Understanding Relationships
gsal005 - Love and Other Fairy Tales - $15
Why is it that some people seem to be in relationships that are doomed, while others simply open the door and Love walks in? As astrologers, we can easily explore the Post Mortem of Love, but wouldn't it be nice if we could find a formula that could treat the patient while she or he is still alive? This is way beyond "Relationships 101" (NORWAC, Seattle, 2007)
length 1:16:34
gsal019 - Love as We Know It - $15
Now that Saturn is fully vested in Libra's territory, we have an opportunity to take a clear look at relationships, personal commitment and all facets of love. As astrologers, we can determine an all-important thing: is it time for love? We'll look at the natal chart to find clues to personal preferences, but more important, we'll see which cycles are implicated in relationships. Is it love, lust, karma ... or just a passing fancy?

An eclipse of the Sun or Moon has always drawn attention. While the mystery and suspicion surrounding eclipses has subsided, the meaning is still somewhat elusive. Join Gloria to explore the nature of the eclipses – learn about Saros Cycles, the significance of the Prenatal Eclipse, Nodal Returns, and more. Find out how and when eclipses are more relevant to your own life, and when the eclipses are more like watching a movie. Hopefully, illumination will follow! (ASC, Hartford, 2011)

But before you go there, are you really ready to look at cycles yet? (This could be a novice level lecture — more like an introduction to forecasting.) (NORWAC, Seattle 2007)

Embattled Jupiter, Saturn & Neptune - $15
