Online Beginning Astrology Class   
 
The next session of Online Beginning Astrology Class runs on Wednesdays from Jan. 6 thru Feb. 10, Noon-2 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 $150 --satisfaction guaranteed or your money back! 

-----------------------------------------------
 
Online Transits & Progressions Class
 
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 on Mondays, Jan. 4 thru Feb. 8, Noon - 2 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 $175 --
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.
 
-------------------------------------------------



Finally, Online Mentoring Class resumes Jan. 4, and will meet most Mondays from 3-5 pm US Eastern time. This class gives participants an opportunity to significantly deepen their understanding of astrology in an intimate small-group setting.

Classes are in a flexible Q&A format, with specific topics and chart examples contributed by the mentees.

And if group classes aren't your style, Benjamin always offers private mentoring to help you deepen your astrological wisdom.

Celestial Forecast for Dec. 28, 2009 - Jan. 3, 2010
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.

1/28, 11:49 pm - 1/29, 9:11 am (Leo)
1/31, 1:27 am - 8:24 am (Virgo)
1/1, 10:44 am - 9:42 pm (Leo)
1/3, 4:56 pm - 9:54 pm (Virgo)

12/28 (Mon). Relationship transformation, sexuality and extreme creativity are potentiated by an intense Venus-Pluto conjunction. Its placement in Capricorn is also ideal for making money! 

12/29 (Tue). Poor Venus just can't catch a break: yesterday she conjuncts Pluto, and today she squares Saturn! Venus-Saturn squares are well-known for bringing relationship challenge, but they also give you a chance to face and resolve any unresolved issues. If this process is successful, then Saturn can give a relationship a more stable foundation, or - to continue the construction metaphor - even add a new room onto the house! 

12/31 (Thu). 2009 ends with a bang, with a LUNAR ECLIPSE that's also December's second FULL MOON. It occurs today at 2:12 pm (10°14' Cancer). This eclipse is like a Full Moon on steroids, and, like all eclipses, its effects could last up to a year.

This one asks how "full-filled" you are in your home life, emotional expression and happiness. Other themes include transformation or release of relationships that are not promoting your personal evolution (Moon opposing Venus), and embracing those who do not seek to control you, but serve as positive catalysts (Moon opposing Pluto). In addition, the Moon-Saturn square asks who is holding the authority cards in your life. If they're not in your hand, they're going to be played by someone else!

ALL MONTH: Throughout January and February (and peaking on 1/31), a Saturn-Pluto square asks us to release all structures that have outlived their usefulness. If in doubt, throw it out!

1/1. Your business affairs could be creatively energized by Uranus quintiling the Capricornian Sun. Following your intuitive flashes is the key!

1/3. Your creative muse should be singing loud and clear with Venus quintile Uranus. And Venus' placement in Capricorn should give you the gumption to get the creative work done!
