NCGR-PAA Workshop at UAC: The Practice & Profession of Astrology

paa-workshop-image

NCGR-PAA invites you to our PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP!

In this panel discussion, leading professional astrologers in the astrological community will present what the working astrologer needs to know: 

from first contact with the client, to the follow up consultation and beyond!

  • On the human side of the practice of astrology, we will help you develop consulting skills to communicate with the client more effectively and compassionately.
  • On the business side of the practice, we will help you with marketing strategies, publicity measures, rates, payment policies and what you need to know to run a successful career in astrological consulting.
  • As part of the "how to" of becoming a professional astrologer, we will discuss the advantages of mentoring and what a mentor can do to help you strengthen your consulting skills.
  • And we will discuss the benefits of certification and the details of our own Certification Exam &  Program, the prize jewel of NCGR-PAA!

 

Our presenters will include Madalyn Hillis-Dineen, Joyce Levine, John Marchesella, Maria Kay Simms and Joe Polise, as well as YOU, our student and participants in a question and answer forum.

An Important Message About Updates to the NCGR-PAA

Dear PAA Community,

In keeping with changes enacted as of February 1, 2011, when PAA ceased to be a membership organization, we will no longer support "Member" profiles on this website (as of January 31, 2012).  Modules for logging in to your profile page or "The Speakers Bureau" will be taken down.  Previously, these profile pages were a benefit of the $45.00 annual membership fee, along with other membership benefits.  When PAA became a non-membership organization, profiles were left up as a courtesy for those who had previously renewed their memberships or purchased a listing on our site.

Now, Test takers who pass any level of our exams (Levels I, II, III, or IV) are eligible to be listed on our web site according to their proficiency level of accomplishment.  Links to their individual professional web sites or email contact addresses are included with this listing and may be purchased for a nominal fee of $25.

If you have any questions regarding these changes, please don't hesitate to contact any member of the board, click here.

Loretta Lopez
Webmaster

 

NCGR & The Birth of the NCGR-PAA

Written by John Marchesella   
An Exercise in Mundane Astrology from Our Own Backyard
Astrology organizations have transits too.  And the ones that have been occurring in the natal chart of NCGR so accurately depict the recent establishment of NCGR-Professional Astrologers’ Alliance as well as the development of astrology in a larger social context.  This article is presented as a short and sweet example of mundane astrology in action.

Here’s the background:  The IRS audited NCGR on October 16, 2006, at which time, it was “suggested” that NCGR separate its professional promotional activities, including the Certification Program and the Professional Empowerment Program, from its other membership benefits, in order to create two distinct organizations.  This would ensure the latter’s non-profit status as an astrological education and research organization, as it always had been; and the former would be an organization for the purpose of trade and promotion for professional astrologers.
