Eclipses Have Special Significance

Christine Arens, PTMAFA, one of the foremost astrology teachers in the world, will conduct a seminar titled 2017 Eclipses and How They Are Used, from 2 to 4 p.m., February 4, at the Edgar Cayce Holistic Center and Bookstore, located within Unity Northwest Church. Participants will learn about eclipses and their subtle meanings and get a head start on them in 2017, including a total solar eclipse on August 21 with a path going directly over the United States with its peak near St. Louis.

                Eclipses are rare but regular astronomical events when the Earth lines up exactly with both the Sun and the Moon. They usually occur in pairs—a solar eclipse accompanied by a lunar one—and there are usually two sets per year. Some basic information on what eclipses are and how they take place are part of the presentation.

                Arens is certified as both a professional and teaching astrologer through the American Federation of Astrologers.

Cost is $25, or $20 for Association for Research and Enlightenment (A.R.E.) members. Location: Unity Northwest Church, 259 E. Central Rd., Des Plaines. For more information and to make a reservation, call 847-299-6535. See ad on page 20 and in the Community Resource Guide.
