FROM OPA’s MONTHLY SPEAKER SERIES – RECORDED JULY 14 2024
In the early 2000s, I accidentally became a wedding date specialist, putting myself through college by electing astrologically fortuitous wedding dates for frazzled couples. It was a a niche that filled up my appointment calendar for about 14 years, until I realized I had started fantasizing about choosing divorce dates instead. But folks are still getting married, and they can benefit from having an astrologer (you?) choose a good date for the wedding. In this presentation, I share the philosophy, research, and practical techniques that I used to choose hundreds of wedding dates – with (happily) very little repeat business.
