Astrology is much more than a daily horoscope! It’s an ancient art based on astronomical data and experience. Not a science in our modern sense of eividence, but a complex system that provides another perspective on human personality. Come explore how it works! We will discuss the origins, how a Natal or event chart is drawn, the basic symbols, and building blocks of the chart: planets, signs, houses, and aspects. We will explore how these are woven together to create a horoscope, and after looking at horoscope examples of some famous people, students may choose to work on their own charts together (please have your birth data—time, place and date. Note: exact birth time is important, and may require obtaining a long form birth certificate in advance.) We’ll also explore the Astrodienst website, so bring your smart phone, tablet, or laptop. Let the adult ed office know if you need access to a device. Class skips 4/23. Instructor Elisabeth Goodridge has been doing astrology readings for more than fifty years, starting with a column in Women's World Weekly in Montreal, after studying with astrologer John Manalesco. She has also studied with Tom Stanga in Salem, Massachusetts, and learned much from the works of Isabel Hickey, Sakoian and Acker, Robert Hand, Liz Greene, Linda Goodman, and others. She had a daily astrology spot on four radio stations in Maine and New Hampshire for many years in the 90s, as "Elisabeth the Stargazer."
