Lectures
Pluto in Capricorn and the "Great Work"
Patricia L. WalshPluto passage into Capricorn has dramatically affected our collective reality. Our economies and the basic structure of our society are all under increased evolutionary pressure. What does this mean for us personally? This lecture will focus on the personal psychological effect of Pluto's journey through Capricorn and the maturing process that each soul is urged to embrace. Drawing on the understanding of The Hero's Journey as the process of individuation, Patricia will help you unravel the complex psycho-spiritual challenges each of us is faced with.
When Planets Square the Moons Nodal Axis
Patricia L. WalshThe traditional astrological understanding of our karma teaches us that the South Node of the moon shows our past, and the North Node our future. When a planet squares the nodal axis, all those traditional rules change. In this lecture Patricia will describe the dynamics of karma and how it imprints, showing how a squaring planet to the nodes, affects the soul's past and future evolution. She will use examples drawn from her chapter in the new book 'Insights into Evolutionary Astrology' (Llewellyn 2010).
What is my Calling?
Lea ImsiragicEach of us is materialized through the part that makes the three personal financial houses 2, 6 and 10. Still, there is something more than just a profession, and it's Calling – the reason why we are here. This lecture will present examples – as seen in the natal horoscope what is our Calling, and when the gates open especially in time to hear this call.
Forecasting 17th Century Style
Branka StamenkovićProgressions belong to the toolbox of both past and present astrologers, but difference in how they were used once and are used today is great. Get familiar with how to progess key 5 natal chart points through terms and onto fixed stars, to forcast from natal chart.
Astrology and Psychotherapy at the Crossroads of Healing
Gisele TerryIn the space created by astrologer and client, the unexpected can happen. The astrologer can suddenly identify with and enact configurations in the client's chart. When this occurs, astrology becomes alive and potentially transformative for both astrologer and client, and provides a unique healing context. This class describes how the astrologer can make use of this healing opportunity to promote a curative experience for the client. Four techniques will be illustrated that are vehicles for change within the astrological consultation. Most important, the mandala of the chart itself activates healing.
The Yod: It's Esoteric Meaning
Joan KelloggThis lecture will introduce participants to the 1) philosophical tenets of esoteric astrology especially as it relates to the incoming energies of the Aquarian Age and 2) detail how an esoteric foundation will assist in the determination of how best to understand ourselves and our soul's purpose. The yod configuration is one specific aspect in the chart that identifies and assists the willing and prepared individual to understand and carry out their divine purpose. The yod represents the gift of divine illumination and inspiration, and identifies the areas of life where this illumination is to be best utilized. When the many astrological factors are considered everyone has a yod somewhere in their chart.
Touched by Fire: Manic Depressive Illness and the Artistic Temperament
Joan KelloggThe lecture will focus on the clinical and astrological identification of mood disorders and specifically manic depression also known as bipolar disorder. Utilizing the book of the same title written by Kay Redfield Jamison as a resource, participants will learn the symptoms and definitions of the various types of this disorder and Dr. Jamison's through biographical history of over 300 artists, poets, lyricists, composers and writers. The presenter has conducts ongoing research with patients in her private practice as well as global personages and will present the charts, history and research material in the workshop that has been presented at several ISAR Conferences to capacity audiences.
The Healing Power of Horary
Deborah HouldingHorary is labelled a "predictive tool," but much value lies in its ability to explore the discarded realities of the past. By looking at the chart as the insignia of the problem, we open up the client's options rather than close them down towards one inevitable conclusion. This talk, based upon proven case histories, demonstrates horary as a powerful technique for allowing clients to overcome their fears and gain confidence in their choices for the future
Horary Relationship Charts
Deborah HouldingThis presentation explains (and clarifies) the traditional principles used to make judgments on relationship and partnership issues: from determining significators and co-significators, to differentiating between 5th and 7th house 'love issues', when (and how) reception becomes important, and the astrological indications of dominance, desire or disinterest. Modern examples will be referred to in a highly practical explanation of the philosophies that are embedded in the horary art, and which need to be properly understood to bring clarity to the chart.
Influences of the Moon on our emotional body and the Unconscious
Mona ValenasSince ancient times, it is known that the Moon in the form of tidal influence to the sea, and the people. However, now I dare to make another step in this quest so I'll share with you my observations about the effect the moon has on the field of human emotions. "Seas" and "ocean" of the Moon is actually considered the Moon's craters and basins. These water basins are progressively revealed to us day by day to moon progresses in its movement.
Link between the emotional plane: Exterior Waters of the planet and the Water Houses in a natal chart
Mona ValenasFocus of this lecture is the correspondence between the different forms of physical water on the Planet and in our emotional world, and also how this can be observed in a natal chart as if in a mirror. It will be shown the ways how to correct the different types of deficiencies on an internal emotional plane - three water houses (the 4th House -Personal Unconscious, the 8th House - Familial Unconscious, Ancestors, the 12th house - collective Unconscious, Soul of the World).
Pre – Conferences Workshops
How to Get Practical Information for Clients with Kepler and Sirius
Fei CochraneIn this seminar we will see how you can obtain information quickly and easily to answer questions that people often ask. We will focus on three topics that often come up:
- Relationships: Tell me about my relationship with a person?
- Relocation: Which place is the best one for me to live?
- Lucky Days: On which day should I start the business, sign the contract, get married, etc.?
- It is easy to get lost in endless amounts of astrological information. Transits, progressions, and directions as well as midpoints and harmonics, or how about asteroids, fixed stars, and arabic parts?
- All of these are important, but how do we focus in on what is most important? How can we use astrology software to get answers quickly but that are also based on a comprehensive analysis. Kepler and Sirius provide amazing tools to do exactly this. Kepler and Sirius go far beyond just giving you calculations; there are ways that information can be organized and synthesized that help you be a much better astrologer. Of course, everyone uses different techniques and the software features are also flexible and can be adapted to different astrological theories. Come to this seminar to find out how!

What's your Story? …. Reading Past Lives in the Natal Chart
Patricia L. WalshIf you don't know the trees…you may be lost in the forest, but if you don't know the stories …you may be lost in life. - Siberian Elder
It has been said that myth, metaphor, image and storytelling represent the true language of the soul. Patricia will host a highly self-experiential day in exploring your personal past life stories opening you up to the language of the soul, and how these stories relate to the astrological archetypes through the natal placement of Pluto and the Moon's Nodes. She will share case studies from her book 'Understanding Karmic Complexes'; illuminating how the astrological archetypes (Aries-Pisces) are expressed in past life experiences. Using charts and clients actual past life experiences as recalled through regression therapy, the archetypes will come to life in a way you have not seen them before. Through storytelling and simple 'imaginal' exercises she will help you bridge both left brain and right brain approaches to learn to see the larger karmic trends and themes in your own chart and for clients as well. She will teach you some simple strategies that you can use with your clients to help them resolve their karmic conundrums, allowing them to access their evolutionary potential. Bring your own natal charts and your imagination!!!

Electional Astrology: Electing for Success
Deborah HouldingElectional astrology is generally defined as the technique which allows us to look ahead and select the ideal moment to undertake or begin something important. But it offers more than that, because electional charts have a fascinating ability to expose the strengths and weaknesses inherent in our plans. This workshop will explain the traditional techniques used in electional astrology, explore its history and philosophical basis, and demonstrate its usefulness in a number of case histories. We will also be looking at how the techniques used in horary and electional astrology offer a reliable approach for gaining insight into the significance of event charts. Suitable for astrologers of all levels of interest.

Post – Conferences Workshops
The Moon and the Relational Nature of Growth
Gisele TerryThis presentation provides an interdisciplinary context for understanding human development and its application to chart analysis. Because the meanings and sequence of the signs of the zodiac closely parallel developmental stages from early childhood to young adulthood, it is possible to form a unique hypothesis about human growth that dissolves apparent contradictions between nature vs. nurture and fate vs. free will. In merging astrology with developmental psychology, the Moon, representing the relational nature of growth, becomes the symbolic bridge between the two. Drawing from the most current research about human growth, this class will illustrate, through many case examples, how the moon carries developmental meanings from infancy through the entire lifespan.

Pictures of ancestors and family constellation in the natal horoscope
Mona ValenasIncarnation within a family unwittingly take on the task and responsibility to express an end to all that our ancestors were unable to resolve. It is possible to inherit all the physical and health problems to complex emotional states. Despite whether it is physical or emotional problems, all indicate the same thing: someone else's energy natus unconsciously interpreted as their own. First, it is important to determine the influence of planets that could be indicative of this type of inherited genetic materials and energy, and then the house in which he set on their energy impact. Discover in which cases will most likely ancestral karma manifested in his personal life natus, in order to clarify and experienced a transformation. After we determine which blocks are in a natal horoscope accede to their dismissal. The two recommended methods to respect the ancestral shamanic healing the individual and group level.
