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.

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

Like a shooting star, the collective enthusiasm of over 20 local astrologers and astrology students launched Sacramento Area Astrologers (SAA) on Oct. 17. SAA’s first meeting at Planet Earth Rising in Folsom was facilitated by Joyce Mason, who jokingly calls herself the CEO (Catalyst, Enthusiast, and Organizer). The creation of this group of amazing astro-colleagues went from idea to reality in less than a month.
“I just answered a tap on the shoulder from Spirit,” she said. The meeting minutes are available for those who join the SAA e-mail list.
Joyce said later about the first meeting, “The desire for astrological community has been strong and underground for years since Cheshire Rose Books in Fair Oaks closed in the early 2000s and with it, our local chapter of the National Council of Geocosmic Research (NCGR). Anything that has been underground surfaces stronger and more ready for action.”
And here we are. One thing agreed upon at the meeting was to start this blog and create a hub concept, a central location where information can be accessed about astrology classes, events, and meetings in the greater Sacramento region.
If you have an astrological event, please contact Joyce (info in sidebar) to be included in this blog.
One of the ironies was that the first meeting of SAA coincided with the 43rd anniversary of the opening of the musical Hair: The American Tribal Love Rock Musical. Hair made astrology and “the dawning of the Age of Aquarius” household words. See The Chart of Hair – Why We Should Care for more on how Hair relates to our times and tribe.
Meanwhile, if what we’re doing sounds exciting to you, please join our mailing list and come to a meeting!
