Hey everyone. This is Adam Elenbaas from Nightlight Astrology. Today, we are going to take a look at the Sun in the sign of Virgo, squaring Jupiter in the sign of Gemini, and I'm going to share with you guys some insights that I have about this transit in light of a really interesting talk that I heard one time while I was on a pilgrimage in India. This is while I was a student and practitioner of bhakti yoga; as you all know, I took some vows, changed my name, and got really deeply immersed in the world and landscape of bhakti yoga for a couple of years; those experiences are still with me. Some of the most deeply valuable practices and insights from that time period in my life are still living inside of me.
The Jupiter Sun combination has long been associated with luminaries, people who are very wise or masterful with regard to a specific craft or trade or discipline a subject, and people who have extraordinary leadership qualities. Broadly speaking, the Jupiter Sun combination is associated with wisdom and with a kind of sagely quality.
So, I want to share with you some I look back at my notebook from when I was in India, and there was a talk that I was attending about the symptoms of sages, and it was given by an Indian guru that I listened to, and I found it very interesting.
So, I've taken some of those ideas and used them as a launchpad to look at the archetype of Jupiter in the Sun today. I think you guys will find this interesting because I want to talk a little bit about some of the most stereotypical things we see from Jupiter-Sun combinations, which you may notice today or this week, but also some of the deeper distinctions that might be made between the light and dark side of the Sun and Jupiter. So, I think this will be a really useful and interesting way of approaching the transit and also learning something new about the archetype. So that's what we're doing today.

I want to take you over to the website right now because our new program, Ancient Astrology for the Modern Mystic, launches coming up if you go to the Courses page launches November 16. registration is now open. As of Monday of this week, registration opened, and that means that in our first month of registration, we have a pre-registration, or a kind of early bird sale, going on.
If you scroll down to the bottom of the page, you'll see that we have an early bird payment that saves you several $100 off. We also have an early bird installment plan that allows for the monthly tuition plan payment to be significantly lower per month if you enroll between now and October 15; we also have tuition assistance available for people who need a little extra help and need a tier of payments per month for the program that works for you and your budget. We try to make sure no one's priced out of studying a sacred science. We have always been a big believer that this should be this information should be as accessible as possible. Now, you can learn more about the first-year course on that first-year page.
Next week, at the end of all of my videos, I will have an informational video tagged on. So, if you want to learn more about the course at the end of the program afterward, there will be an informational video as a ton of tagged-on bonus after the content is over for the day then the other thing that I recommend is, if you're brand new and you want to take this course but you're brand spanking new, try the astrology for beginners course. It's very accessible, it's very affordable, and it just gives you about eight hours to 10.
I'm still in the process of finishing the recordings, eight to 10 hours worth of introductory content that will set you up if you're, again, brand spanking new for the first-year course because we assume that people have a little bit of background coming into the first-year course. But anyhow, that's the gist of it.
To learn more about the program on this page. Informational video is coming next week. There's a video we have here if you want to hear from some of our alumni and them talking about the program. It is a really comprehensive, one-year program, uh, 30 courses on the year, two to three hours each live. Everything's recorded so you can follow along on your own, at your own pace, if you can't make the live webinars. Okay?
So, the other thing that I need to promote before we're done for now is on the events page. I will go to live talks next week, on Thursday night. My talk will be about Venus's 12 love languages. We're going to be looking at Venus through the signs of the zodiac, through all 12 signs, and talking about the specific kinds of karma or the story arcs that are present in our lives based on the sign position of Venus in our birth charts.
That is going to be a really helpful talk for people who want to go deeper and gain an understanding of the karma of love and relationships in your natal chart. So that's coming up next week.
On the 19th, you can register there under the Live Events page; if you'll, you'll get a link to attend live. And if you can't make it live, you get the recording. Okay?
So, promos are done for the day. Let's go on to our real-time clock to take a look at this. Jupiter. Sun square. So here we are, Thursday, September 12, and we can see that today, the Sun is going through the square to Jupiter. Now, this has been building over the course of the week. In fact, in many ways, the videos that I made to start this week, especially the videos about Pluto and Capricorn, have been reflective of the Sun-Jupiter dynamic in terms of reflecting on lessons learned and wisdom gained and the light and dark side of the wisdom of Pluto in Capricorn, in a sense, on a sort of, you know, a meta astrological level, the sun Jupiter square has been present in trying to gather insights about transit and the wisdom of that transit, right?
So it's like the tone or the mood earlier in the week of the videos I've already made have sort of reflected some of that Sun. I'm not saying they've been particularly wise, but the attempt to gather wisdom very Sun square Jupiter, Sun square Jupiter is often associated with gathering or collecting books, developing a library, gaining and amassing credentials, going to school, and getting multiple degrees, becoming proficient in multiple different skill sets.
This has to do with the fact that the Sun Jupiter is like that in general, but also that this Sun-Jupiter square is happening in Mercury-ruled signs where Mercury typically represents a multiplicity of things that we are learning or studying or trying to understand or develop as skills and so forth.
The sun Jupiter square can be associated with confidence and leadership, but it can also be associated with pride and, hubris, and arrogance. It can be about the ego getting inflated and thinking that you're better than everyone. It can also be about the need to act from a place of broader understanding, as opposed to a narrower or more limited understanding of something, to broaden our minds and to open them and to include multiple perspectives in the way that we make decisions or in the way that we do things.
That's a hallmark of sages, right? But just kind of broad-mindedness, the ability to see things from multiple perspectives simultaneously. I don't want to give away what we're going to talk about a little bit here, but part of this transit is also about illumination. Both Jupiter and the Sun were associated not only with kings and queens but also with emperors and empresses and people who stood in positions of authority. But remember that those positions of authority in the ancient world were also associated with being like an emissary or even actual embodiment of divine law and order.
So I'm not saying that you have to go we need to go back and have emperors and empresses and stuff like that, but it's just that a king or a queen or a leader was often thought of as the embodiment of karmic justice or karmic law. And, of course, insofar as we are human, we approximate but fall terribly short of that ideal, right?
But the idea is that this combination is about the embodiment of cosmic law, cosmic understanding, cosmic discernment, cosmic wisdom, and justice in a person, a sage, a leader, etc, ideally, right? And that's why there's a shadow as well. Because, as humans, we are souls. We're not archetypes. We approximate and embody ideals, but we do not literally occupy them. Otherwise, we wouldn't be souls.
So, in that sense, the shadow is also how we fall short of wisdom and the difference between wisdom and ignorance, or the difference between leadership and hubris, or the difference between wisdom and just being full of hot air and lots of opinions, you know.
So anyway, we have to keep a good sense of humor about ourselves, knowing that we all have the potential in any discipline, like if you're really good at, you know, if you're a really good veterinarian, or if you are just an incredible nurse, or if you're a really good teacher, you're good with kids, or you understand kids with special needs, no matter what our discipline, our craft, our trade, our understanding, if we don't keep in mind that tendency that we have to fall short or to fail or to not know everything, then this archetype tends to creep in as a sense of like, sort of like pompousness, or of an inability to admit that we're wrong right, or an inability to keep growing and learning, or a lack of humility or something like that. So these are some basic thoughts about the sun Jupiter square. Oh, I saw this banner up, don't I? These are just some very basic thoughts about the sun Jupiter square.
Now, if we take into consideration the three-degree range of separation, this separation will occur all the way until Sunday. So, between the early part of this week up until now, it's been building today, which is sort of the threshold of the exact square, and then between now and Sunday, it's separating. So you can notice these things have already taken place a little bit this week or as building and separating. Uh, today through the weekend.
So that is a little bit about the timeline of this transit. And what I'd like to do now is just riff off from this really interesting talk that I heard when I was on a pilgrimage in Mayapur, India, which is a place that is very much dedicated to a great saint in the bhakti yoga tradition. And I won't go into all that, but when I was there, one of the things that I did every day, in addition to going around to a lot of different holy places and sites of pilgrimage to pray and sing kirtan and stuff like that was that I heard some really interesting talks.
There would often be morning talks and evening talks. And I got to hear some, you know, in my opinion, some real luminaries within that tradition who have, you know, taken vows and dedicated their life to the study of shastra the scriptures, and have a really deep understanding of the philosophy of yoga. And so, regardless of whether or not you're into any of that, I think that you'll find some of these points to be great takeaways and that they really do feed right into the subject of the Sun square Jupiter. I look at this transit as an opportunity to reflect on where we are at within the development of our own mastery of the things we love and, know and practice.
For me, that's astrology, but for you, it could be music or nursing. For someone out there, it might be parenting; Jupiter Sun squares are a good moment to brighten our understanding of things and also to check in with ourselves and make sure that we are living in alignment with the principles and the symptoms, the real symptoms of sages. And so this talk was about how you recognize when someone, not just a spiritual person but any person in any field whatsoever, is like a luminary. What are their symptoms? How can you identify that someone is in possession of some degree of wisdom? Nobody's perfect, right? Nobody's like, we're not trying to deify anybody.
But how do you notice that someone is wise? These were things that this monk was saying, and you can notice them in spiritual people and spiritual teachers. But he was also expanding it to be like, how do you know? How can you recognize greatness or wisdom or mastery or a level of understanding that's really unique among people in any trap, craft, or trade because they all tend to exhibit the same things? And in a way, what I love that he said was that many people end up developing or cultivating the wisdom of sages in crafts and trades that, on the surface, look like they're not spiritual at all, like woodworking or something, but actually, the bond that you develop with your craft is a vehicle of devotion that is really no different from a spiritual practice in so far as the same symptoms of sages are that are present in spiritual traditions, are present in every other tradition, and end up cultivating and developing you spiritually.
And I love that point because I know so many people that I've met throughout my life who I consider deeply spiritual, who wouldn't really identify themselves that way. But one thing that they that I say, you know you could identify about them, is that the list we're going to look through the symptoms, these five symptoms of sages they exhibited in the things that they were doing with their life that may not have had anything to do with yoga or astrology or, you know, Reiki or whatever they're not, they're not, they're not, they're not necessarily Christians, or they're not identified with a religion. But time and time again, some of the people that I've considered to be sagely wise luminaries have a glow and a sense of having cultivated something special, some level of wisdom in their life; these same symptoms are at work in people all across the board.
So anyway, I hope you find this interesting number, one of the five symptoms of sages. Now, we're extending that idea of sage to be very broad. It doesn't have to be just spiritual. There might be a sage who is a nurse; there might be a sage who works with children, right? That's what we're talking about. So how do we know?
Number one, they hear the sound of their own voice. Now, I want to be clear that these points are; I'm literally kind of reconstructing them from my notebook that I took notes on while sitting in a temple. So, I am not the source of these wonderful insights, but I thought they were so wonderful that I wanted to share them with you.
Number one, they hear the sound of their own voice. This is actually something that I observed in my work with Ayahuasca many years ago as well. And. I actually heard a shaman one time say that the more you work with Ayahuasca, the more you will become aware of the sound, cadence, rhythm, and tone of your own voice. And you know that you're growing in part because as you're speaking, you become more aware of everything from the rhythm to the way that things are coming across, and you develop a kind of sensitivity or awareness to the sound of your own voice because you and this is something that was also mirrored in this gentleman's talk.
Sages are aware of the way they sound, and not in a contrived sense, like I gotta sound right, that if there's an edginess or a harshness or an aggressiveness or an arrogance or an impatience, you can hear it in your own voice, and when you are aware of that, and you can just Slowly and carefully shape things without sounding overly controlled or rigid or like you're trying to get something perfect. It's a very natural, easy way of shaping and controlling your delivery. It's like an awareness of how you're coming across and an awareness of your tone, you know, stuff like that.
The point that I like that he really made is that this is not a kind of hyper-consciousness. This is just an awareness you're hearing your own voice as you're speaking. That is a beautiful thing. And if you've, if you've ever been around someone who's really good at something like, like, super, super good at their instrument, or whatever the case may be, in the way that they talk about it, there is an awareness of how they're talking, of how they're speaking. This is fantastic.
One of the things that are a great shadow of the Sun square Jupiter is an abundance of information but an inability to be self-aware enough to know how to deliver that without sounding like you just know a ton of shit, like you just know a lot of stuff. The delivery, the way it's shaped, and the way it's conveyed are just as important as the actual information. That's wisdom.
Now, I'm not saying that because I'm so not. I just know so much about what wisdom is, but because I really know when this gentleman was giving this class and he said that, I go, Yeah, that rings true, and that feels very true to me.
So that's what I mean when I say that. But they hear the sound of their own voice, wise people, you know, again, whether you're a saint or you're a craftsman, craftswoman, that you you know that it's not just information, that it's the quality of the way in which you convey it, and that, that that the need for a kind of self-awareness in how you convey what you know.
Number two, they flow. Now, this is interesting because this goes along with number one, but the point that this teacher was making at this point in the talk is I understood it was that sage people seem like they're very, very controlled. On the outside, it looks like they're in control of everything, but on the inside, what's actually happening is there's a fluidity and adaptability and changeability and creativity that's happening at once that you have attended to, your discipline, your trade, your craft, your children, your relationship, yourself, your body, whatever the case might be that you've you have developed such intimacy with the space in which you are moving through as a teacher, or, again, a craftswoman, or whatever the case may be, that on the outside, people go, Wow, that person is totally in control. But that's not what your experience is on the inside.
Your experience on the inside is that you're moving and adapting and subtly and creatively moving with things as they're constantly changing. So one of the things like, if there's anything I'm good at, and I'm not saying I'm like the world's greatest or anything, but like, I've learned a lot about doing a good reading, you know, good astrology reading, at least, I think decent, you know.
So, anyhow, one of the things that some of the students will say in class is like, did you plan that all out? Did you know, like you were, you seemed like you were in total control of the situation and the reading and whatever? And I always say this: No, I'm, it's not that. It's just that I've done so many readings that it's very easy for me to adapt and creatively flow and change and shift as the reading is unfolding. It's like the illusion of control, you know, but it's actually just a familiarity and an ability to move and be fluid that you can't get from anything else than devotion and familiarity to doing something a lot and sages demonstrate that, which is actually a kind of intimacy that they have with whatever their subject or discipline or trade or ability is. And it looks like control, but it's familiarity, not control. It's flow, not control. The illusion is control, though; isn't that beautiful? God, I just thought that was so neat. And like, I honestly, like, I'm there are so many astrologers that are so better than me, but like, to whatever extent I have experienced anything like this, it is typically in the way that I teach astrology or work my way through a reading. And it's not that I know the sort of have, like, everything planned out when I'm in those spaces, and I hit, I give a good talk, and you guys, everyone, like, really likes it, like, Oh, that was a good one. And I really get the feedback. That was a good talk.
Most of the time in those talks, I'm working off an outline, but then there's so much flow that's happening in between the outline. And it looks like on the outside, it looks like I knew every single thing I was going to say maybe, or it looks very controlled and poised. But it's not like that internally. And I'm sure all of you know what that's like, too, within some area of your life, when you're in the zone, in your work or if you're a parent, you know that comes to my mind too, where you just, sometimes you just hit zones where you're just like, I'm getting an A in parenting right now. It's not because I'm in control. It's because I know stuff about this sphere, and I'm, for whatever reason, just moving fluidly with it today.
So I thought, isn't that a neat symptom of someone who is really wise? Wise, not like they get a badge, but wise because there's a kind of closeness to something that allows for a great deal of adaptability to take place. Anyway. Okay, I'm laboring some of these too much, but it's because I love them. I'm just so excited about them.
Number three, they are humble and curious. So this you. You guys have heard me say this a million times. This is something that was communicated to me very clearly in my work with Ayahuasca over the years, and I think almost any spiritual discipline that I've ever been a part of, including even my graduate school experiences with creative writing. I've heard Creative Writing professors say this. My yoga teachers have said this. My teachers in astrology have said this. Even when I grew up in the Christian church, this was a value, thankfully, because I didn't grow up in a fundamentalist environment, right? However, a symptom of a sage is that they are humble and curious. They don't think to themselves, look at me; I'm so masterful, you know, like, if you're a good lover, right? And I'm just thinking about this broadly; I don't mean just sexual intimacy, although that may be part of it.
If you're like a good lover, one of the things that probably is a symptom of the way in which you love is that you don't pronounce yourself to your partner to be a great lover all the time. They call you that, maybe, but when it comes in, you have to push it out. And they're like, You are such a great spouse. Thank you. You're such a great dad. You're such a great mom. You know, you're such a great lover. I appreciate you so much. When that comes in, you're like, thank you. That's so nice, and I'm not going to take it too seriously because whatever capacity I have to do, those things will be interrupted or disrupted if I start glomming on to that praise. I mean, I received it. You know, you receive it when someone tells you you're good at something, but then you go, yeah, but the closeness that I have the ability to follow a track or a path, that the Tao that allows me to be good at something is not because of me, it's because of the Tao and the only way that I'm able to be channeling something of high quality is because I'm following something. You know, I'm paying attention. I'm following some lines, and they're squiggly, but I have to follow them. And if I start thinking I'm the line, I lose the line and humble people know that, and curious people know that there's a lot of commonality between curiosity and humility. And it's not that you have humility.
People constantly think of it as something that means you think less of yourself than you ought to. No, it's not that at all. It's that you know that whatever great qualities you have are coming from an ability to follow and align with some kind of stream. And so you go, yeah, well, it's the stream, not me. And I don't take that as an insult at all because I'm so in love with the stream, right? And I'm so in love with what it brings into my heart when I align with it that I don't need to take credit for it because that would interrupt my relationship with this stream.
People who understand that they are not devaluing themself would be like this. You know, again, it'd be like the lover says: I can't take the I can't get too puffed up because then I'll lose connection to my lover. I won't be a good partner. I won't be a good friend. If I take praise for being a friend too seriously, I will lose the bond. And the bond is what I love, not the accolade, right? Because you know where the sweetness is actually at.
So, and we struggle with this, it's easy to fall out of it. For all of us, it's easy to just drop into taking the credit for something. I mean, we also need validation. It's very human to feel like, hey, you know what, you do a good job of staying in line with this, or that you're good, you're a good friend, you know? And it's like we have to receive that because it does take work, it's soul work, to stay aligned with something.
So we don't want to not be able to receive praise, but we have to stay humble and curious; otherwise, our capacity to continue emanating beautiful things and continue deepening. See, this is a beautiful thing about any craft or trade, and you can deepen into those things endlessly. There's no bottom to intimacy. There's always something new bubbling out of the cauldron of the things that we devote ourselves to. So, staying humble and curious is also about staying in the creative process. We don't want to come out of that. Please. Jesus. This is the best thing ever, you know.
Then, four sages practice the same things but never experience the same things. So, if you have a meditation practice, on the surface, it looks like you're just doing the same thing all the time. And sometimes it may feel that way because it's very normal, whether you're practicing violin, or you know you're practicing Astrology, or you are showing up at work every day, or you know you're a parent every day, or whatever. There's a mundane level at which things feel boring, and that's normal and fine, and sometimes it's just chop wood, carry water.
You have to show up and hope that the Muse shows up. However, one of the symptoms of sages and the ability that they have to continue becoming luminaries is deepening, changing, growing, being more creative, remaining productive, and remaining interesting. Like, I mean, some of my favorite people, you know, I think about Jeffrey Cornelius, an astrologer who is a tremendous inspiration to me, who recently passed away. And, you know, as he aged, it was like I watched; he just became more and more brilliant. I saw some of his work when he was younger, and then I got to know him when he was older. And as far as I could tell, he just kept getting more brilliant.
He didn't lose interest in the subjects that he became fascinated by when he was young because of the illusion of mastery when he was old. Do you know what I'm saying? And I see that in the lives of people, there's a childlike curiosity that remains. And so you never are doing the same thing twice. You never feel like, well, I know something now, so I've arrived. You know? You recognize I'm going like for me in three years now of going to the gym as my like sadhana, as getting to know my body and really working with my body for the first time in my life.
Before that, it was, you know, my practices were very contemplative, like meditation, prayer, psychedelics, etc, all beautiful. And there's not; I don't find one better than the other anything. But in this world, what I notice is that the more I do the same things in my body, it's really no different than meditation in the sense that, okay, I've got this workout today. I've done this workout before, but if I'm present and if I show up with curiosity and humility, then this is going to be different, and I'm going to feel different things, and I'm going to sense different things, and different insights are going to bubble up. And then, you know, some days it's going to be choppy and carry water, but if I just keep going, one of the symptoms of sage is that they do a lot of the same things, they practice the same things, they study the same things, and yet they never have the exact same experience twice. This is why I teach this all the time, all day long, in my programs. 24/7, you don't need more things, more tools, more techniques, or more theories to do good astrology.
Most of the time, what people lack is an ongoing curiosity to learn the same old things in new ways, over and over and over again. This is why, on my channel, you'll see that I cover a lot of the same aspects, but you'll never find that I do it exactly the same way. Well, I try not to.
A lot of the time, it's about how we can look at a Jupiter Sun transit in light of a talk that I heard in India. That's for me; that approach is how I keep learning the same thing because I don't pretend that once I've got a tight list of adjectives for the Sun and Jupiter, that means that that's done. Now I just need 13 asteroids to throw in because I've gotten, you know, sick, I don't know, saying there's anything wrong with asteroids. So that was like a drive-by shooting at asteroids.
No, what I mean is. Sorry, I can't help myself. So what I mean is that we don't need more stuff right now to become wise, like more credentials, more whatever, more things to throw into a chart in astrology. That drives me nuts. If now you can too. There's nothing wrong with it, per se. But what I'm saying is that is one of the great symptoms of sages.
They do a lot of the same things repetitively, but internally, their experience is new and new and new. Watch for that, develop that. That's something that I think we could all develop in lots of areas of our lives. This is not the same pickup of your children at school or drop off of your children at school as it was yesterday. This is new, be present, and you will see something new. And that's how we fall in love with life. You know? I mean, if we can develop that, that curiosity and that presence, that this looks the same, but it isn't the same, that awareness makes life exhilarating, especially when it becomes exhilarating in the level of small things because the Sun Jupiter will tempt us into thinking it's only big things that really represent breakthroughs.
Oh, you have to have a huge breakthrough of awareness and consciousness and aha moments and everything like no, if you notice something new about how today's drop off was, or how today's digestion was, that's insight, and that level of newness is it's like being able to recognize eternity in a grain of sand. That ability is rare, precious, as precious as a little grain of sand. Problems are seen as part of the play.
Another great symptom of sages and I love this part of the talk, is that when problems come up, I'll never forget this, like this guru sitting back, and he goes like this, and he goes, hmm. He's like, and of course, in this tradition, it's Krishna, right? So he's like, Hmm, what are you know? What are Krishna and Radha bringing this problem to me? For they're playing with me. This is play, and I love that. I thought that is so unique, and not that, you know, there's going to be moments where problems come up, and it's like trauma, grief reaction, reactions that are strong and, you know, like that.
So this isn't something that's easy to access in all situations, but when problems come up, let's just talk about mundane problems, like everyday problems that the sage sits back and goes like, Huh. Well, played. What are you up to? And they get curious and playful with the universe, with the divine, with the cosmos, with the gods, with karma. They're like, Oh, this is a weird little curveball. I can see I want to get frustrated, but I'm overriding that with my trust that this problem is a playfulness, that there's a creative reason this is here or reasons, and that if I stay playful and curious and interactive with the problem. That attitude puts me into a different state of consciousness that allows for this problem to become creative and meaningful in ways that I can't if I interpret a problem to be a problem, you know, instead, if I say, Hey, that looks like a problem, but I wonder what else it is, right?
That's a symptom of a sage in the same way. And I'm like, okay, set aside the spirituality. If you are an artist and there's a problem that arises within your work, your canvas, or a jazz player that hits a wrong note, a quote, unquote, or a wrong note, what do they do? That wrong note becomes the like. Let's turn around that wrong note, and it becomes a meaningful part of the continued improvisation.
So there are no wrong notes, you know, in jazz, something like that I've heard before, there's only a wrong response, you know, you know, and that's life, right? So this, this wonderful teacher, was saying, like, you know, sages again, whether you're a parent or a spiritual teacher, that the problem becomes something else. It becomes part of the play.
Anyhow, if we lack these things, the opposite tends to happen. We don't hear the sound of our own voice. We become puffed up and proud. We're not able to flow. We try to control. We mistake control for mastery. We are proud and pompous rather than humble and curious. We are impatient and lacking in consistency, and so we mistake the thrill of recognition or the thrill of being good at something for the actual relationship with the thing that we're doing, which is the source of any accolade, and when a problem comes up, we see it as something trying to thwart us or our authority. The ego has been overly identified with wisdom or with the seat of power.
So, Sun-Jupiter, right? There are some nice distinctions between the symptoms of sages and the shadows that come when we are not receiving these qualities. So take it or leave it. But I thought this would be an interesting way of looking at things today. So I hope that you enjoyed this. Don't forget next week to give a talk on Venus through the 12 signs. If you want to learn more about your Venus placement in your chart, that's Thursday night. Can't attend live. Get the recording of your one for November 16 enrollment. The pre-registration sale is open now until October 15, so I hope to see some of you in these classes soon. Hope you're having a good day. Bye.
