New Pocket Course: Embracing the Goddesses: The Syntactic Environment for Change
Evan Bortnick, Dipl. O.C.A., AP.D, NCGR IV (Rect)
Former IAA Dean of Education and Professional Training, Evan Bortnick, offers a four-week Pocket Course focusing on perhaps the most fundamental underlying principle of astrology: constant change. This course, however, studies change on its own terms, outside of a strictly astrological context. What motivates change? How much regulation do we have in how we change? Do we change for groups? For loved ones? For society? For friends? For family? When and how exactly do we change FOR OURSELVES??? Understanding and answering these questions is important both for astrologers who are counseling clients, as well as for anyone who is attempting to understand their own personal cycles of change and growth.
Join Evan as he examines these questions from a variety of perspectives in order to understand how change can best manifest in daily life. The only requirements for this course are a basic knowledge of astrology and a burning desire to optimize the change that is constantly taking place in ourselves and in others. Begins January 27th.

A Look at the Month Ahead: A Monthly Series with Diane Trimbath
Diane Trimbath
Join Diane Trimbath to learn about new opportunities or “shifts of focus” in store for us each month, as she reviews the energies coming in from our sky in IAA’s new monthly series, “A Look at the Month Ahead.” Find out how, when, and where these changes may influence YOUR life (based on your Sun sign). Diane will be holding these meetings once a month, but registration for each meeting is separate — you do not need to sign up for the entire series or make any long-term commitment. Everyone is welcome, you do not need any astrological background to participate. Visit the registration page to see the scheduled dates. Watch an excerpt from the January 2020 lecture below.
