$15 – Nonmembers
The asteroid Vesta was recently visited by the NASA spacecraft Dawn, so as we slowly learn more about the physical nature of Vesta, the principle of “As Above, So Below” infers that our understanding of the astrological nature of Vesta will also increase.
After a brief introduction into the discovery of the four Goddess asteroids (Ceres, Vesta, Juno and Pallas Athene) in the early 1800’s and the consequential reintroduction of the feminine into modern astrology, we will concentrate on the brightest of the four, Vesta. We will begin by looking at the original mythological story about Vesta and how that translates into modern astrology, using the seminal work by Demetra George and Douglas Bloch, Asteroid Goddesses, as a starting point.
