reetings OPA members!
I hope all of you had a very special
summer (at least those of you in
the northern hemisphere), and are ready
for the closing months of the year 2014.
I believe most of you will agree with me
that 2014 has been
a very particular
year, charged with
tragic tension in the
Ukraine, the Middle
East, and many dra-
matic natural events.
Astrologically, we
started this year
with the powerful Cardinal Cross and then
in August transitioned to the fixed ener-
gies of Jupiter in Leo and Mars and Saturn
in Scorpio. The Uranus/Pluto square is
making two additional exact alignments,
the next one in December and then
in March 2015. With an increase of fire
energy (Jupiter in Leo and soon Saturn in
Sagittarius), we can expect strong exter-
nal manifestations and changes resulting
from this square. Our security will be in
motion, creativity, and action it seems.
On our side, OPA has been very busy
planning the program for the 2015 Retreat
and we are very inspired by our schedule
of speakers and topics. Please take the
time to review the preview of the tracks in
this issue, and take note: those of you who
are signing up for the retreat by December
2014, will not only get the lowest price,
but also a 6 month membership bonus!
I hope you take advantage of this offer
and come to celebrate Astrology with us
in California next year. Your support and
loyalty is much appreciated; it fuels our
creativity and inspires our service.
In other exciting news, we are working
on a collaboration with Kepler College
in order to offer our membership special
opportunities to study through Kepler.
OPA members can now enjoy a 10% dis-
count on any workshop from $250, and
a 5% discount on any workshop below
that. OPA is also working on creating a
Professional Development workshop with
Kepler. Stay tuned for more details!
We soon will be publishing the new
schedule for the Free Monthly Talks for
2015. In the meantime, we look forward to
hear Armand Diaz, Margaret Gray, and Kari
Noren Hoshal in these coming months.
Wishing you all a wonderful season, and
I hope to see many of you at the ISAR con-
ference in the next few days.
With Blessings,
Maurice, President, OPA
