Very usefull information HM
I diden t now that
Good afternoon, Sunrise...
You're most welcome.
Many "event" charts can and should also be interpreted as bonafide horary charts.
Just for example, that Germanwings co-pilot who slammed that airbus 320 airplane into the French Alps, a few days ago, killing all 149 passengers and crew onboard, the event chart for the
take-off of the plane from the airport will likely have HIS SCORPION BLOOD all over the event chart.
That co-pilot, alledgely the most henious mass murderer in recent aviation history, will likely have left his "foot print" on that event chart.
If he was, indeed, the mastermind of the crash (and French prosecutors are telling us that that was the case), then that is quite likely ?
I may comment on that plane crash, later, I am real busy, right now.
Almost every professional astrologer that I know of will do an event chart for the moment of the consultation between a client, for example.
I have been doing such a chart for at least four decades, now.
That's over 10,000 charts, by the way !
The main benefit of doing such a chart is to ascertain the psychological state of mind of the querent and also, to tell us what is the main reason why the querent has come to astrology.
People come to astrology for all sorts of reasons, these days !
If the person is doing a reading to just pass the time of day or to test the astrologer, a stricture against judgement will normally appear in the chart (BUT not always !)
At the highest levels of horary astrology, a qualified horary instructor can turn a SINGLE event chart into a classroom instructional (secondary) training aid ?
For example, if I have an "in person" class of 10 people learning horary astrology for the first time, you can turn one event chart into a shooting
gallery of sorts.
Each person in the room can ask a unique personal question from that same chart and of course, the event chart will have to be turned in each instance.
Again, this type of event is only used at the highest levels of horary astrology and is not for amateurs or beginners.
Also, every community around the world that I am aware of has a local western astrology meetup group.
However, if your community does not have an IN PERSON astrology meetup group, I would strongly encourage you to organize one, yourself?
You should always publicize the first meetup event, well in advance, through the local traditional media and also, through facebook, twitter, etc.
Hold the meeting on a weeknight or on a weekend, like a Sunday, for best results, and make sure that the event chart ascendant ruler is beefed up, the Moon or Ascendant is applying to the ruler of the 11th house of community groups and that the radix Moon makes a favorable last aspect before it leaves the sign ?
If you are really good at computers, you can also broadcast the event live on Skype or Ustream for FREE. All you need is a webcam, a decent quality microphone and an internet connection, plus a facebook site.
You will also need a name for your group. The name must be simple and also aptly represent the area that you are living in.
Aim for 5 to 10 people to show up and make sure it that is in a public place, such as a public library or downtown hotel, accessible by public transit and also, accessible to the disabled.
(never hold the first group meetup in your own home).
Have coffee and refreshments available, as it really makes the meeting go smooth. I was once involved with a Calgary, Alberta, meetup group and the organizer was a woman with Sun and Moon in Cancer. She always brought home baked cookies to our meetings and they were real good !
Also, have a sign up sheet, ready, to pass around, with everyone's name, address and email address/phone number, etc.
Once people are there, it would be a feasible idea to discuss the idea of forming a not for profit astrology society, which can be done for as little as $ 100.00 U.S. dollars.
To raise the funds, ask everyone in the room to throw 10 or 20 bucks into a hat towards that purpose.
All you need is three people to form a valid Society; a President, a vice president, plus a secretary-treasurer.
You should hold a meeting every month or as the need arises.
You would also need a constitution and a set of bylaws. You can actually get a template for such a set of bylaws from your local government registrars office.
Once you have society status, which can be had in as little as a few weeks, you can qualify for discounts on rental of rooms for meetings and also apply for government grants, etc.
Also, you can do fundraisers in the community to raise funds and perhaps, to attract quality astrologers to your area to conduct seminars.
Lecturers of astrology tend to be busy folk, so you would want to book them well in advance, with six to 12 months notice.
You should try to get a "big name" astrologer or guest to kick off your first meeting.
Typically, you would need a budget voted on in advance, featuring plane fare, accomodation, plus a fee for their appearance, but all of that can be negotiated in advance.
It should be noted that not all astrology groups pay their lecturers and some arrange for them to do "paid" consultations while at the event or afterwards, as a way of rewarding them for their time.
One of the key benefits of REAL, "in person" astrology meetings and instruction is to develop social skills and personal intimacy that you could not possible obtain by texting or internet interaction alone.
It is sad to know that many young kids following astrology today have never actually attended a real, in person, astrology workshop or seminar, and thus, their personal astrological experience will always be limited.
One of the pitfalls of computer relationships, generally, is a lack of intimacy and unable to be intimate with human beings. All humans need real, in person interaction in order to become more well rounded in their personal relationships.
The other main benefit of forming an astrology group in your community is to see what others do ? i.e., to form a dialogue with the so-called "pretenders" of astrology in your community, those practicing astrology under the disguise of tarot cards, psychics, or witchcraft.
It's a thorny issue, indeed, but Tarot card readers and others should be dialoged with, in my view, and should be educated, so that their brand of astrology is elevated up a few notches from sun-sign readings and other garbage to real, natal chart horoscopy and meaningful western astrology methods !
The best way to educate the "crystal ball readers" is to invite them to your local astrology seminar featuring an expert, like a Robert Hand or a Nick Campion.
There are many, many, good reasons to form a local astrology meetup group, not just for horary astrology fans, but fans of natal astrology, mundane, medical/relationship astrology, relocation astrology, etc.
If you don't do anything, and just visit astrology forums like these, don't be surprised if, one day, tarot readers and witches just take over your astrology community, period, just like the good ole' days of the Dark Ages
and the Heretic conspiracy era of history. LOL
cheers,
