DIRECTORY OF ASTROLOGERS TRAINED BY STEVEN FORREST
We've enjoyed these pictures of Jeffrey Green and Steven so much that we kept them here to show you... Steve and Jeff have both written books about Pluto, and now "the Pluto Brothers," as they call themselves, have written two books together! Measuring the Night is based on a series of workshops on Evolutionary Astrology that Steve and Jeff presented across the country.
    Click here for details about Measuring the Night: Evolutionary Astrology and the Keys to the Soul, Volume One. Volume Two appeared in February, 2001 and is out of print until further notice.

Feb. 23-24, 2008, Jodie Forrest's Astrological Mentoring Intensives, 
Blue Sky Ranch, Lakeside, CA, Topic Jupiter and Saturn: The Reach and the Grasp, Fee $240.00.

Ah,

but a man's reach should exceed his grasp

    Or what's a heaven for? 

    —Robert Browning


Not the personal, interesting and sexy inner planets, and not the “cosmic,” “higher-octave” outer planets,
Jupiter and Saturn sometimes get short shrift. Jupiter all too often gets dismissed as a party animal, and 
Saturn as the schoolmarm who makes you stay inside the lines when you color. But these two planets—their dynamics
in a birthchart, and their transiting cycles in birthcharts and in outer-world events—are vital to an understanding 
of evolutionary astrology. They refer to the dance between hope and realism, expansion and contraction,
vision and groundedness. Jupiter wants to give us wings. Saturn wants to give us a backbone. 

Fee: $240.00 includes snacks and lunch For more information and to register: http://www.blueskyranch.org/JodieForrest.htm .

May 1-4, 2008. San Diego, CA. Steven Forrest Apprenticeship Program
The Intentional Experience of Transits and Progressions
How might we fully embody the choice-centered principles of Evolutionary Astrology? Choices and wisdom - consciousness, in other words - become the wild card in every transit, progression, or solar arc. In this meeting of the AP, we will be working with the charts of class members drawn at random. Come prepared with curiosity - and perhaps even some anxiety - about an upcoming astrological event in your own chart. Once a chart is selected we will focus on how to prepare for it with clear understanding and positive, disciplined evolutionary intentions - the soul of practical magick! This class is designed to deepen your understanding of the practical energetic dynamic of Transits and Progressions.

 Jun 7-8, 2008. Oakland, CA. Thematic Chart Synthesis: Astrological Fluency in Birthchart Analysis. 
An Evolutionary Astrology Mentoring Intensive with Jodie Forrest.
You’ve learned the basics. Your astro-dictionary has some evolutionary astrology definitions for the signs, 
planets, nodes, houses and the major aspects. Next step:  how’s your technique? Do your interpretations flow? 
Can you make fluent sentences with those astrological "words"? Can you spot how those sentences illustrate 
themes in birthcharts—-and in your clients’ lives?    
 Move beyond theory to practice! Now that you've learned the rudiments, put them all together in this workshop 
on the living art and craft of natal chart synthesis. 

Jun 7-8, 2008, Oakland, CA, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
 Fee:  $240.00, includes lunch, coffee, tea & light snacks.For more information and 
to pre-register, contact Chris Zydel, chriszydel@creativejuicesarts.com, 510.839.2434, www.creativejuicesarts.com/Jodie.htm.

Aug. 11-20, 2008. Bali, Indonesia. With Melanie Reinhart. "Celestial Roots."
"Look to behold this night earth-treading stars
that make dark heaven light." --Romeo and Juliet, Act 1 Scene 2

Life changes us. The realities we actually experience cannot be captured by static astrological definitions. The Universe is dynamic and participatory. 
So it is in astrology, and also within the soul which astrology mirrors. A lively, soul-centered approach to astrology breathes and grows. It allows the 
unexpected, the whimsical, the poetic. The heart is touched.

Used wisely, astrology is a way of helping us become more present to who we really are, and to honour our place in the unfolding Universe. The 
birth chart describes countless worlds we might inhabit or manifest, inner and outer, painful or pleasurable. Many are creative, vibrant, erotic, alive. Some 
are found by paths of fire and light, some through airy flight; others take us through stormy waters, or dark narrow passageways. Still others are accessed 
through stillness and introspection. All contain jewels of awareness in our imagination and experience, when approached with sincerity and compassion.

It is our own attitudes and beliefs which pre-condition the experiences we have, not our horoscopes.

Come explore this kind of living astrology in mystical Bali with Melanie Reinhart and Steven Forrest . They share a commitment to a spiritual approach to 
astrology that is also psychologically grounded, and both enjoy exploring soul work through the medium of creativity and art. They are astrologers of long 
experience in consulting and teaching within the modern tradition. Both are commited, not only to honoring the metaphysical traditions that are astrology's 
roots, but also to integrating the new, emerging reality of the solar system - asteroids, Centaurs, Kuiper belt objects.

The workshop itself will be a creative experience. We'll have nine days in the realms of magic. Our map is a sketch on a napkin. We expect  treasure 
everywhere.

November 6-9, 2008. San Diego, CA. Steven Forrest Apprenticeship Program
Topic: TBD
It is Steven's desire to teach others how to become more successful professional astrologers. He states that it is time for him to "pass the torch." His programs have a warm and intimate tone, utilizing a combination of theory, instruction and practice sessions with plenty of one-on-one interaction. He goes deeply into the astrological fundamentals rather than superficially into a plethora of astrological details. The class work is primarily from real-world situations using class members' charts. Always, the aim lies in encouraging students to find their own voices, to become better astrologers, and to gain a deeper understanding of evolutionary astrology and chart interpretation.
