OPA Eastbay Astrocircle Event

  • Held in Berkeley @ The Finnish Hall 1970 Chestnut Street Berkeley, CA USA (map)

Early Registration Extended to May 8th!

OPA is pleased to announce the first in person/local event in the San Francisco Eastbay area.

Join us for an afternoon of great lectures by some of the most dynamic OPA speakers in the area: Kay Taylor, Linea Van Horn and Bear Ryver. — followed by an optional dinner at a nearby restaurant.

THE PROGRAM:

Sex Love Crazy - The Practical Edition

Chart themes show us why we seek certain types of people: Unavailable? Cut and run? Unfaithful? Or why one person waits for “the one” and others prefer freedom, polyamory or simply to be alone. We need to know personal relationship wiring first—then we can look at simple chart compatibility techniques. To know our true nature, to understand our beloveds, and then to evolve to express our strengths is the gift of relationship astrology. 

Kay Taylor integrates evolutionary astrology with psychosynthesis, intuitive mastery, and a wealth of healing wisdom. With a thriving practice for over 35 years, her Soul Path School offers complete training in astrology and intuitive/healing practices. She is Education Director for OPA and lectures regularly at conferences & groups. Writing: Soul Path Way (2016); Conscious or Crazy (2019); chapters in The Professional Astrologer (2015) & Essential Astrology (2019).  Certified by OPA, ISAR CAP and NCGR Level II.

Those Pesky Outer Planets: Putting Them in Perspective

The discovery of Uranus in 1750 turned astrology on its head. Neptune’s emergence coincided with the first use of anesthesia. We found Pluto at the same time nuclear energy was harnessed. Clearly these planets are “transpersonal” (beyond the personal), yet have somehow overtaken the field of personal astrology, resulting in the loss of long-held principles. Can invisible planets “rule” signs? Are they “higher” vibrations of “lower” planets? How do you know when they are important in a person’s chart? Learn all this and more about those pesky outer planets!
