We are very sorry to report that Phil Sedgwick will not be able to be with us in November. The good news, however, is that Dana Gerheardt will be here from Oregon to talk on Thursday about "Meeting the Planets with a Magical Mind" and she will give a workshop that Saturday on "Venus Retrograde: Desire, Seduction, and Mastery"
Astrology Classes for Beginners!
SFAS Satellite Classes
Starting in October we are offering a series of beginning classes in astrology to meet the first Thursday of the month in a living room near you! Focusing on one planet at a time in the charts of the students this is a great, hands-on approach to learning the basics of astrology. Check for details through this link or at the "Education" tab above
San Francisco's International Astrology Day was such a success that we are already planning for next year on Saturday March 19, 2011!
Thanks especially to our wonderful speakers, and also to the volunteers who made it possible. Of course everyone who showed up contributed to its success. Without the participation of speakers, volunteers and all our attendees we couldn't have done it!
Thanks to all of you!
See you next year!
