I was once a skeptic until I read my tarot, I Ching, and had an astrological reading done the same day. All the messages had a strong connecting thread and my inflated rationality took a humble bow.
Welcome Joyce,
Glad you found and joined the Alliance. there are several members who are part of our Astrology group so you may want to check what they are discussing these days. Also through the many other blogs, forums, and groups other areas of interest or even new interests may be found. Again, welcome and I look forward to your posts.

Hi Joyce. A warm welcome to the Alliance. Once you have a chance to explore the online community a bit, I think you'll find a dynamic group of likeminded people who are all highly intrigued by the field of depth psychology. And, while there are many Jungian analysts, clinicians, and psychologists here, our members come from many walks of life--artists, writers, doctors, healing professionals, counselors, students, business people, etc--so there is much cross-disciplinary knowledge and experience here to be shared.
On that note, I hope you're finding opportunities to engage as you browse the vast content and interact with others. You may want to consider joining the online book club if you haven’t already—There's a new author each month, and you can jump in at anytime and participate at whatever level you wish. February brings a wonderful new book from Jungian Analyst Erel Shalit as well as a special online study group on Astrology with long-time astrologer Kathleen Burt.
Meanwhile, I see you're in the Bay Area so you may want to join "Bay Area Hive" (under groups) to get updates and connect with people here. We're planning our first in-person meetup and speaker evening in Marin on March 23, so it should be a great opportunity to actually get some in-person connection. You can see more about the event in the Events section, too.
