"As I found out , Astrology is a language of its own. I was awestruck at this woman's knowledge, and enthralled by discovering what the planets in my chart mean and how I'm likely to experience certain cycles in my life. I'm now well on my way to understanding the language. Great fun!"
Megan K., Caulfield, private student 2004, Holmesglen TAFE 2005
