Important: Remaining classes at HCH Institute have been cancelled. Due to other time commitments, I do not expect to resume classes until the fall. I am considering venues both in Glen Ellen, CA and in Santa Cruz mountain areas that will allow me to offer the classes at almost 50% less that previously due to lower overhead (see below). Please e-mail me if you are interested in any of the classes listed below and which venue you would be interested in.

These planets are found in any of 12 different signs, in twelve different houses. Together with the sun, they make up the basics of your natal chart.

Transits and Secondary Progressions November 6, 2011
We all wonder what the future might hold for us. In this class we will explore the energies of the planets as they move through the sky and where, when and how those energies might manifest themselves in our lives over the next year.
We will additionally learn about the system of secondary progressions in which a template for trends throughout our life is set down in the first few months after birth. By understanding both transits and progressions we can prepare ourselves to make the best use of the energies that may be available to us, as well as more easily turn our challenges into learning and growth.
The instructor will provide free charts and lists of transits and progressions over the coming year for class members. See Obtaining Your Free Charts below.
The Solar Return Chart January 29, 2012
