Earth, Air, Fire, Water – What’s Your Temperament?
Christopher LaFond: Most of us are familiar with the four major elements that come mainly from Mediterranean paganism and philosophy. But these elements are also the basic astrological building blocks in an individual’s “temperament,” which determines personality and health prospects, as well as establishes a basis for predicting how someone will respond throughout their life to astrological influences. This workshop examines how these simple building blocks come together in a person’s astrological chart and how prediction may be done with them. We'll examine the charts of as many participants as possible in the time we have. If you have your chart, bring it; if you know your time and place of birth, I’ll provide your chart during the workshop. No prior astrological knowledge is necessary.
