I've been receiving some inquiries from people interested in participating in the workshop, but unfortunately finding a little difficult to commit with seven straight weeks of classes. I have then decided to split the workshop in separate sessions, independent from each other. Price has been reduced too. To learn more, please read description below!

1.How does the course work? The Creative Astrology Workshop is an interactive, online course that joins astrology and art. We will use a discussion list on Yahoo Groups as our virtual classroom, which makes the process highly dynamic: everybody can participate, according to their availability, and learn with others' experiences and observations. You will learn how to read important points of

I just can't express my joy and gratitude for the wonderful group that has been, for almost 2 weeks, sharing with me the first Creative Astrology Online Workshop. It was for sure an exciting start, blessed by the energy of the Fire! I want to congratulate all the group for so much life, love and creative energy, and thank them for sharing their inspiring insights. Here are the amazing artworks

Mandalas are pervasive images in the art of folks and cultures all over the world, existing in the form of paintings, dances or buildings. They express the notion of Cosmos, of reality unified in a whole, the perfect relationship between space and time, form and movement. The universal symbolism of the circle resonates deeply with our inner self. It symbolizes the idea of perfection, completeness

The Astroportraits are very special fine art portraits inspired on your astrological profile. Your picture will show merged in a web of images, symbols and colors that represent the energy patterns showed in your birth chart - Rising sign or Ascendant, Sun and Moon signs, predominant element, Moon Nodes and other important points. It is like a visual poem, a register of your potentials

Since I was a little child, I've been exercising my artistic creativity in the most varied forms. I don't remember any time of my life when I was not doing anything creative, and I was never blocked by my parents or teachers. So my creativity flourished and became part of my understanding of life. Later, when I started to break a little of the big barrier of introversion that had permeated my

I'm going through what appears to be a recycling phase in my artistic life. There are some things that are not working as I'd like, and others that sound to me to be in need of urgent changes. I've been experiencing different techniques and approaches toward my themes and also trying to find ways to turn things a bit more organized and exciting.At the last Lexington Pagan Pride I saw a tarot

When this blog was initially constructed, it was intended to accommodate my insights in astrology and spirituality. I had the project in hands and mind but I still didn't know very well what to do with it. You know, I have this tendency of accumulating projects, and then I end up with so much stuff in hands that it gets almost impossible to handle everything. So I recently took the decision on

Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, a Harvard's neuroscientist, talks about her experience of consciousness expansion during a stroke in 1996. I found it absolutely touching - and not because of the somewhat "preacheresque" tone of the lecture. It's great to see somebody with scientific knowledge experiencing something we've known for so long, and bringing it to the light out of the mystical/esoteric spheres.

I am not an astrology freak. You know the type: the ones that don't put their feet out of bed in the morning without consulting the stars. I am more likely to let life flow and don't really check my transits except when I am about to take some important step. Or when I begin to observe patterns in my daily life, and then I have no choice but take a look at the sky and see what's going on.Since a

I finally finished reading the dazzling “Lizzie Siddal – Face of the Pre-Raphaelites”, by Lucinda Hawksley. The book is a delight in every page, specially for who, like me, have a big interest on the Victorian era and mainly on its artistic movements. Among them, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and its romantic protagonists play a key role. I have a great fascination with the life of the painter

I am everything that is inside, that nests and protects. Womb, cave, the homeland. I am your refuge and your home. Mother Earth.

Karmic Astrology is the astrological discipline that relates the configurations in a chart with the past lives of an individual. It considers every point of the chart as a significant of some type of past experience. I am not a karmic astrologer, and, although I agree with that premise to a certain point (the person we are today is an offspring of the one – or ones – we were yesterday,) my

As an incorrigible reincarnationist, difficult is, for me, to separate astrology from reincarnation. Simply because I see both as natural parts of life and of the universe laws. If the astro chart is a “compass”, or our “manual of instructions”, and if we are products of the choices we’ve done in our past lives, it’s not difficult to conclude that our astro chart is somewhat tied to our past

Astrologically, the new year starts only on March 21st, when the Sun enters the sign of Aries, opening a new trip throughout the Zodiac. But since most of us are more tuned to the traditional calendar, it's never too late to wish you all light, love and understanding for this brand new year.A new year reminds new things, new beginnings, new resolutions. I confess I am not very prone to new year's

Yes, Saturn scares. The ones who have already been introduced to astrology through a reading know that very well. They know they'll have problems. They know that something is going to happen, that they will lose their jobs, their loved ones or their health. They know that they'll get depressed or apathetic, and they'll want to die. Of course there's an exaggeration here, but it's more or less
