November 2015: Sky to Script: Techniques for Writing Astrology

"Sky to Script: Techniques for Writing Astrology"

Did you ever want to know how the monthly and daily horoscopes are written? Or do you want to begin publishing a monthly scope of your own? Rebecca Gordon will share the vital tools of the trade so you can get your blog fit to print. With over 10 years of experience ranging from newspaper daily horoscopes to Conde Nast monthlies and yearly forecasts, she will share her process with special anecdotes on the history of horoscopic astrology and where we may be headed

Rebecca will introduce the Solar Chart both as your best writing companion, and also the best kept secret for natal astrologers. The use of both charts is often what gives astrology a unique texture that can only be arrived at by using two different lenses on the sky

She will cover Solar Sign Houses, the Scout Planet and how to translate ‘Sky to Script’. Writing horoscopes or simply learning the techniques will enhance your practice in the consulting room by virtue of having a new lens on space. Speaker: Rebecca Gordon
