I've learned so much already and I'm not even through the first DVD. Thank you so much Madalyn! These DVDs are really important for people like me - thank you, thank you, thank you! Madhavii Shirman, Colorado.

“Thank you for all of the help you've given me over the years. I love the program (it really is 'user friendly'), but, as I'm sure you've guessed by now, I am a bit ‘technologically challenged'-I just couldn't have managed without you-you have the patience of a saint!” Suzanne Shapiro, Florida

“After years of self-study in astrology, I took Madalyn’s course. Her teaching has inspired and taught me more then anything else I have studied thus far. Her style of teaching Solar Fire and astrology was so easy. I wish I had met her years ago! Paula Grippi, California
