Lectures
Mars: The Barbarian And The Aristocrat
Darby CostelloWith Uranus in Aries, awakening everyone's Mars energy, and Saturn in Scorpio, demanding we work deeply on this energy, it's time to look closely at this planet in our charts. Coming down through the male side of our ancestry, this warrior energy can operate crudely or heroically. Today we shall look at our warrior nature in order to develop awareness of when it is acting the thug and when it is acting with shining skill on behalf of ourselves and those we cherish and protect
Saturn in Scorpio – The Dark Transit and Its Power to Transform Our Lives
Darby CostelloSaturn has been in Scorpio for moe than 16 months, in mutual reception to Pluto in Capricorn. Since its inception, things have been revealed that have shaken the foundations of the large organisations that give shape to our collective lives. This talk will address how facing our own dark secrets and the secrets of others can transform our lives. It will explore how we can use our understanding of this transit to navigate towards a deeper relationship with our communities and our humanity.
Saturn and Pluto: time for transformation
Melanie ReinhartSaturn and Pluto are in each other's signs of rulership while Saturn is in Scorpio. The depth, seriousness and intensity of this combination invites us to focus, purify the will, and to dedicate ourselves to what really matters. We explore the astrology through images, poetry and mythology.
Living wisely with the Moon
Melanie ReinhartWe actually live on the 'Earth-Moon' system, and the Moon in the horoscope signifies that which is so close and intimate that we may not notice it. Through myth, symbol and astronomy, we explore the meaning of the astrological Moon, the Moon's monthly cycle by transit, and the Progressed Moon.
Transits and health issues
Lynn KoinerThis course will discuss the impact of the transits of Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto upon the health. I will introduce material on the Etheric Body and how these transits affect us through the etheric vehicles. I will also provide a handout on "Illness Hours" -- the time of onset can give a clue as to the organ involved in the illness.Medical Astrology and the Diseases of the Frontal Lobe of the Brain.
Regressing your chart into your parents' past
Lynn KoinerThis is a technique that I developed in the 1960s whereby one can regress a chart back in time and predict events occurring in the lives of the parents and even grandparents. They can show events from the past that have altered our current life and mindset. This is an easy technique that even a beginning student can learn. With this technique, one can also rectify the birth time.
A psychodynamic view of Astrology’s symbolism
Nuno Michaels“Astrology, like the collective unconscious with which psychology is concerned, consists of symbolic configuration: the 'planets' are the gods, symbols of the power of the unconscious”
Carl Gustav Jung
In this lecture we will look through the lens of modern psychology and into the symbolism of the birth chart, as if approaching it from a psychotherapist’s mind. How can you formulate therapeutic hypothesis in your work with clients, gain insight into their psychological development from astrological delineation alone, and help them integrate their own challenges - and thus heal, and change, their lives? We’ll show you – and give you guidelines so you can do it too. Our goal is to show the wealth of psychological information - and valuable therapeutic resources - available in the birth chart to anyone who is willing to use it as a therapeutic tool.
How much Sun can a Moon take? Some secrets on the integration of polarities
Nuno MichaelsNight and day. You are the one. In a polarized universe, we have to manage polarities through our own polarities. And the polarities you don’t manage – they manage you. Finding our own place of Being is learning how to work with polarities, not against them.
The best part of it all is: they’re both inside. Your place of power is your own Sun, to which you access through the Moon. I will show you what I mean.
Practical Use of Arabic parts (Helenistic Lots) in natal chart
Hakan KirkogluThe ranking of the nativity based on traditional techniques. Example charts on how to assess important Arabic parts and delineate them, such as Part of Fortune, Part of Exaltation (Pars Nobilitatis) or Part of Spirit (Pars Solis) and important others. Includes explanations in theory and practical examples of my usage in the consultations.
How your prenatal eclipse and lunations shape up your life?
Hakan KirkogluAlthough there is not extensive material on prenatal eclipses and their relation to our life stories, I consider them especially useful in pinpointing major life themes within the astrological counseling when it is used side by side with the natal chart. The themes of the sign of the prenatal eclipse and the natal condition of its traditonal ruler cast valuable information about the general direction in life and the certain issues of the native. We can look at the prenatal eclipse's sign as a broad canvas which can be painted by our natal chart. Furthermore, it is the prenatal lunation, syzygy or prevention which gives us interesting additional clues about how we realise our natal promise. In this talk, we are going to have practical examples showing the effectiveness of these crucial astrological points.
Planetary Magic and Life Purpose
Aleksandar ImsiragicThe Universe supports those who have awakened purpose in their lives. In this lecture we'll examine how to overcome karmic influence that is structured in our charts by awakening the power of Life Purpose. There is specific astrological calculation to find out one's own purpose in life and by that activate the life of Higher Being in our physiology.
Pre – Conferences Workshops
Chiron And The Healing Journey
Melanie ReinhartThe Minor Planets called 'Centaurs' relate to the Plutonic realm, inviting awakening and transformation, often through experiences of affliction or suffering. Chiron, the first 'Centaur', shows us 'The wounds which make us wise'; the transits signal processes both profound and significant for our spiritual journey. This workshop will include discussion of the 'Chiron Return', and the theme of 'Ancestral Healing'.

Psychological Patterns Of Disease
Lynn KoinerFirst, there is almost always a psychological pattern with these diseases.If the psychological issue is addressed, healing can occur more effectively.I offer remedies for many health issues. Second, by examining the quadruplicities (cardinal, fixed and mutable signs), the houses, and bodies such as Chiron, Hygeia, Transpluto and Ceres, a personality profile that portends health susceptibilities can be mapped, and a health regime can be established to keep the body in relatively good health. The Quadruplicities in the horoscope indicate the foundation of all future health issues.Many of the Houses rule the functions in the body.Other topics will be...Auto-Immune:Lupus, MS, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, Scleroderma, diabetes
Diseases of Aging:Alzheimer's Disease, Arthritis, Hearing Loss, Osteoporosis and Cardio diseases.
