Arielle Guttman

Arielle Guttman began her formal studies in astrology in 1974 in San Diego, California. In 1980 she founded Astro Originals, a consulting firm utilizing astrological teaching tools. Based in Santa Fe since 1986, Arielle's work primarily focuses on private one-to-one client sessions, group seminars and writing books on astrological subjects. Arielle is conversant in the many fields of astrology.

SEMINARS IN GREECE
Arielle frequently hosts seminars in mythological astrology at the cultural center, Ariadne's Thread, in the quaint village of Galaxidi, near the ancient shrine of Delphi. The Centre is a place where the spirit of antiquity's art can be profoundly experienced. Encircled by the sea and mountains, this beautiful area is rich with mythological treasure -- both past and present.
To inquire about upcoming seminars, please call (505) 984-8330. The Sophia Center of Santa Fe will be sponsoring future trips to this ancient and beautiful site. Check our website for upcoming tours to Greece.

HOW CAN ASTROLOGY HELP ME?
Understanding the roles of planetary cycles and their effect is profoundly helpful in making informed decisions as we move through our lives, exercising the power of free will and individual choice. One of Arielle's goals as an astrologer is to give her clients objective feedback on what they are currently experiencing and why.

ARIELLE'S ASTROLOGICAL SERVICES

The Natal Chart
Sometimes called one's "blueprint," the natal (birth) chart displays the pattern of planets in the sky at the moment of one's birth. Shown in this chart are individual needs, drives, character strengths, and potential for growth. It may also reflect challenges or obstacles to be overcome. Personal issues, career direction, well-being, and family ties are some of the areas outlined in a natal reading.

The Progressed Chart
Our lives are not static, nor is the universe which is in a constant state of flux. Astrologically, those changes are reflected in a system of planetary advancements called transits and progressions. In this session, you will learn what the current and upcoming planetary cycles are and what the major focus in your life might be over the next year or two.

Relationship Charts This branch of astrology deals with comparing ourselves to those who are significant in our lives. A composite chart examines the life experience and merging energies of a couple. Chart comparison is utilized to reflect back the unique qualities that each person might exchange with the other. Relationship charting may be done for anyone who has a profound effect upon our lives. For more informatoin about this type of astrology, see Arielle's book Astro Compatibility.

Relocation Astrology
Arielle teaches astro mapping to astrological audiences throughout the world. In personal consultations, Arielle discusses planetary strengths and weaknesses through many different locational map formats. When Arielle co-authored The Astro*Carto*Graphy Book of Maps in 1989 with the late astro mapping pioneer Jim Lewis, this type of astrology was a small part of the entire field. Today it is one of the most sought-after areas of astrological inquiry.

The Mythic Horoscope
The planets in our solar system are named for ancient deities, whose myths and stories can enrich our own life understanding. When archetypal energies are strongly stated in our charts, they act through us, whether we are consciously aware or not. In this session, Arielle explores your planets and asteroids as archetypal symbols that may be instantly recognizable from dreams, visions, and the arts. Arielle's book, Mythic Astrology (Kenneth Johnson, co-author) explores this type of astrology in depth.

Astro Dream Work
This session uses your astrological birth chart and its rich archetypal and mythological symbolism to better understand your dreams.
