Lectures
Astrology and Physics of Consciousness
Aleksandar ImsiragicThe state of consciousness is the key field in which the complete realm of astrological symbolism intersects. Therefore, the destiny of an individual directly depends on its quality.
Karmic and genetic influences that we are subjected to, and that can be identified in the natal chart, indicate a horizontal description of reality, which constitutes the inert state of our being. However, besides these influences, a vertical level of reality also exists. It deals with discovery of the secret door that leads towards higher states of consciousness, from where we can make a concrete change of events that exist within the 'horizontal reality’.
Discover your soul map and learn to activate it!
Lea ImsiragicWhat do I mean by Soul Map? I believe that your natal horoscope viewed from soul perspective becomes the best map to live life organized around your life purpose. In this lecture I will show you step by step how you can discover things like- who are your ideal clients and what kind of work is fulfilling your heart, activate your Soul gifts and make you really successful while you still have a ton of fun and joy. Bring your chart; this is going to be super fun and practical.
How to Predict Accidents
David CochraneCan we use astrology to predict when a person is more likely to get into an accident? Yes! There are particular transits that make it more likely to a person to be in an accident. In cases where the person is impatient or impulsive, transiting Mars and Uranus and natal Mars and Uranus are involved. However, the transit-to-natal aspects are not the usual ones that we might expect, such as squares and oppositions. In addition to Mars and Uranus, the planets Sun, Saturn, and Pluto are also important but do not increase the likelihood of an accident as much as Mars and Uranus. In this lecture David will explain very clearly how to analyze the positions of transiting planets and natal planets to determine when a person is more likely to be in an accident.
Quick Readings with Vibrational Astrology
David CochraneIn this lecture David will explain how a quick interpretation of a natal chart is done using Vibrational Astrology. He will then demonstrate the procedure by giving a quick interpretation of the birth charts of three attendees. This live demonstration provides you a clear understanding of some fundamental concepts of Vibrational Astrology and how they are used to get information about a person.
Thirteen Canoes® - A Shamanic Astrology
Gaisheda KheawokIn Archetypal Shamanic Energy Medicine™ (ASEM™), it is said that “everything is energy and everything is frequency” and that we are all inherently aligned via the natural world and to our intuitive wisdom. In Shamanic Tribal Astrology traditions, the Wisdom Wheels and Charts are known as the Foundation of Truth. The Wisdom Wheel Teachings represent a Blueprint for humanity in raising global consciousness, and provide a practical foundation for astrology practitioners to work and apply Shamanic Energy Medicine in their practices and lives.
Planetary Degrees in Persian Astrology
Ehsan KhazeniBeside the regular subdivisions of signs, every sign is divided by masculine and feminine degrees, Dark and Bright Degrees, Benefic and Malefic Degees and some other divisions like smoky, empty etc.
There are also 360 definitions similar to Sabian symbols for every single degree.
Some degrees are considered as if the planet is exalted or debilitated.
Faces and Bounds in Persian Astrology
Ehsan KhazeniFaces (Decans) and Bounds (Terms or limits) are two important sub-divisions in traditional astrology. Persians use these two essential dignities widely in their interpretations. Beside analyzing the planets in each division, A handbook of all planets in term and bound of other planets will be presented)
Peering into the Mind of God
Rick LevineAlbert Einstein once said, “I want to know God’s thoughts; the rest are details.” How do cosmology, science and spirituality weave a magic carpet tapestry that supports astrology? What is life? Is our fate written in stone in our horoscopes? Does free will exist? What is the relationship between the cosmos and the individual? What survives death? How can we better understand our place in the Universe? What does astrology say about these unstable times? These are big questions… and not the answers you expect.
Yods, Golden Yods and Septile Yods
Rick LevineWhen it comes to aspect configurations, the Yod has a certain mystery about it. The annoying 150-degree quincunx aspect is often dismissed as a non-aspect or an irritant, but there is more to them than meets the eye. Rick will unfold the fascinating story of this most unstable point in the zodiac. After all, having a “Finger of God” in a chart seems like it should be pretty powerful. The Yod is based upon the quincunx aspect, an aspect that many astrologers don’t fully understand. But this powerful configuration may only be a faint shadow of the more significant Yods based upon the quintile and septile aspect series. How do you find them? What do they mean? Why are they so important? What is the connection between quintiles, septiles and quincunxes? Be prepared for a new perspective. Lots of chart examples will be used. This class is a mind-bender and an eye-opener as to the importance quintile and septile configurations that involve many planets.
Quincunxes: the art of adapting to what you resist
Sol JonassenWhat do Capricorn have to teach Leo and vice versa? The nature of the quincunx is one of adaption. Different modalities and different elements get together to create a subtle tension that is often hard to overcome. Let’s take a look at the dissonances and find their healing gift.
Composites
Sol JonassenLearning to really read the composites is an act of trusting the technique to be a valid one. Let’s go through some interesting case studies and examine the difference between the Davison’s chart and the Composite Mid-point Chart. Further, we will look into transits to the Composite and synastries with natal charts to look deeper into the mystery of two becoming one energy

There are some amazing rules of evaluating the planetary aspects in Persian astrology which rarely discussed in western medieval texts.
