Good & Bad Fortune
The idea of good and bad spirits has always been part of human cosmology and belief. But good and bad spirits have also been used to describe those influences that either help us on our journey through life or distract or hinder us from our goals. This lecture will look at the astrological indicators in the natal chart of the good spirit or patronage which helps the individual succeed in life as well as the bad spirit or enemies and circumstance which undermine the individual’s efforts and affect outcomes.
The Time of Your Life
Ever wondered why some transits are more powerful than others? Why some individuals cruise through them and others suffer? Firdaria, a traditional method of planetary periods, can give us extraordinary insight into the quality of time in individual periods of a person’s life and combining this with other predictive techniques we can create a three-dimensional view of a person’s possible experiences. Let Mari introduce you to an essential tool for the predictive astrologer.
