reetings Everyone!
We are busier than ever at OPA! The
2016 programs in Athens Georgia
(March) and Athens Greece (May-June) are
completely new ventures on OPA’s resume.
I-Astrologer is an incredibly exciting event
we are putting together to help aspiring and
practicing astrologers manifest their dream to
lead successful careers as astrologers.
We know there are setbacks to making it as
a full time astrologer, and this is where OPA
saw the need to create a platform that would
bring together all the elements needed for
astrologers to gain the insight and confidence
to overcome challenges and thrive in their
practice. If you want to become an astrolo-
ger, or if you already are practicing but need
a greater flow of clients and inspiration for
expansion, do not miss this event! Check all the
details in this issue or on the website, which
will be updated gradually.
We are also invested in creating an amazing
astrology event in Athens, Greece, bringing
together the American and European members
of OPA on the very grounds where astrology
thrived two thousand years ago. The 3 day con-
ference will be followed by a magical journey
to the sacred sites and mesmerizing Greek
islands. Details will be posted on the website.
and Spriritual Tour
ATHENS, GREECE + ISLANDS
May 27 – June 9, 2016
An Astrology conference at the foot of the
Acropolis in Athens, followed by a post
conference journey to Delphi,
and the islands of Delos,
Paros, and Santorini,
exploring the mythical
Roots of astrology.
Details in this edition and on
the OPA website.
OPA is dedicated to make astrology and
astrologers stronger, and to provide support for
our profession, OPA is in the advanced process
to publish a book titled The Professional
Practice of Astrology, a compilation of
chapters from prominent astrologers, each
exploring the different aspects of a successful
practice. The book is scheduled to be released
at the 2015 OPA retreat, October 2015.
This coming season, OPA will also further
expand in South Africa where we have a work-
shop organized in Johannesburg on August
16. Contact OPA’s South African Satellite,
Heiltje LeRoux for more details.
With Venus retrograde, conjunct Jupiter
on the royal star of Regulus, we surely hope
to make the coming season as regal as can
be! Enjoy this great new edition of the Career
Astrologer. We are welcoming Kay Taylor and
Armand Diaz for the “Enhance your Practice”
and “Transit of the
Month” columns.
Many blessings for
this new festive season,
and gratitude for your
support, always,
Maurice Fernandez
President, OPA
