Mercury Retrograde Check-in

Posted in News.

Frustrated by Technology

Hi all,

Happy autumn… How are y’all surviving this Mercury retrograde? While Mercury retrogrades are a real thing, I tend to feel they are a bit overhyped these days.

NOT. THIS. ONE. I don’t know about you, but all I’ve done over the last few days is sort out mess after mess. Misdirected payments. Numerous devices in our house dying at the same time. And yes, four baby toys ran out of juice within an hour of each other yesterday. How is that possible? My breast pump died this morning (sorry if that’s TMI). Nearly all clients/students cancelled yesterday and today. I am currently writing this post while waiting on hold with my credit card company (1 hour and 43 minutes and counting!) because my card number was stolen, they froze my account and told me to call them. Oh, and within 30 minutes of finding that out, my FitBit completely died. (Taking a deep breath about that one. Only my husband knows how much I rely on this little wrist gadget.)

Okay… so, considering that you all might be going through similar #firstworldproblems that are still frazzling (and we’re allowed to be frazzled about them), here’s a short update on what’s coming up this fall for me:

First, a new Predictive Astrology class starts next week:

CAAE Level 3 – Predictive Astrology Part 1: Transits
12 weeks: Thursdays 7-9 pm EDT starting October 6, 2023
Online via Zoom

In this three-month long course, you’ll learn in-depth about planetary cycles as they move through the signs and houses of the zodiac. We’ll use your own personal events (births, deaths, job changes, marriages, separations, accidents and so much more) to understand the correlations between certain transits and your own personal chart. Lots of sharing in this class! We’ll also look at Moon phases, the Moon’s Nodes and Eclipses. Of course, Morin’s brilliant rules for transits will be taught too!

Readings are given each week. We spend our time in class working on our own charts. Each class is two hours long.

Prerequisites: CAAE Levels 1 & 2 and/or equivalent. (Contact me directly to discuss your eligibility.)

Price: $435 CAD for 12 weeks

As always, classes will be recorded, and I’ll leave them up for two weeks for viewing. We spend a great deal of time looking at your own charts and sharing transit experiences. (Don’t worry – I’ll teach you how to do this.) Contact me ASAP if you’re interested.

On October 23rd, I’ll be doing a Star Club Webinar for ISAR on rectification:

ISAR Star Club Webinar: The Case for Regular Rectification
Sunday, October 23, 2022 | 3 – 4:30 pm EDT

Here’s the write-up on ISAR’s website: As astrologers, we need to really be mindful of the birth times with which we are working. Astrologer Melanie Joy uses the birth time as a starting point that she routinely tests to ensure its accuracy. Being four minutes’ off from an ideal time of use means the Midheaven degree can change, and our predictions can be out a full year. If we want accurate output as astrologers, we need to have an accurate input. Melanie rectifies all her clients’ natal charts down to the second in order to ensure precision in natal chart delineation and forecasting techniques. In this workshop, Melanie introduces her chart rectification methods for clients with no birth time and even clients who provide a birth time.

1 hour 55 minutes and counting TD! What the actual…

Astrology Niagara:

I’ve also been busy with the rest of my amazing Astrology Niagara team, preparing for our first official in-person lunch together which happens this Saturday. And, I just finished booking our final guest for our 2023 Speaker Series. It’s such an awesome one. I can’t wait to reveal more details about that in November!

New Classes for January/February 2023:

Rectification: I know you’ve heard this before (but look, I’ve been a really busy mama)… I am really, truly, honestly planning on offering Rectification classes starting in the New Year (which will be an accredited course with the CAAE should you wish to pursue that path). If you’re interested in attending, please shoot me an email, so I can keep a list of interested students. I expect it to fill up quite quickly.

Predictive Astrology Part 2: Secondary Progressions, Profections and Solar Arcs. This eight week course will build upon the Transits course. Learn how secondary progressions, profections and solar arcs can combine to correlate with life’s important events and cycles. Learn how to read triwheels and anticipate events like marriages, child birth, career changes, separations, moves, health challenges and more.

More course details to follow on each of these!

Now booking into January…

I am almost at my maximum for mentoring and private classes, but I have room for two more daytime students starting in January. If you’re interested, please let me know. My rates will be going up slightly in January, but if you book before year’s end, you’ll get the 2022 rate which is $330 CAD for six one-hour weekly sessions ($55/hour).

  • Rectifications – I am booking into January/February.
  • Year Ahead sessions (solar returns) – I am booking into January.

At 2 hours exactly (what are the odds?) a customer service rep finally answered the phone at TD. And… it turns out someone has been using my credit card for the last six days going to town on sports betting sites and restaurants, so now my account is closed. I’ll have to wait two weeks for a new card, and I have a fraud claim open for about 15 fraudulent transactions. (Don’t judge me for not knowing this until now; I’ve got Neptune in my 2nd house.) Anyway, how’s that for a real-time Mercury retrograde headache?

Next up: the smart watch.

Hang in there friends… Relief is coming next week!
