Instruction
Instruction
Tutorials offer individualized instruction, and the opportunity to work specifically with charts of your choosing. I tailor each session to the interest and level of the student. No prior knowledge of astrology is necessary. Whether you be interested in doing chart interpretations for friends and family, or if you wish to practice professionally, I can help you develop your astrological skills to that aim.
I offer sessions ongoing or one at a time. I usually begin by working directly with the student's chart as a model (unless otherwise requested), so it is also a great way to get to study your own chart in depth. Frequency and pacing are up to you. These tutorials are offered both via phone and in person.
All sessions include a CD recording mailed to you, or an MP3 file sent to you via email as requested. With the four or ten session packages, you also receive a packet of useful handouts and sample charts.
Rates:
One-Hour Session: $50
Package of Four Sessions: $180 (10% discount)
Package of Ten Sessions: $400 (20% discount)

Private Instruction
Have you ever attempted to read your own birth chart, and found you just didn’t know where to begin? Or, have you always been curious about astrology, but found books on the topic to be complex and incomprehensible? If so, these teleclasses are for you (see info to the right on teleclasses).
Each class module will focus on a different topic of astrology. Included will be visual aids, downloadable chart examples, and/or specific hands-on demonstrations of the techniques discussed. There will also be a 15-minute period devoted to Q & A. Class sessions are 90 minutes, and are conducted via phone.
Note: All classes require a minimum of 6 students, and have a maximum enrollment of 10 students.
Module 1: Planets and Signs
This module is geared toward those with an interest in learning the basics of astrology. No previous experience is required. We will explore the archetypes of each planet and sign, and begin interpreting the placements of planets within different signs.
Module 2: Houses and Beginning Interpretation
This module delves into the meanings of the houses, and we begin to combine the interpretation of planets, signs and houses. This is the first step toward chart synthesis, and necessary in order to read a natal chart.
Module 3: Introduction to Aspects
Aspects between planets in the natal chart add an important layer to interpretation. This module illustrates how aspects to our personal planets and Ascendant give us more information as to how these planets function within the natal chart.
Module 4: Introduction to The Nodes
The nodes are used in evolutionary astrology to offer insight into the past-life and karmic situation coming to bear on the present incarnation. The awareness of the soul experience in the past, represented by the south node, and the “medicine” offered by the north node, offer an integral facet of evolutionary chart interpretation.

Leisa ReFalo’s Teleclasses with
Leisa ReFalo’s teleclasses with Robert Place are an exceptional opportunity to learn from a gifted tarot reader and artist. I had the pleasure of taking the teleclass on “Dream Divination,” which I found fascinating and helpful in my own work with dreams.
Leisa has also produced a CD-Rom of the class materials for “The Symbolism of Alchemy” course taught by Robert. I found the CD-Rom, which includes all the audio of the teleclass plus bonus materials and an accompanying booklet, to be a great way to educate myself on the symbols of alchemy. I highly recommend it.
