If you are unfamiliar with terms used in these descriptions, we recommend you attend our pre-lecture orientation at 6:00 PM prior to Thursday’s lecture, when a member of the ASC explains terms and concepts anticipated in the lecture or teaches other building blocks of astrology. You may also wish to attend a “basics of astrology” class at our New Age Fair.

Clients often come to us wanting to know when something is going to happen. These questions can be answered by Horary; but the alternative is to look at transits, progressions, and/or directions. This technique is based on the speed of transits. She will do this once using a famous person and a past event and then will do timings of events in the lives of participants.

The Archetype, arguably the most powerful tool for the astrologer, reveals the goals of life as well as an objective value system. An immediate consequence is to orient you by providing an insight into your private world, the microcosm.

Ceres: The Power of Compromise

The power of Ceres is still one of the best kept secrets in astrology. A corn goddess who seeks her daughter and is willing to destroy the earth until her daughter returns is the most common understanding of Ceres. Yet, this is a woman who understands her full power and the need to temper it with compromise in order to win. The most important component of Ceres is that it indicates how you can use your own power. You can either tap into the destructive energy of Ceres which shows little regard to others, or you can generate compromise which leads to success in your life.

Misty Kuceris is an astrologer with over 30 years of experience working with both personal and corporate clients. In addition to her consulting business, Misty lectures internationally and authors several astrological columns and publications. She is co-founder of NOVA Astrology Group in Northern Virginia and sits on the board of NCGR, Annapolis chapter.
