OPA celebrated and honored
our practice at the I-Astrologer
event in Athens, Georgia with
poetry, speeches, and prizes. It is a
true celebration for us to have this
week-long event sold out, as a tes-
tament of the growing movement
to increase standards and a support
system for our profession.
Looking ahead OPA will be con-
ducting elections for our new board
early May for the next two year term.
We hope to continue this journey
with a strong and dedicated team to
take OPA, and astrology as a whole,
to the next level. OPA is already
working on exciting new projects,
including the 2017 Retreat. More
details about the election process will
be provided in the coming weeks.
Our Astrology conference in the
original Athens, in Greece, is pick-
ing up beautifully, with participants
joining from Norway, Turkey, Israel,
the UK, the US, and perhaps even
from Greece (we truly hope!) You will
find in this edition of the magazine
interviews with some of the speak-
ers for the event, who are bringing
truly compelling insights into their
presentations.
We hope you will enjoy this new edition
of the Career Astrologer, preparing you
for mighty Mars Retrograde!
Make sure to check out the new col-
umn on horary astrology and the exciting
new articles.
Maurice Fernandez
President, OPA
The OPA team
would like to offer
everyone blessings
on the vernal equinox,
and wishes for a
happy, healthy,
first quarter
of the cycle!
