I'm heading to Chicago as a student, a content creator... an astrology goblin who still can't fully believe he's punching the ticket and taking the ride. On September 9th, after a week chock full of in-depth seminars and lectures, I will be sitting for my NCGR-PAA Level I Certification exam. The days prior will see me sharing updates and recaps with the rest of the Astro Goblins while I figure out how to use my fancy new video camera in real time. Expect pre-conference prep, on-site coverage, and whatever else happens when 1,500 astrologers take over a hotel in downtown Chicago... I suspect Malört may make a guest appearance.
