Comments From Students Themselves
 Steve's Oct '98 Student Group
  
If you do not have time to read everything, 
take note of the highlighted comments in bold text.


  I can certainly recommend taking the lessons regarding learning to 
   read the dial if you haven't already as I had never used one before 
   and am now able to see what I couldn't in the beginning.  It has 
   taken me time, but with Steve's great teaching, patience and 
   encouragement I am well on the way. There are lots of good 
   articles on the Uranian site which I have found very helpful along 
   with being a member of the 101 group. 
 
 

 My partner (an astrologer) has been trying to explain the concept of mid-points and the
         90 degree dial to me for months.  I've read several of the introductory books you have
         listed on the web page for beginners. And I've looked at the software that generates the
         charts.  But it was not until I took your lesson one and actually spun the dial myself 
         and saw the symmetry of the planetary pictures that it finally clicked for 
         me and made sense. 
 

I really liked the opportunity to get my feet wet with the other 
dials, and the comparison of the different dials with each other was very 
enlightening for me.  Makes me want to explore the 45 and 22.5 dials more! 
 
 
 

   Some more things clicked,  I am really enjoying the lessons and plan 
to spend more time with Uranian Astrology after the first of the year when 
things slow down at work again.  Thanks Steve for the opportunity to learn 
this fascinating form of astrology.  I have found explainations for things 
in my life that traditional astrology just did not show. 
 
 
 

   I really enjoyed this assignment Steve, I feel I have learned a lot as far as being able 
to  “look” and place objects in a chart - not such a linear way of 
thinking now. I  could have put a lot more comments into 9b but am not 
sure how much you  want in these answers - would you prefer us to keep 
them brief or are you  happy for long and involved answers? 

 Thankyou again for you patience and willingness to give up so much of 
 your time. 
 
 

   You are putting so much into this course so I am very happy and 
    prepared to take advantage to learn so much more about astrology.  I actually put 
more time in as regards study of this subject in general.  I get into bed 
with my astrology books and notes and work on them this way as well as 
sitting at my computer during the day.  This knowledge is like food to me 
(good nourishment for my brain) 
 
 
 

   I thought the assignment was GREAT!   It allows you to see just what 
we know and don't know. :-)   Excellent method, I know this took a lot of 
thought on your part. Steve, you really are a good teacher!.... <G> 
 
 
 

   We thoroughly enjoyed this assignment. We were really impressed how 
you led us into making some great discoveries and for me really gave me a 
deductive way of understanding the mechanics of mid point and Uranian 
astrology. I am a person who needs an intellectual understanding of why 
things are done so I can see the over view of how the system works, then 
comes the interpretation. This assignment was great and gave me that step 
by step overview. For Liz - she is better at the pictures and clicked into 
this form of astrology assignments ago, she too really enjoyed the step by 
step discovery. Without Liz, I would have been struggling. Now after this 
assignment I have really got it , not to say I was totally in the dark 
before just floundering a bit. You've done a great job and a big 
THANK-YOU. 
 
 

   ON LOOKING AT A VERY GOOD ARTICLE ON THE ARCHIVE  - A Beginners' Guide by Scott dated 2 Nov 1997) AFTER HAVING PREPARED ALL THIS I SEE THAT I COULD HAVE PERHAPS CONDENSED THIS INTERPRETATION A BIT.  I HAVE FOUND THIS ARTICLE TO BE VERY HELPFUL AND WILL USE IT FURTHER IN MY FUTURE INTERPRETATIONS.  I DECIDED TO FORWARD THIS AS IS AS IT IS GOOD PRACTICE. 
 

  What comments do you have about this assignment ?  EXCELLENT AS I HAVE NOW BEEN INTRODUCED TO THE OTHER DIALS BESIDES THE 90 DEGREE DIAL.  THE INFORMATION AND ANSWERS FROM THE PREVIOUS ASSIGNMENT WERE OF IMMENSE HELP TO ME IN WORKING ON THIS ASSIGNMENT.  I HAVE THOROUGHLY ENJOYED DOING THIS WORK AND HOPE THAT WHAT I HAVE WRITTEN HERE IS CORRECT AND THEN I WILL KNOW THAT I AM PROGRESSING WITH MY LEARNING AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE URANIAN TECNIQUES. THANKS STEVE FOR THE TIME AND EFFORT YOU ARE PUTTING INTO THESE LESSONS - I APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH - RAYLEE 
 
 

   Thanks for all the hard work you have put into our assignments and the 
MASS of new info on the webpage. I printed it all out and can't wait to 
read it - just have to find the time! The course is great fun - enjoying 
it! 
 
 

   I AM STILL AS EXCITED AS EVER TO CONTINUE WITH THIS LEARNING AND HAVE BEEN ABLE TO OBTAIN A 90 DEGREE DIAL WHICH HAS BEEN COPIED FOR ME WHICH MADE THIS ASSIGNMENT EASIER TO SEE. I HOPE I AM IMPROVING IN WHAT I SEE. 
 
 

   It is just incredible how powerful and insightful this technique is! 
Thank you so much for offering to teach me! 
 
 
 

   I am enjoying learning with you and thank you once again for being patient 
and giving your time to teach us. 
 
 

   I really wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all the work you 
are doing to keep up the lists from your home computer.  I am finding the 
Mid101 list very interesting, and although I am not posting much at this 
time, because my books have not arrived yet and most of what you folks 
talk about is a little difficult to me, I do print most posts to keep as 
reference later. 
 
 

   Again, I thank you for your wonderful course.  You are very helpful, 
supportive and a gifted teacher.  This shines through even in email! 
 
 
 
 

   Just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for all the hard work 
you've been putting into these assignments, along with all your other 
duties as moderator of these lists.  I honestly don't know how you do it! 
Considering how long it takes me to do the assignments, I can only imagine 
how much time you're spending on this.  How do you find the time to have a 
life??? 

At any rate, with the help of these assignments, which are forcing me to 
take the time and actually *work* with the dial and push myself past the 
fear of not being able to interpret what I find, I am learning at an 
increasing pace!  It's so easy to get overwhelmed by this subject, and 
having the guidance to focus in on one area at a time is giving me more 
courage to actually get right in there and *do* it!  Before, I just didn't 
know where to begin. 

May many blessings be heaped upon you! 
 
 

   I'm starting to find out that Munkasey's book gives a better idea of the 
meaning of the MPs then Rules or Cosi. It's a very good book. 
 
 

  I have read all of the material you wrote on Answers to Assignment 2, 
including your expanded general comments, and it has been an enlightening 
 learning experience indeed. 
 

   I understand clearly that I´m hurrying in the process of learning and this 
is no good. But I want to tell you also how impressed I am seeing all what 
you put for make me your generous corrections. I will try to go more 
slowly (the problem is with my uranian kind of being: Su conj Me over Asc. 
opp. Ur). 
 
 

   I am understanding more as each week goes by. 
   I love this class and am enjoying every minute of it. 
 

  Thank you again for being so patient with me. 
I truly enjoyed this assignment.  It was good to work the dial with my own 
chart and I loved the progression exercise. 
 
 

  Studiyng Uranian makes me feel as if I was beginning to study astrology 
again, I'm having the same feelings of ... But I did it, and I'm happy, I've done it. Believe me you won't get rid of me so soon.  And more than everything: A MILLION THANKS FOR POSTING MY HINTS AND FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!!!! 
 
 

   Although my understanding of how to read 
 these pictures is very limited and to say honestly that it is feeling 
 rather difficult and foreign to me--I am proud of what I have accomplished 
 to this point. I was ready to drop out... 
 
 

   This has taken us about 4 hrs to do. we are enjoying it and tho it can be 
frustrating at times we are learning heaps. Thank you so very much Steve. 
 
 

   Thanks for another enjoyable educational experience ! 
 

   I KEEP REFERRING TO THE MATERIAL FROM YOUR SITE AS WELL AS 
COSI AND AM ENJOYING LEARNING SOMETHING NEW.

I am enjoying the list so very much.......and learning in the process.  I 
have "Rules....." ordered and confirmed to be here within a couple of 
weeks.  One more step on the path.... 
 

  Your assignment made me to reread the Uranian books I have and the 
responses and answers from your students are very wonderful. Many selected 
quotes are interesting. 
 
 
 

  I have not allowed myself to start on the assignment until the last moment 
as the information is riveting.  As I find info, I search for more... and 
the cycle begins.  I want to have time to apply the little I know to the 
charts closest to me, but cannot allow myself that luxury for now.  It's 
hard to tear myself away from the computer.  I haven't been able to order 
the dial and books yet, but shall get to it this week. 
 
 
 

  This lesson was much easier – however I had problems completing it 
because I kept getting distracted – looking at this chart and that.  I 
think, all in all it took between one and two hours for the core 
assignment, but really I spent many days on it – I have been having way 
too much fun with this! 
 
 
 

... more time to ponder question #2 -- which I have actually been having a 
very interesting time with.  I have at my elbow -- including your Internet 
references -- COSCI, Rules..., the Dial Detective and the Phoenix Workshop 
book.  I am having my books sent down from Nova Scotia so I should have 
the rest of my books including Munkasky's (which I just learned is out of 
print), and the Harding, Harvey books.  The more I get the feel of this, 
the more hooked I am -- 
 
 
 
 

  This assignment was MUCH easier, though it still took several 
hours....mainly due to my insatiable appetite for research and devouring 
more information.   I want to know and understand it all... YESTERDAY. 
Your interim e-mails have immensely helped to clarify the concepts for 
this raw beginner.   Thank you, Steve for your dedication and the enormous 
amount of time you must put into our education... not to mention the other 
sites.  Do you "work" or "play" in another capacity elsewhere? 
 
 
 

Thank you for giving and compiling these lessons. I am finally getting 
down to learning Uranian Astrology along with the dial, thanks to you. 
 
 

The reading and research were well 
worth the effort.  I have just received "The Dial Detective" and will be 
getting other books and tools soon.  I think that many things clicked with 
this lesson.  Thanks for the effort. 
 
 
 

  MOST OF ALL, THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROUS SHARING OF YOUR TIME AND KNOWLEDGE TO OTHERS.  YOU WILL BE REWARDED IN WAYS THAT YOU MAY NEVER KNOW. 
 
 
 

  I can *hardly wait* until my books 
get here! In the meantime, I can read _Directions_.  We are having trouble getting _Dial Detective_.  Thanks so much Steve, for all your helpful emails!  You are really an 
ambitious person and it is much appreciated. 
 
 

  During these days I was reading the "Dial Detective" and also I was practising with a 90º dial that Mary Downing had send to me when I requested her for buying the Journals of the NGCR about "Uranian Astrology" and Dials, telling to her that I was one of your students. I use the "WinStar 90º Dial chart" (of Mother Teresa), and I fixed to it the 90º dial sent by Downing. It works fine !!! I used nearly all the possible time you gave to us trying to obtain more information for answer the questions. I can say that now I´m a little more trustful using the 90º dial, and over all I feel that you are teaching to us the letters of a new language, this powerful instrument which is the use of Midpoints and Planetary Pictures systematically, integrating them in the vision of the natal chart attained with the dials. 
 
 

I have learned more "astrology" in the past two weeks than I have learned in the past 20 years.  The assignment was not difficult but it took me a long, long time because I couldn't stop reading about other "Uranian Stuff". A huge "thank you" to you!  I have been doing "Astrological Consulting" for many years and was completely burned out (stopped answering my phone because I couldn't bear taking another appointment with yet another chart). I am completely revitalized and am as excited about our profession as I was 25 years ago.  I have you to thank for that! 
 

Its a lot easier apart from question 6. We have the info off the web sites 
as well as Dial a Detective to use as reference material. Its starting to 
fall into place thank goodness. We are really enjoying discovering this 
new way of looking at astrology. 
 
 

Finally, THANK YOU FOR ALL THE ENERGY YOU ARE TRANSMITING TO US. 
                     YOU HAVE A GREAT HEART. 
 
 

  Believe me, even though I never see you, since I became one of your 
students, I´m continuously thinking about you and our group. I feel that 
you are doing a very important work for the expansion of the Uranian 
Astrology through the whole world (and for our knowkledge), and perhaps 
some day, some of us can help you in that purposse. 

 I want to tell you also that I have in front of me the 
"Dial Detective"-  (I got it)-, I´m finishing it but I feel that I need 
something more... .  I´m doing plans for buying other Uranian books. In 
the mean time I continue reading all what you indicated us in the Web for 
the answers of the Second Assignment. I use "Matrix Winstar" and I´m 
trying to understand the "Midpoints Sorts of 90º, 45º & 22.5 Dials".


 
 

...AND  MORE COMMENTS FROM STUDENTS 


           I'm looking forward to the next assignment.  It's fun. 

           This is a good first assignment.  It got me using a dial and using the 
           word pictures.  What more could I ask? 

           It is just incredible how powerful and insightful this technique is! 
           Thank you so much for offering to teach me! 

           Thanks for offering the course -- this is my first introduction to Uranian 
           Astrology, and it is *so* exciting! Seems like really powerful stuff!!! 
           As I have no reference books on this, I had to plough through a lot of Web 
           printouts.  Enjoying it! 

           Thank you! Dial work is real fun! My kids enjoyed it even more than me.
           put the chart and dial on a wooden box and they decided it was "a safe 
           with a combination lock".   :-) 

           I like the way you helped getting to the answer it 
           gave me confidence to complete. 

           Dial part was easy... 

           Just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for all the hard work 
           you've been putting into these assignments, along with all your other 
           duties as moderator of these lists.  I honestly don't know how you do it! 
           Considering how long it takes me to do the assignments, I can only imagine 
           how much time you're spending on this. 

           At any rate, with the help of these assignments, which are forcing me to 
           take the time and actually *work* with the dial and push myself past the 
           fear of not being able to interpret what I find, I am learning at an 
           increasing pace!  It's so easy to get overwhelmed by this subject, and 
           having the guidance to focus in on one area at a time is giving me more 
           courage to actually get right in there and *do* it!  Before, I just didn't 
           know where to begin. 

           May many blessings be heaped upon you! 

           This assignment took approximately 45 minutes.  It took a bit of time to 
           teach my eyes to read the dial.  Initially it seemed impossible.  Once I 
           saw the first planetary picture and understood what I was looking for, the 
           rest of the assignment flew much more quickly. 

           I have always found midpoints interesting but never really gone deep 
           into it, so I really look forward to learn some more about this subject. 

           I have bought the following books (but not read them all yet !!) : 
           - midpoint interpretation simplified. Svalan 
           -the combination of stellar influences . Ebertin 
           -patterns of destiny.  Kimmel 
           -applied Cosmobiology. Ebertin 
           -fundamentals of cosmobiology. Kimmel 

           I finally got hold of "Fundamentals of Cosmobiology" at UAC in Atlanta a 
           few months ago, and on Friday started studying it. 
 

           I still don't understand the HOW's and WHY's.  But after taking this first lesson I finally
           see that it does work.  I finally get the concept of a mid- point in a way that no book or
           software program can substitute. There is no substitute for doing the work. 

           Your instructions are very clear. ...  Again, there is no substitute for 
           doing the work and studying the information. 

           Thank you for these wonderful lessons. >> 
 
 
 

           The level of the assignment appears 
           proper for students who are acquainted with astrology, like myself, but 
           lack formal training in the uranian techniques. 

           Thank you very much for your kind attention 
           I will soon be applying for membership to your uranian group.  I was 
           impressed by the material in your web site. 

           appreciate your extra effort on the newbie's behalf.   I feel like I'm 
           ALMOST getting it, and I continue to be intrigued. 

           Thanks for offering the course -- this is my first introduction to Uranian 
           Astrology, and it is *so* exciting! Seems like really powerful stuff!!! 
 
 

           I AM STILL AS EXCITED AS EVER TO CONTINUE WITH THIS 
LEARNING  AND  HAVE BEEN ABLE TO OBTAIN A 90 DEGREE DIAL 
WHICH HAS BEEN COPIED FOR ME WHICH MADE THIS ASSIGNMENT 
EASIER TO SEE. I HOPE I AM IMPROVING IN WHAT I SEE. 



           I am enjoying learning with you and thank you once again for being patient 
           and giving your time to teach us. 
 

           I really wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all the work you 
           are doing to keep up the lists from your home computer.  I am finding the 
           Mid101 list very interesting, and although I am not posting much at this 
           time, because my books have not arrived yet and most of what you folks 
           talk about is a little difficult to me, I do print most posts to keep as 
           reference later. 
 

           Again, I thank you for your wonderful course.  You are very helpful, 
           supportive and a gifted teacher.  This shines through even in email!
