Evolutionary Astrologer: Fairlie Theta Workshop A strology is more than a horoscope in a magazine, it’s a complex language system that can provide the tools to grow and thrive. Blossoming into Light is excited to announce that Fairlie Theta will be offering a workshop and astrological and transit chart readings on March 28. Using a person’s unique personal information, evolutionary astrologer, Fairlie Theta, casts a natal chart and walks them through the energies they carry into this life and the directions they’re asked to explore. The sessions, which must be booked and paid for in advance, will last between 45 to 50 minutes. Participants receive a reading of the chart along with a copy to take home.
The workshop, held at 3:00 p.m., delves into how astrology can be a valuable tool for personal and spiritual development. It’s designed to help participants translate the language of astrology and help to decode the secrets of one’s personal chart and its implications for the higher self, creative potential and their interactions with the world. Registration includes materials. Please provide place of birth, date, and time of birth at registration. Cost: $111 for astrology session with chart; $50 for workshop. Location: Blossoming into Light, 31 Fairmount Avenue, Suite 105, Chester. For the astrological reading, contact Sue or Leslie at 862-222-4268 or email Info@BlossomingIntoLight-Chester.com.

Working with Universal Energy in 2020: Year of the Metal Rat I n Chinese astrology, 2020 is the Year of the Rat and marks a fresh beginning of the 12-year cycle. Coupled with the vernal equinox, this is a double beginning this year, making it the perfect time for a life reset. From noon to 4 p.m., on March 21, the Metaphysical Center of New Jersey is pleased to present a workshop featuring philosophy teacher and 25th generation Taoist spiritual healer, Dr. Mei Jin Lu, who will combine teachings respecting the vernal equinox and the Year of the Metal Rat. This is an opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of Eastern healing modalities and will focus on planning important events. In this packed-full workshop, Lu will cover how the Year of the Metal Rat will affect people, society and the environment, including this year’s dramatic impact on thinking and behavior patterns, when to manifest goals and how to avoid negative patterns.
Additionally, she will delve into how the energy of the spring equinox can assist in removing blocks and releasing negative energy in order to progress. One can take this opportunity to renew interests and passions that have been hibernating through the winter.
Combining the symbolism of the above traditional observances of the spring equinox, with the Year of the Metal Rat tips and guidance, will energize the year and provide the tools to effectively plan important activities with a high confidence of success.

Structural Integration for Shoulder Release W hether it’s from an exercise injury, sitting at the computer or excessive driving, life can take a toll on the body. Structural Integration therapy can help relieve chronic aches and pains for whole-body, lasting relief. On March 17, from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m., Ed Hemberger, certified in Structural Integration, will be leading a short presentation and demonstration on how this groundbreaking therapy works to release the shoulder girdle.
Structural Integration was created by Ida Rolf, a New York biochemist who studied alternative methods of body work and healing in the 1920s. Rolf believed that aches and pains arise from basic imbalances in posture and alignment, which are reinforced over time by gravity and learned responses among muscles and fascia, the sheath-like connective tissue that surrounds and binds muscles. This therapy allows a person to “restructure” muscles and fascia.
The shoulder is a complex structure of muscles and tendons. With all of these moving parts, it’s easy for things to go wrong. Structural integration lengthens the fascia, which brings alignment back to the structure and allows for range of motion. Hemberger explains, “This form of body therapy has not only helped me in treating my patients, but was the paramount factor in their recovery.” It helps relieve tension in the body as it becomes more balanced and symmetrical, allowing bones and muscles to do their proper jobs. Cost: $10. Location: Flowers Healing Arts, 460 Bloomfield Avenue, Montclair. For more information and to RSVP, call 973-462-3112 or visit HembergerStructuralIntegration.com. See ad, page 24.
