HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE CONTACTED BY THE ASC?

If you normally receive a postcard about our New Age Fair and you did not get one for the May fair, that means we did not hear from you when we mailed the February fair cards.  We requested your confirmation to stay on our postal mailing list.  Since you're receiving this email, that means we do have your email and that we now send you email instead of postal mail. If you want to receive postcards in the future, please let us know either via phone or email.

Predictive Techniques

Accurate predictive work requires an integration of various techniques. This talk defines transits, secondary progressions, solar arcs, and midpoints. It shows how to use each of these methods for best results in predictive work, whether that predictive work is psychological or event oriented. It demonstrates how to combine the use of these methods in forecasting life's cycles and events.

Joyce Levine is an astrological consultant, astrology lecturer and author. Her career spans more than 25 years, including more than 12 years as a former astrology talk show host and guest speaker. She is the Clerk of the NCGR National Council for Geocosmic Research and is currently President of the Boston Chapter.

REMINDER:  We're trimming our mailing list that has many old names on it so people who have not yet responded to stay on the list need to contact us to get a postcard for August. Please see note above!

The February fair was a big success and thanks to everyone who helped!

These fairs are the key fundraisers that allow the ASC to present our programs throughout each season without having to charge our members for the lectures. As an all-volunteer organization, we rely on help from many people to produce the fairs. There's a lot of work that goes on "behind the scenes" before and after each fair and we need volunteers to step up and pitch in to relieve the load that has been sitting on too few shoulders. We especially need assistance from people adept with their computers for paperwork preparation right before each fair. If you can lend a hand, please email NAF@myasc.org. Or see our HELP WANTED page!
