New
Cycles for Self-Discovery and a Rebirthing World ~
Predictions for 2008
Given what’s in
store, 2008 could easily become your
year of empowerment. It’s a year filled with astrological
cycles that support soul growth and that offer magicalways
to explore inner worlds. You will surely enjoy thescenery
as you journey forward into this magnificent year on the
horizon.
Our January program with popular Durham astrologer
Bernie Ashman will focus on the key astrological cycles
in
2008, which reveal new trends that are fast approaching
us.
He’ll show us how these cycles can be used for new
opportunities to develop creative power; tell us when these
waves of new hope will reach their greatest heights; and
help
us get ready to ride them forward with renewed energy.
Bernie will interpret the energy running through each
month of the year to give us a general sense of the pulse
of
the month—how each can promise great energy for career,
travel, creativity, reflection, love, and spiritual growth.
Some
cycles overlap and join “at the hip,” fusing
the energies of
these months together. These sewn-together time periods
offer the building blocks to make desired changes in our
lives.
As Bernie sees it, the creative forces will surprise all
of
us in ways we never dreamed possible. There are solid cycles
to work under for testing the waters of changing our outer
world. The world is about to transform whether we like it
or
not—and change rarely comes without a little anxiety
and
stress. But if we stay centered and have a little faith
in the
forces at work, there are endless possibilities to flourish
under the reign of the 2008 skies.
In 1973, after he found (or was found by!)
the book The
Astrology of Personality by Dane Rudyhar in an Atlanta
bookstore, Bernie knew that astrology was his calling, and
he
began studying diligently. By 1976 he had begun building
what became a large and faithful practice, consulting face-to-face
or by telephone. He now has clients from all over the world,
and has widened his scope to include writing, lecturing,
teaching, and mentoring.
He has published several popular astrology books including
Astrological Games People Play, RoadMap
to your Future, and SignMates; and he has
written the interpretive text for several astrological software
programs such as Simpaticos and Past Life Chart,
both in collaboration with Matrix Software. In late 2001,
Llewellyn published Civilization Under Attack,
which includes a chapter by Bernie, “Psychology
of Terrorism.”
“I really love and appreciate my clients,” Bernie
says. “I like tuning in to the realities people are
living
and being a catalyst for their growth and inspiration.”
If we make use of our intuition and are patient with the
challenges before us, 2008 can be a year through which we
plant new seeds that will sustain us for many years to come.
