Two Online Astrology Classes Start This Monday and Tuesday!

7 o clock The next session of Benjamin's Online Beginning Astrology Class runs for six weeks starting this Tuesday, Sept. 22 thru Oct. 27 from 1-3 pm US eastern time. You'll learn about modes, elements, planets, signs, houses, aspects, aspect patterns, chart integration and more - everything you need to start interpreting natal charts!

You get 12 hours of live, interactive online instruction, most of which will teach critical core concepts by interpreting the natal chart of one or more students. Tuition is just $125 -- satisfaction guaranteed or your money back!

-------------------------------------------------

The moving planets show when someone will be experiencing critical energy shifts that mark times of opportunity or challenge, and in what areas of life. Learn how to interpret them in Benjamin's Online Transits & Progressions Class. It runs for six weeks starting this Monday night, Sept. 21 thru Oct. 26, 8-10 pm US eastern time.
 
You'll learn how to give empowering explanations of the most important moving energies used by professional astrologers: transits and secondary progressions. There will be no lectures; instead, concepts will be taught by examining students' current transits and progressions.

You get 12 hours of live, lively, interactive online instruction for just $150 -- satisfaction guaranteed or your money back!
 
-------------------------------------------------

In both classes, students are welcome to try the first class free! Tuition is due only if the student chooses to continue.

Benjamin to Lecture for Asheville Friends of Astrology This Tuesday
Solar Return lecture

Benjamin will speak on "Integrating Solar Return Themes with Progressions & Transits" at the September 2009 meeting of the Asheville Friends of Astrology this Tuesday, Sept. 22 from 7 to 9 p.m. His presentation will be held in the Earth Fare Westgate Community Room, 66 Westgate Parkway in Asheville, NC. Admission is free; love offerings are welcome.

The lecture is appropriate for those who already have some experience working with natal charts and transits.

The Solar Return chart shows the moment, on or near each birthday, when the transiting Sun returns to its exact natal position. This chart shows important energy trends for the next 12 months, as well as optimal life areas to focus on during that time.

Using the charts of Barack Obama, Albert Einstein, Barry Bonds and Sean Penn, Benjamin's lively and informative PowerPoint presentation will show how to uncover and communicate the most critical life themes: the ones being emphasized by the Solar Return Chart and current transits and progressions.

Celestial Forecast for September 21-27, 2009
Green Zodiac
by Benjamin Bernstein

Whatever your sun sign, this forecast will help you choose how to best use the current astrological energies! Events are most powerful on the dates listed. However, their influence will be active for at least several days before and after. All dates and times are in the U.S. eastern time zone.


While everyone is affected by these global transits, you will be most powerfully impacted when moving planets activate natal planets and other sensitive points in your birth chart.

VOID-OF-COURSE MOONS. It's best to avoid starting important new projects or making major purchases during these times. "Business as usual" is the best strategy for these periods, which occur when the Moon has made its last major Ptolemaic aspect but has not yet moved into the next sign. Learn more about working with void-of-course Moons here.

9/22, 11:33p - 9/23, 7:43a (Sagittarius)
9/25, 10:16a - 6:19p (Capricorn)
9/27, 11:34p - 9/28, 7:07a (Aquarius)

9/22 (Tue). If you find today's Mercury-Saturn conjunction tipping you into gloomy thoughts, remember that this combination also empowers mental discipline. A simple "pivot" - noting the mental activity you don't want and choosing to focus on its positive opposite instead - can work wonders! This is also a good energy for doing business, since Mercury rules commerce and Saturn is all business, all the time!
            The Sun is in Libra today thru 10/22, radiating sociability, harmony and creativity.
 
9/23 (Wed). By choosing to embrace any needed transformation, you'll be right in sync with the energy of today's Sun-Pluto square. That transformation may include important relationships of all kinds, since the Sun is now in Libra.
        Unsure how to handle that big transformation opportunity? With Mercury opposing Uranus, your ability to receive the answer in a flash - an intuitive flash, that is - is unusually strong. If you aren't already skilled at this, my free divine writing exercise may help you "milk the sacred cow" for the answers you need!
        While a Mercury-Neptune quincunx can induce confusion and uncertainty, it can also beautifully open your mind to the ever-flowing waterfall of divine bliss and guidance. You can make this "adjustment" (the core meaning of a quincunx) simple by turning within and asking to receive the energy and information that will serve your highest need.
        Another quincunx, between Mars and Jupiter, could lead to ill-advised risk-taking, jumping into things too quickly, or interfamilial tensions (Mars is in Cancer). A robust workout or a romp in bed with your sweetheart will give Mars something better to do with all its extra energy!
 
9/24 (Thu). It's a magical day full of divine inspiration, with two biquintiles coming exact! The Mercury-Jupiter biquintile is great for writing and inspired thinking, while the Mars-Neptune combo is custom-made for activities that combine the physical and spiritual realms: ecstatic dance, tai chi/chi gung, yoga, and sacred sexuality.
 
By the way, there are no "missing" days in this forecast, or any other. If a day is not listed, it's because there are no major astrological events.
     If you want an even more detailed forecast, my "This Week in Astrology" podcast always opens with a deeper look at the coming week's cosmic weather.
