Lecture and Workshop Event
Frank Clifford
May 22, 2016
Lecture: 10 a.m – 12 noon
Polarity Picture Show
Workshop: 1 p.m. – 5 p.m.
New Ways of Relating
Featured Sign: Gemini
Due to the renovations on our clubhouse not yet being complete, we will be meeting at the Light Weavers Academy, 8421 Auburn Blvd, Ste 150, Citrus Heights, CA 95610, Map
MORNING LECTURE
The Polarity Picture Show
Frank will take you on a visual tour of the six pairs of opposite signs, and consider what they share, how they differ, and what they can teach each other.
AFTERNOON WORKSHOP
New Ways of Relating: Understanding the In-Depth Dynamics of Sign Combinations for Natal, Synastry and Forecasting Work
One of the most important steps in chart interpretation is understanding the dynamics between the zodiac signs. Grasping the essence of the signs and their points of similarity and difference are the keys to successful natal, forecasting and synastry work. Some connections are easy to spot, such as the freedom-focused, future-orientated duo of Sagittarius and Aquarius, or the home, hearth, gardens and cuisine combo of Cancer and Taurus. But what of Leo and Capricorn? Cancer and Libra? Aries and Virgo?
In truth, every pairing has themes in common, as well as components that don’t easily fall into place, but pinpointing the “heart” of its connection – the essence of its relationship – often requires further detective work. With many chart examples, we’ll spend the day learning to suss out and articulate the dynamics between the signs – how they can really work with each other – so bring along your own charts and stories, too.

Lecture and Workshop Event
Chris Brennan
April 3, 2016
Lecture: 10 a.m – 12 noon
Interpreting the Rulers of the Houses and Timing Their Activation
Workshop: 1 p.m. – 5 p.m.
Timing Peaks and Transitions in Your Career, Health, and Relationships
Featured Sign: Aries
LOCATION CHANGE for this event: Due to the renovations on our clubhouse not yet being complete, we will be meeting at the Light Weavers Academy, 8421 Auburn Blvd, Ste 150, Citrus Heights, CA 95610, Map
MORNING LECTURE
Interpreting the Rulers of the Houses and Timing Their Activation
One of the keys to chart delineation is learning how to interpret the rulers of the 12 houses when they are in different houses. For example, what does it mean when the ruler of the 7th house is in the 11th house, or when ruler of the 10th is in the 9th? In this lecture attendees will learn how to interpret these placements, as well as how to identify when the topics associated with them will become activated at specific times in the life of the native by using a timing technique known as annual profections.
AFTERNOON WORKSHOP
Timing Peaks and Transitions in Your Career, Health, and Relationships
In this workshop you will learn how to time peak periods and transitions in a person’s career and life direction by using an ancient timing technique known as Zodiacal Releasing (ZR). This technique was only recently rediscovered through the translation of a 2nd century text, and it is quickly becoming recognized as one of the most powerful and effective predictive techniques available today.
Attendees will receive a detailed handout with their own periods (if pre-registered by March 27), and they will learn how to use the technique to determine high and low points in their career, as well as periods in which job changes are more likely. Later we will discuss how the technique can also be applied to other topics such as health and relationships.
TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THIS WORKSHOP:
Chris recommends that you compile a chronology of important events and turning points in your life, primarily with respect to career and overall life direction. This will come in handy as you learn the technique at the workshop. Even if you don’t have a chance to write out a full chronology, at least spend some time thinking about your past and try to construct an outline of some of the most important events in your life so far.

Esoteric Astrology:
An Introduction
Marie O’Neill
February 28, 2016
1 p.m. – 4 p.m.
Featured Sign: Pisces
LOCATION CHANGE for this event: Due to the renovations on our clubhouse not yet being complete, we will be meeting in downtown Roseville at the Holistic Lighthouse – 401B Vernon St.
As a student of Evolutionary Astrology under the tutelage of Steven Forrest and Esoteric Astrology under the tutelage of Alan Oken – I have found that both systems complement each other. In Evolutionary Astrology we look to Pluto and the Nodes, using a psychological approach to tell us what our wounds are, where they came from and the hurdles we must traverse to heal. As Steven Says” “Everything in the chart is about integration.”
Esoteric Astrology focuses on the purpose of the soul through planetary rulerships and the seven rays. Therefore, the natal chart is delineated from a Soul Centered perspective – showing us our Soul or Higher Mind’s intention concerning how we are to contribute to the evolution of humanity. It is a system that not only shows you what your Soul’s intent is, but also gives you the Souls highest potential in a given incarnation. After you have evolved to a certain point, your traditional chart feels like who you were. The rulers of the chart no longer represent who you are.
Esoteric Astrology is a system to be used in conjunction with other systems; it is the icing on the cake, so to speak. This system gives each of us the goal of our lives – along with the road map to reach it.
The purpose of this talk is to introduce you to Esoteric Astrology. The focus will be on the esoteric meanings of each sign; the esoteric planetary rulers; and the seven rays that give the planets their energy along with sample chart readings.
Marie O’Neill (MBA) is the founder of Padma Life Coaching located in Santa Rosa California. Her specialties are: Astrology, Past Life Regression, Life Coaching and Tarot. Marie’s studies in astrology began more than 13 years ago, shortly after her first reading with an astrologer. Marie says “He knew things about me that he should not have known and I wanted to know – how he obtained this information.” After years of study – attending lectures, workshops, reading and erecting charts; Marie added ‘Evolutionary Astrologer’ to her tool chest – becoming certified through Steven Forrest’s Apprenticeship Program. In 2012 Marie began studying Esoteric Astrology with Alan Oken, as her mentor. She has found it to be a beneficial addition to her tool chest of skills. Marie believes – one can never know all there is to know about any subject and therefore, considers herself a life-long student. For information on services Marie offers go to: www.padmalifecoaching.com. You can also find her on the social media sites under: Padma Life Coaching.

Experiential Astrology
Linda Byrd
AND CHART INTERPRETATION
Sunday, June 28, 2015, 1:00 – 4:00 pm
FEATURED PLANET*: Moon
Learning Astrology is usually a left brained activity. We show up, take copious notes and then try to remember what we learned. THIS WORKSHOP IS DIFFERENT! You will be involved in getting to know yourself through the lens of Astrology, from a feeling perspective. Find out what’s lurking in your psyche, shed light on and address what Steven Forrest so eloquently states as a fundamental issue we all face.
“Who we really are is in conflict with our social conditioning. The psyche demands resolution of this schism and the resolution is typically quite dramatic. There is resentment regarding other people’s expectations and a desire to avoid being defined by them. The universe is asking us exactly what price we’ll pay for honesty, integrity and freedom. ” ~Steven Forrest
While understanding is part of the solution, engaging feelings gives a deeper level of awareness and the key to freedom! Depending on how much time we have, these are some of the questions we will be addressing:
- When you act like this, what are you avoiding?
- How do you want people to perceive you? Why?
- What makes you most happy? Experience your tribe!
- What inner voice holds you back?

Special Two-Part Event
Frank Clifford
February 22, 2015
Lecture: 10 a.m – 12 noon
Jupiter: It’s Too Much – But Is It Enough?
Workshop: 1 p.m. – 5 p.m.
The Rhythms of Your Life: Honing Your Forecasting Skills
Lecture and Workshop Details
LECTURE: Jupiter: It’s Too Much – But Is It Enough?
Jupiter reveals how and where we’re blessed – so much so that we can inspire others with its message. But can Jupiter be too much of a good thing? Frank will look at the charts of people with a prominent Jupiter to gauge its wide range of expression in temperament and manifestation. From the evangelist and guru to the con artist, from the philanthropist to the diva, we’ll examine the various exemplary and sinister sides to the Greater Benefic.
WORKSHOP: The Rhythms of Your Life: Honing Your Forecasting Skills
As consultant astrologers, rather than using forecasting tools to make firm predictions, we do our best work when we articulate the processes that can take place under various transits, progressions or directions. If you’ve ever been daunted or overwhelmed by forecasting, this seminar will offer a number of tools (including ‘Define and Connect’) to simplify the process of interpreting upcoming trends, and Frank will address a number of factors to take into consideration. Along the way, he’ll introduce you to the most reliable and accurate forecasting tool, Solar Arc Directions, and show you how to use these simply and effectively to achieve maximum results. You’ll be amazed!
Lunch Options
Between the lecture and workshop, we’ll provide a light, catered lunch available at a modest contribution of $10. Lunch will be light as many of you will want to join us to take Frank out at the Yard House for dinner after the workshop. You are also welcome to bring your own lunch, if you prefer. Sign up for lunch and or make your reservation for dinner below.

Frank is offering consultations on Monday, Feb. 23
An astro-palmistry consultation in person lasts 90 mins, is recorded for you (on MP3), costs $180, and will take place at Frank’s hotel (details can be emailed). Frank looks at your hands and horoscope and also considers the next year or so ahead. He doesn’t tell you ‘what’s going to happen’ or tell you ‘what to do’; it is an opportunity to look at your character, needs, drives, as well as your current path – and/or to look at a specific area of your life. It is not about ‘predictions’. With context, you can work with Frank to look at where you’re at, where you want to go and what you need – and he will look at what the hands and horoscope have to say about these things. Frank also practises Electional Astrology (electing the best start time for a venture) and Locational Astrology (the most fortuitous places to be in America or worldwide). Before arriving, have a think about what you would like to discuss and come with questions because 90 mins goes quickly! Email Frank at [email protected] to sign up!
And, last but not least, Frank has sent three articles for your reading pleasure:
