Last Chance for Classes!
No, it's not too late to get in on the current round of Benjamin's online astrology classes. But you have to act now! Online Beginning Astrology Class
The start date of Online Beginning
Astrology Class has been delayed until this Wednesday. (We need just one more student for it to make!) The class will now run
on
Wednesdays from Jan. 13 thru Feb. 17, Noon-2 pm US
eastern time. You'll learn about modes, elements, planets, signs, houses, aspects, 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
We had our first class meeting on January 4, but there's still time for you to listen to the recording and catch up. However, you must attend the second class meeting this Monday, Jan. 11 to join this round.
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 has resumed, 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. You can drop in for individual classes, but you save 25% by signing up a month at a time!
And if group classes aren't your style, Benjamin always offers private mentoring, in person or by phone and web, to help you deepen your astrological wisdom.

Celestial Forecast for January 11-17, 2010
 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.
1/12, 9:44 pm - 11:55 pm (Capricorn)
1/15, 4:03 am - 12:18 pm (Aquarius)
1/17, 9:11 pm - 11/18, 1:18 am (Pisces)
1/11 (Mon).
A Sun-Venus conjunction in Capricorn makes it easier to take a realistic
look at relationships, creativity and finance. Special inspiration may also come
your way around business matters, with Jupiter biquintiling Saturn.
1/13 (Wed).
Intuitive flashes of all sorts should flow easily, especially around
relationships and creativity (Venus and the Sun sextile Uranus).
Saturn is retrograde
today thru May 30. He'll be backing through Libra thru April 7, asking us to
reflect on how solid our foundations are in our key relationships, creativity
and finances. The rest of his retrograde, in Virgo, is a good time to
reality-check our habits and systems, as well as how effective and productive
we're being in our daily work and service to others.
1/15 (Fri).
A solar
eclipse/New Moon occurs
today at 2:11 AM (25° Capricorn). Solar eclipses are like New Moons on steroids,
with effects lasting up to a year. With this one, focus on new beginnings in
career, reputation and life purpose. Also take a look at relationships to make
sure they're practical and productive (Moon conjunct Venus in Capricorn),
and vow to renew your dedication to fulfilling your higher life purpose (Moon conjunct North
Node). The final eclipse aspect (Moon sextile Uranus) should make it
easier to stay attuned to your intuitive flashes.
The Sabian
Symbol for this event is "A
nature spirit dancing in the iridescent mist of a waterfall." At first blush
it might seem strange that such a blatantly Piscean image is associated with a
Capricornian degree. However, in the transformed world we are now evolving into,
conscious awareness of supernatural phenomena will be widespread, and will have
eminently practical applications. At the very least, let this image inspire you
to keep your sense of wonder, imagination and playfulness alive.
Mercury goes
direct at 11:52 am,
clearing the way for the initiation of important projects and new ventures. But
if you're one of those cautious types who prefers Mercury to be clear of its
retrograde shadow, your green light day will be Feb. 3.
1/17 (Sun). Jupiter
enters Pisces today - a
rather big deal, since Jupiter's average stay in any given sign lasts about a
year. So, through most of 2010, let Jupiter's presence in Pisces encourage you
to make religion less about mental concepts and more about direct spiritual
experience.
