FEATURED PLANET: Moon
A June, Moon and Chart Interpretation Afternoon
Our June Sacramento Area Astrologers meeting is a two-fer on the astrological Moon (the Planet
of the Month), followed by a group interpretation of the natal chart of one of our members.
The Moon, Part 2
Apprentices of Astrologer Steven Forrest pick up where they left off last May in sharing their mentor’s wisdom about the Moon. Chet Zdrowski led Part 1. This time, Linda Byrd and Larry Landis share more about the orb that represents our feelings, instincts, moods—and many would say, the sweet side of life. Learn more about yourself by the light of the silvery Moon.
Larry Landis
Linda Byrd
Linda Byrd has been studying Astrology since the mid-80s and has incorporated it into her consulting practice for the past16 years, both for businesses and personal growth. As a “Certified Dream Coach” – a life coach for the soul – Astrology provides a shortcut, an invaluable map, to discover purpose and hidden sabotaging beliefs. She was with the Aspire Foundation for 10 years, an experiential workshop series based on Astrology, has studied with John Ruskell, Tom Lescher, Maurice Fernandez, and is part of Steven Forrest’s Apprenticeship program. She’s attended the UAC, NORWAC, NCGR,ISAR conferences. She loves astrology and is the current VP of our chapter.
Larry Landis: Not surprisingly, with both Venus and Mercury in Gemini, Larry’s interest in astrology began around 1990 when he somehow ran across Linda Goodman’s Love Signs. Noticing a huge correlation between all his relationships and the book’s descriptions, his curiosity was peaked. He was self taught for many years, accumulating many shelves of astrology texts, but began more formal training in 2001 with Tom Lescher and Steven Forrest. Larry has achieved Level II status in Steven Forrest’s Astrology Apprenticeship Program.
Chart Interpretation
Chart Interpretation
Join us in the second half with a group interpretation of one of our member’s charts. Larry Landis and Linda Byrd facilitate. Sharpen your chart interpretation skills and share your insights. With this month’s emphasis on the Moon, we’ll be placing a little more focus on the Moon and it’s Nodes. The presenters will share from the viewpoint of Steven Forrest’s “Evolutionary Astrology”, however, all perspectives are welcome in the conversation about the chart of our featured member.
Our personal chart will be one of our member’s. More information in our emailed newsletter.
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 felt the addition of this type of meeting in 2012 will serve 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
Here’s how it works: Each month, we’ll read one or two charts–a mundane chart and/or a personal one. Examples of mundane are any event or personality in the news, charts of cities or countries, etc. Personal chart readings will be limited to people on the NCGR-SAA mailing list. We will limit it to one reading a year per person unless there are unused slots. E-mail Joyce if you would like to propose a mundane topic or have your chart read in the group during the last remaining chart interpretation meeting in 2012 on October 28. The October personal reading slot if filled, and as of now, we plan to use the charts of the Presidential candidates for our mundane selections. However, we have a waiting list in case the first individual cancels or is unavailable for any reason. We are also maintaining a waiting list for future chart interpretation meetings in 2013.
* In 2012, all meetings will have a planetary theme. Chart readings will focus on this planet and will encompass as many other aspects of the chart as we have time to interpret.

Myth, Prophecy & the End of Time: Waiting for the Dawn of the Age of Aquarius
We currently stand at the Dawn of the Age of Aquarius. This New Covenant with heaven will bring with it a new vibration and a new attitude toward life. We are leaving behind a period of darkness and misunderstanding, of isolation and ignorance. The role of astrology will be carried by this celestial current to a new ascendancy, as the tide of time turns once again upon a new epoch. We’ll look at how the wise men of old viewed this cultural transformation as they then stood at the threshold of a new age.
This presentation will tie together the ‘End Time’ traditions of various cultures, looking specifically at some Greek Myths, Hindu, Norse, Native American and Mayan sources. For those versed in the various threads which weave the tales of time, there are similar textures which reappear, telling a consistent story. We will examine a few of these, and follow where they lead.

He holds a BA from the University of Massachusetts, where he graduated in 1976 Magna Cum Laude with a major in Classics, and a minor in Astrology in the Ancient World.

MARK DODICH
Making the Most of Mercury Retrograde
Sunday, April 28, 2013
1:00-3:30 pm
FEATURED SIGN: TAURUS *
~~~
Lecture Details
When astrologers want to prove that astrology works to non-astrologers, it is common practice to have them watch personal and global events during the next Mercury Retrograde cycle. This is an effective real life demonstration, but it can have a negative result. “Oh no, not another Mercury Retrograde!” is a common reaction. But there is so much more to Mercury than your car or computer giving you anxiety attacks.
Join us to learn about taking advantage of Mercury retrograde. We shall look at shadow periods, connections between the three retrograde each year, its effect on individual & business natal charts, and much more. Because Mark never passes up a chance to bring esoteric astrology into his talks, we shall also look at the higher, spiritual vibration of Mercury and this year’s retrograde cycles. Mark has Virgo rising, so you are certain to take home useful information.
Mark Dodich
Mark Dodich has been a professional astrologer and intuitive counselor since 1980. His New Year’s Astrology talk in Portland typically brings in 150 people, bringing in a wide mixture ranging from non-astrologers to professionals. He is regularly seen and heard in the media, and has a busy international practice based in Portland, Oregon. Mark specializes in Relocation Astrology and spiritual purpose Seven Ray Esoteric Astrology consultations. He leads metaphysical tours to sacred places with Turkey coming up in spring 2014.

* In 2013, all meetings will have a zodiac sign theme. Group chart interpretations will focus on this sign and will encompass as many other aspects of the chart as we have time to discuss. (more…)

The ancient Sumerians created the Zodiac, and they used a certain technique that is still visible today. The important question is how they did it—a question this presentation will answer.
The same people then created the Major Arcana of the Tarot, again using the same technique. Much later, the Jews inherited knowledge from the Chaldeans, who got it from the Sumerian, and with that information, they constructed the Kabbalah.
The story doesn’t end there. This knowledge spread out across the ancient world and created other forms still used today. Learn about the history and interrelatedness of these forms of divination and guidance.
David Kincaid
David Kincaid is a member of NCGR and began his astrological journey in 1964 when he found his first serious book, Dane Rudhyar’s The Astrology of Personality. “I spent the next two years reading the first half of that book. It formed my understanding. I’ve never had a teacher beyond the basics, my learning was from within. Gaining my present understanding required a forty-year contemplation of the possible relationship between the Zodiac, the Major Arcana, and the Chakra system. Now I understand how this system works and what gave rise to all of it. That will be the subject of this talk.” David can be reached at dkincaid22@comcast.net.

Our mundane or non-personal chart this month is the chart of our organization, NCGR-Sacramento Area Astrologers. We will focus on the “rebirthday” chart, the chart for the moment we rechartered this organization with NCGR on March 21, 2011 at 11:22 AM. (Thanks, again, to Linda Kaye for finding us this perfect electional time! And to our treasurer and personal mail carrier, Larry Landis, for posting it at the exact moment.) For those who wish to compare it to the original chart of NCGR- Sacramento, the first incarnation of our group, see NCGR-Sacramento Original Chart.
Our personal chart will be member Carolyn Relei’s. More information in our emailed newsletter.
