STAR CURRENTS: The Blog for Geo-Political Astrology
Thank you for visiting my site. I have been studying astrology since 1969 and practicing professionally since 1977. Well-known in the San Francisco Bay Area through long-running columns in local papers, I write the internationally syndicated sun-sign column, "Q-Scope". (In some papers it may run under different titles.)
And a big "Thank you" to all my friends, clients, students and colleagues who helped to make 2011 such a great year. Thanks to all who attended the Prediction Panel at the the San Francisco Astrological Society and my Forecasts for 2012 Workshop -- and special thanks to Steve Pincus and the others in the local NCGR Chapter who make that happen! For all we didn't get to cover there will be frequent updates on my geo-political astrology blog
UPCOMING EVENTS
After the terrific success of San Francisco's 2011 International Astrology Day mini-conference, we're expanding it to a two-day event! On Saturday, March 17, 2012. Spekers include Rio Olesky, Angel Thompson, Don Cerow, Laura Nalbandian, and Rob Hand. (And reserve a lunch! Sure there are lots of good restaurants nearby but last year's box lunches got raves and master chef Elias Trevino will be with us again this year.)
On Sunday, March 18 will present an all-day introductory workshop on medieval techniques in natal chart analysis.
In the meantime I am teaching the Intoduction to Geo-Political Astrology at the International Academy of Astrology Like all their classes it's online, so you can attend classes wherever you are. My classes are Tuesday from 5:00 to 6:30 pm Pacific Time (8:00 -- 9:30 Eastern). It does require a solid grounding in general astrology, but the IAA offers courses at all levels, and like the Breaking Down the Borders conference it does bring the best astrologers from around the world to your computer.
I'm also happy to be teaching an intermediate module through the San Francisco Astrological Society A series of three classes January 12, February 9, and March 8 -- second Thursdays of the months. Check at the SFAS site for details and registration.
Some of my other articles are online here, including:

Active in the professional community I am a founding member of:
Through years of involvement in the professional community I am glad to be able to recommend other good astrologers and resources. Whether you choose to engage my services or another astrologer's, please beware of the many charlatans. Our profession is largely unregulated, so make sure your astrologer is a respected member of the professional community.
While my practice is located in San Francisco, I do travel a lot and could be in your area any time. Write me and we might arrange it!
Of course I will be at the United Astrology Conference in New Orleans May 24-29 and then in Houston for a few days. Please write ahead to arrange a consultation.
