PERSPECTIVES 2012
An Astrological Evening with Rio Olesky
2012 is here! Oh, no! Hide the money, the jewels and the first-born! Disaster and calamity are at hand! Or, are they? Maybe we’ve already experienced relentless challenges that have prepared us for the adventure of this year. Perhaps this year will merely test what have been learning over the past several years. Perhaps this year will actually offer us opportunities to make use of the transits to create a new reality for ourselves, individually and collectively. Perhaps these transits can help us enter new states of consciousness that can provide the clarity and inspiration to make major strides in our growth and evolution.
These are some of the extraordinary transits we will encounter this year:
* The continuation of the Uranus-Pluto square
* Neptune returning to Pisces and remaining there for the next 14 years
* Jupiter transiting in to Gemini
* Saturn remaining in Libra
* Mercury, Venus and Mars will be retrograde during the first six months of the year
Join Rio as he delineates these and other important energy patterns. The focus of the talk will be on understanding how to work with these alignments in order to enhance our potential for consciousness development and personal growth. He will also discuss how the tendencies of the planets will affect the collective issues of economics, politics and international relations.

This is a weekly drop-in class for intermediate and advanced students. Each week Rio and the students discuss the transits (how the planets are influencing us right now).
