Listen to Anne's lecture from at the OPA Zion retreat on October 20, 2017.

The King of the Gods is like a magnifying glass, drawing extra expansion energy (even excess) to whatever he touches. What have past Jupiter-in-Scorpio transits meant for our world? What area of YOUR chart will grow big in the upcoming year? How will Saturn and Uranus (both soon to be in Earth signs) react to getting their fields "watered" by a sextile from fertile, passionate Scorpionic Jupiter?

The Nodes of Fate – North and South – are the sensitive points in the sky where the Sun and Moon meet each day along the ecliptic path. In your natal chart, their position reveals your gifts from past lives, your karma, your destiny, and what you need to learn to move forward. Collectively, the Nodes tell the world where to focus its attention for the 1.5 years they spend in each sign pair: and they JUST changed from Virgo-Pisces to Leo-Aquarius on May 9th. Listen in to learn how to take advantage of the new Leo-Aquarius Nodal energy AND how to understand the Nodes of Fate in your chart.

Eris is the Goddess of Envy and Discord, the part of our chart where we Want What We Want or are Mad as Hell and Not Gonna Take It Anymore. She was discovered in 2005, and promptly got Pluto knocked down to dwarf status. Join Anne for this 2-hour webinar and identify your own Angry Feminine side. By becoming more conscious of Eris’s needs, we can use her ferocity for good – our own and that of others.

Along with "If it's in your heart, it's in your chart," one of Anne's favorite maxims is "Do your Saturn!" The God of Karma, Structure, and Discipline isn't always easy to get along with - but if you do your part, he'll do his. During this three-hour webinar, Anne will show you how to identify and empower your natal Saturn, honor his directives, and use his force for good in your life.

Uranus is the planet of chaos, revolution, and change. Like Neptune, his influence is ambivalent: he is the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. His position in your chart by sign and house shows where anarchy reigns . . . and also where your best outside-the-box creative thinking shines through. Anne discusses the various archetypes of Uranus: he was the primeval sky god in Greek mythology; modern astrologers also associate this planet with the stories of Icarus and Prometheus. She will help you understand the role Uranus plays in the sky, in your chart, and in your life.

Wherever Neptune is located in your chart, there you transcend ordinary reality and connect to the Divine. He represents the highest and lowest forms of human experience: delusion, addiction, madness . . . or mysticism, inspiration, breathtaking creative expression, and soul-deep unconditional love. During this three-hour online class, Anne teaches you to identify and honor your natal Neptune, skillfully navigate the waters of the subconscious mind, and develop a new sense of clarity and meaning.

Jupiter is the planet of vision and wisdom. Jupiter shows where in life you naturally excel, and what brings you good fortune. By getting to know your natal Jupiter, you can bring greater ease and abundance into your life: discover your innate gifts, connect with helpful mentors, expand your horizons, and have more FUN.

Mars is the planet of momentum and conquest. His placement by sign and house shows your innate action-style, how you go after what you want in the world. By getting to know your natal Mars, you can make your action-taking much more efficient: refine your processes, adopt new strategies, compete more effectively, and cut down on unproductive conflict.

Venus in astrology rules beauty, pleasure, money, and pretty much everything else we want more of in our lives! Join Anne for a special *three-hour* webinar in celebration of the Goddess of Love. Sign up to learn about Venus in YOUR natal chart . . . so you can decide how to give her what she needs, to make your heart’s desires come true. Anne will cover Venus’s role in mythology, how to interpret her placement by sign and house in a chart, and the ever-popular Venus Star Point analysis. Anne also discusses Venus’s current transits – her upcoming retrograde and the Venus Star Point in the sky in March – to help you prepare for the energy this winter and spring.

Mercury is one of the most important planets in your chart. He flies close to the Sun and makes up an essential part of your personality. The Herald of the Gods rules your mind, voice, words, thoughts, ideas, and communication style – as well as other aspects of life such as pets, siblings, neighbors, technology, work, and daily routines. If you’re a writer or a speaker, a student or a teacher . . . if you want to lean how to communicate and listen more effectively . . . and ESPECIALLY if you have a lot of Gemini or Virgo in your chart – this one’s for you. (Come to think of it, we could *all* stand to learn how to communicate and listen better, especially as Mercury is still in his shadow. This one’s for all of you!)

Learn the history of previous Chiron-in-Aries cycles, what to expect in world events between now and 2027, and how to take advantage of Chiron’s placement in your own natal chart.

Mystic Rectangles describe where our planets work together to create a "calling" in our lives. Created by two trines, two sextiles and two oppositions, Mystic Rectangles inspire people to pursue their passions as "spirit" or their "soul" speaks to them.

Uranus will be in Taurus from March 15, 2018 to April 25, 2026. Uranus in Fixed Earth shifts and changes how we perceive all things related to Taurus ~ a Venus ruled sign about beauty, grace, art and spring time. Taurus, a solid sign, doesn't care for the explosive, chaotic energies of Uranus. Taurus hangs on tight. Uranus says let go and change. The two combined offer an inherent conflict of energies that bring consciousness and change to our lives and world.

Listen to Anne Ortelee's astrological reading of Jane Austen.

Saturn enters Pisces and Pluto enters Aquarius beginning new journeys of change in our lives. This workshop, presented before a live audience of astrologers, covers the upcoming changes we can expect in the world and our lives. You learn how to plot out when Saturn and Pluto arrive on your planets and in your houses. We cover what to expect and how to work with the energies. The almost 6 hour workshop is broken into two segments ~ Saturn first and Pluto second.
