The Living Library
Foundations, archetypal and Jungian astrology, Western-Vedic and Jaimini methods, predictive timing, financial astrology, ethics, and Pattern Intelligence.
What membership includes
A professional society should give you more than a group chat.
BAS membership is useful infrastructure: a place to study, test interpretations, gather under Idaho’s sky, meet thoughtful practitioners, and remain connected to a larger professional field and a real local community.
Circles + Sky Events
Online New Moon circles, seasonal briefings, member workshops, Boise-area gatherings, dark-sky nights, and community engagements as the calendar activates.
Professional Orbit
Connection to professional organizations, continuing education, guest experts, responsible-practice standards, and a network that treats astrology as a discipline.
Member Learning Labs
Guided chart study, case discussion, interpretation practice, and structured questions that turn symbolism into observable, testable context.
Founding Member Benefits
A founding voice in early programming, first access to events, selected member rates, referral gifts, and recognition as an original Society member.
A Pluralistic Community
Open-minded, evidence-aware, respectful of many belief systems, neurodivergent-friendly, and firm about dignity, consent, agency, and ethical limits.
The intellectual standard
Most astrology is entertainment. This isn’t.
BAS centers evidence-informed Pattern Intelligence: interpretations are compared with lived context, recurring themes, client-reported outcomes, and what holds across time. What proves useful strengthens the method. What does not is revised or released.
Professional connection
Credentialed culture. Responsible practice.
Members enter a society that values continuing study, explicit scope, honest uncertainty, and connection to the wider field. Michelle Méndez is a member of NCGR and ISAR; BAS is an AFA Group Affiliate.

Do I need to be an astrologer?
No. BAS is for beginners, practitioners, professionals, and thoughtful skeptics. Curiosity and respect matter more than prior training.
Can I join from outside Idaho?
Yes. Choose virtual founding membership and participate through online circles, briefings, study, and virtual programming.
Is membership a professional certification?
No. Membership provides community, education, professional connection, and member benefits. It does not grant a license, certification, or authorization to practice.
