Hear ye, hear ye: I was a contributor to the “Chart Challenge” column in the Oct./Nov. issue of the Mountain Astrologer, which should be on the newstands any minute now (subscribers should be getting their issues in the next week or two, I think). Geared toward the beginning astrologer, the column asks two astrologers to respond to a couple of questions about a particular chart; the student can then compare his or her own findings to those of The Professionals.
I didn’t know who the other astrologer would be when I agreed to the gig, and I was a little stunned to crack open my advance copy and find myself in the esteemed company of Bruce Scofield, whose articles in TMA I’ve long admired. It’s not unlike the thrill I felt, years ago, to find my picture and name alongside those of Robert Hand in the newsletter of my local astrology group, when he and I happened to lecture in consecutive months. I sort of giggled; Robert Hand and… me? Twenty-five years ago I used to sit cross-legged in the bookstore at the mall and read his books, now we’re sharing the front page of something? What’s wrong with this picture?
And if that ain’t enough, Llewellyn’s 2007 Moon Sign Book, which includes an article I wrote about the astrological rulerships of the days of the week, is now on sale at an online bookseller near you. Rush out now in a buying frenzy!
