Advanced Relationship Chart Comparison & Transits in Depth

In this chart analysis intensive, we will explore the intricate patterns of the chart, reinforcing and applying fundamentals, as well as learning subtler nuances and secrets of horoscope interpretation. We will focus on two areas, Transits, and Chart Compatibility.  

In part one, Transits, we will explore the many techniques of using transits for making predictions, both classical and practical.  We will use examples from your own collections as well as examples from my own collection to reinforce your practice.  This class will be geared to intermediate or  advanced students who are  already conversant with techniques of transit.  

Part two will focus on relationship astrology, going more  in-depth with chart comparison.  We will work with real charts from real relationships as I show you how to decipher the nuances of the couples interaction.  This  class assumes that you have already taken other classes in chart compatibility, such as my relationships class which is available  online.  It  will build on those techniques and add some more.  But the pimary emphasis will be on going through dozens of real-life compatibility charts together in class. The best way to learn astrology is to do astrology, and we will go through lots of chart,  In the process, we will take your ability to understand relationships to a new level of confidence, making your readings more detailed, and full of nuance.

Preparation: For the Relationship section of the class, it is  recommended that you take my online class on relationship astrology previous to doing the intensive so that you will be well versed in the techniques that we will be using. I will be assuming that you already know most of those techniques.  

For the Transits section of the class it is recommended that you take the class on Vimshottari Dasha available on my website, since transits are normally applied against the background of the dasha and bhukti.  In any case I will be assuming that you are well versed in the techniques of Vimshottari Dasha.
