Uranus is going to be difficult. I gave it to my computerized go-to and even then had no idea which little dot it was. But, so far, you are making good progress. Congratulations. Different people relate to different supporting information - books versus websites or both - but how are you planning your sessions? Do you keep a notebook?

Hi Mike. Very little planning involved in my sessions! I can understand the advantages of keeping a notebook but I haven’t done so yet as I’m generally lazy when it comes to keeping records.
