FROM OPA’s MONTHLY SPEAKER SERIES – RECORDED SEPT 22 2024
One of the main reasons Melanie has stuck with a quadrant-based house system for years is the important insights that can be gleamed from intercepted houses and planets. In this talk, Melanie will explore the significance of intercepted houses and planets and how they can leave a remarkable imprint upon the personality and life events of individuals.

Melanie has been studying astrology for 20 years and seeing clients for over 13 years. She’s a certified graduate and teacher through the Canadian Astrological Association for Education (CAAE), a former CAAE board member, and has lectured across Canada and the U.S. for organizations such as Kepler College, ISAR, AFAN, NCGR and Astrology Toronto. She also has a Diploma in Horary Astrology from the School of Traditional Astrology. Her approach to astrology is a blend of modern Western techniques, traditional techniques, and a heavy dose of 17th century astrology based on the methods of Jean Baptiste Morin de Villefranche. She also believes strongly in chart rectification and puts a lot of time (and heart) into her clients to ensure their birth times are bang on. A former college writing teacher, career advice writer, communications specialist and singer-songwriter, Melanie holds a Master’s degree in Professional Writing and Communications. Her latest astrological adventure is founding and leading a local astrology group in southern Ontario, Canada—Astrology Niagara.
