"My purpose is to serve the Highest Good by allowing the light and love of our One Divine Source to flow through me. My goal is to assist you in manifesting your Divine Nature in your daily life. Your conscious understanding that you are intrinsically connected to the One Source of what Hermetic philosophers would call All That Is empowers you to manifest your life vision. This allows your spirit to heal, grow, and prosper. Since we are all connected at the Source, your increasing Light benefits all Creation. Thank you to all of the people who have helped me to come out of my hermit's cave to step into greater levels of service."

~ Mark Francis Dodich

Mark Dodich has provided Astrology and Intuitive Consultations since 1980. Mark holds a C.A.P. (Certified Astrological Professional) from ISAR (International Society of Astrological Research). He is past president of the Oregon Astrological Association, publishes his own newsletter, and is regularly featured in the media.

Mark is a regular speaker on astrological topics at conferences, fairs, and metaphysical venues. He provides his work internationally from his base in Portland, Oregon. Mark has had a monthly column in New Connexions Journal since the mind-1990's (check out the links page). He is also seen in print regularly in Voice of Choices and Wisdom publications in the Pacific NW, and has published hundereds of articles. He has also been featured on radio programs dozens of times, numerous television shows like (and including) AM Northwest, and has recently provided content to a variety of internet radio shows.

Metaphysical subjects and techniques that empower spiritual growth are a continual source of interest for Mark. His interest in esoteric subjects started while attending Kent State University, near his birthplace in Canton, Ohio. Mark was fascinated with the study of so-called primitive African tribes that could do telepathy, healing, and even had specific knowledge of stars that were not visible to the naked eye before the telescope was invented. He also studied a local spiritualist church camp to understand intuitive abilities, which he later learned were active in the elders of his own family (Catholics, in those days, did not speak of such things!).

Further studies included a healer/counselor certificate, and then a ministry certificate from the Arizona Metaphysical Society, Frank Alper, and the Church of Tzaddi (I am no longer affiliated with the church). Mark was a board member of the Church of Alice, a spiritualist church, for over 8 years. Mark also took numerous Native America-style medicine wheel training's from Sun Bear and other shamanistic teachings.

Before Mark moved to Oregon in 1991, he lived in SE Florida, Houston, Seattle, Colorado Springs, San Francisco, Anchorage, Washington DC, New Jersey, and Santa Fe. Some of these moves were career oriented during his life as an industrial salesperson in industries such as aluminum, mini-blind manufacturing, and industrial supplies. Other moves were for the sake of adventure. It isn't hard to see how he developed his passion for Relocation Astrology (AstroCartoGraphy® or EARTHLINES™, helping you find your personal power places on planet earth for romance, career, and spiritual service).

Somewhere along the way, Mark developed an interest in the channeled materials of Djwahl Kuhl and Alice A. Bailey. The information on the Seven Rays and the Violet Flame helped Mark to develop his Soul Ray Esoteric Astrology Consultation.

And because some people like to know: Mark was born with the Sun in Libra, the moon in the balsamic phase -just before the new moon- also in Libra, and a Virgo rising sign (see Marks chart on the home page). And because someone always asks, Mark is single and still figuring out how to balance a strong private monk side with spending quality time with a woman- and running a full time consulting practice with travel, writing, and lecture schedule. Mark's primary interest is to help people open to the beauty of their Divine Essence. Of course, it is also his interest for himself!

A relatively new development is taking groups to meditate and do ceremony at sacred sites. The first trip was to Egypt in 2008, where 17 of us rented private time in the Great Pyramid. Having the privacy to chant in the King's Chamber in Giza is an experience so wonderful, it's hard to imagine that I didn't do it sooner. Mark is working on a group trip to Greece in 2010, and hopes to return to Egypt in 2012 (it isn't only the Mayan's who considered 2012 to be important!).
