Lectures
The healing waters of Neptune in Pisces
Aleksandar ImsiragicAstrohealing is one of the most practical branches of Astrology. The natal chart describes us not only the map of the Soul and its destiny, but also shows us guidance of how to heal the problems and bring the energy and into the balans. Influence of Neptune in next 13 years carries within itself knowledge healing techniques in astrology – or Astrohealing.
The Soul's Code: Pluto and the Lunar Nodes in Evolutionary Astrology
Mark JonesIn this talk Mark Jones, head teacher of the U.K. School of Evolutionary Astrology will show how understanding the position of Pluto and the lunar nodes in the birth chart can reveal the nature of the core purpose of the individual life.
Mark will explain how Pluto reveals the deepest attachments and orientation of the Soul of the individual and that the lunar nodes then reveal how this intention has manifested in experiences prior to this life and that it is from this level of understanding that the purpose of the current life can be most clearly revealed.
The talk will explore in depth, the nature and function of Pluto and how it operates in aspect to the nodal axis of the Moon. It will explore the nature of the nodal axis, the importance of the rulers of the nodes as facilitating the purpose of the nodes and the nature of squares to the nodal axis which reveal 'skipped steps' or unresolved issues that have blocked the evolution of the individual.
Mark will draw on his experience teaching the school of Evolutionary Astrology and in thousands of hours of readings and client work as a psychotherapist in private practice to bring the teaching to life. Information about Mark's work and resources for students can be found at www.plutoschool.com
Soul to Soul: the nature of Relationships in Astrology
Mark JonesIn this talk Evolutionary Astrologer and Psychotherapist Mark Jones will explore the nature of relationships through analysis of the individual chart with emphasis on the Mars and Venus placements (to be understood within the context of Pluto and the nodal axis of the Moon) and through the nature of the Composite chart Pluto placement.
Through understanding the natal Mars placement we gain an insight into the nature of our core desires as they emanate from the Soul, Pluto. In understanding the natal Venus placement we understand the true needs of the individual in their relationship with themselves and with others.
In this way, Mars and Venus, taken together paint pictures of the individual's deepest desires and essential needs which can help the individual find fulfilment in their personal life.
The nature of the Composite chart Pluto placement then reveals the core purpose of the relationship itself, an understanding of which then illuminates the nature of the individual charts as they operate within the relationship.
The talk will draw on Mark's experience of working with hundreds of individuals as they explore their true potential in relationship. Further resources can be found at www.plutoschool.com
Making the signs in a chart come alive
Robert CorreLife experience coupled with the active use of imagination develops the most critical skill required to animate a chart, the ability to associate a feeling with a planet or a sign. This ability turns what is normally invisible and insensible in a horoscope into something meaningful and known. We illustrate a technique that considers how each of the traditional planets cooperates with a sign. This will train you to associate and grasp a feeling for the sign by drawing on your life experience. Continual practice of this meditative exercise will turn your astrological studies from an indirect knowledge based on books into an instinct and the chart from a dead image into a living being.
How do you make the Signs come alive? Part 2 - On the signs and your soul
Robert CorreYour life experience is the most valuable resource you have to grasp a sign's meaning. Certain signs come alive immediately for you, others less so, and for some, you have no sense at all. We discuss why and then illustrate a second technique to make the signs come alive. By relating a zodiacal sign to each of the other eleven signs, you can invoke a clear, simple feeling for the sign using your imagination. Placing any sign on the Ascendant with the others following in sequence will automatically show that sign’s predisposition or taste for the affairs associated with a particular house. For example, with Aquarius on the first, we know Aries will be on the third. That means Aquarius’s ego is connected with their knowledge while Cancer on the sixth means domestic affairs are naturally foreign to its disposition. An immediate consequence of this potent practice yields an objective insight into the zodiac which means automatically an insight into your inner zodiac, your private world, the microcosm.
The Social and Economic Consequences of the World-Wide Debt Explosion
Raymond MerrimanThis lecture will discuss the consequences world-wide debt explosion, within the context of the waxing square between Uranus and Pluto that starts in June 2012, and Saturn moving into Scorpio that begins in October 2012. The credit ratings of many nations have already been downgraded, and more will come. But more importantly, these signatures represent the transference of power from governments to the individual. The quest for personal economic and social freedom is a force that cannot be stopped now, and it is erupting all over the world, and especially in those nations whose policies have been repressive to the basic quest for freedom and equality of the populations.
Me and My Money
Raymond MerrimanThis lecture will show how to determine the financial temperament of each individual. Some people are natural traders, others are natural investors, and others may not have a clue on how to handle money. This lecture will also discuss periods in a life when one has the opportunity for great financial success, as well as times when one may be headed for financial, troubles and even bankruptcy.
The Four Liliths: Ancient Goddess in the Modern World
Kelley HunterShady lady Lilith has excited our archetypal imagination through myth and art for millennia. Lilith also gives her name to four celestial factors that we can plot in our charts: asteroid, Dark Moon, Black Moon and star Algol. Through chart examples we will hear from novelists, poets, playwrights, painters and even politicians about various faces of this mysterious goddess of ambiguous reputation, seeking her subtle signature in the spiritual and the mundane.
Understanding Teenagers Using Astrology
Kelley HunterSeveral astrological cycles correspond with important developmental stages during the teen years and illumine the dynamics of these significant years in the maturing process. These cycles impact our life experience again around ages 30 and 45. Examples of several daughters and mothers show how patterns follow down the generations and urge both parent and child into self-growth.
The dawning of a New Age: Astrological insights into the 2012 mystery
Antonia LangsdorfAs time is moving toward December 21, 2012, critical events like natural catastrophes or financial crashes seem to be accumulating. Many dark prophecies point to the magical date as being the end of the world as we know it. We all feel that we are experiencing an exciting and breathtaking turning point in time. In her lecture, Antonia Langsdorf will give you insights about the potential of the coming new age. She will show you the cosmic signature of the new era, displayed by enormous celestial cycles, which will all come due in 2012.
The 13th Fairy – Lilith and the magic numbers of 2012
Antonia LangsdorfThe chart of Dec. 21,2012 shows a "Yod"-constellation. At the top of the Yod stands Jupiter and promises good luck – but directly next to him, the Black Moon Lilith is calling for our attention! The Conjunction of Jupiter, the patriarch of the zodiac and Lilith, the goddess of matriarchy, has already begun and will be in effect almost all of 2012! In this lecture, Antonia Langsdorf will take a deeper look into the mysteries shown by this rare constellation, how the Mayan calendar is linked to it and how it can be a great vision for a better future. This talk will complete and deepen Antonia's first lecture about the "Dawning Of A New Age".

What's your Story? …. Reading Past Lives in the Natal Chart
Mark JonesIf 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!!!

The Astrology of Relationshiop: the good, the bad, and those you don't think you have a choice about
Raymond MerrimanWe are all in a relationship with everyone we know. But what type of relationship was it meant to be? Did we have a choice? The principles of Evolutionary Astrology offer deep insights and understanding of what our relationship with various people is likely to be. There are relationships from the past that seem so familiar, and those that help us craft our future, which seem so exciting. The thing is: no two relationships are exactly alike, yet many relationships have the same plot and same outcomes. Why is that? And when do these relationships enter our life? Secondary progressions reveal how we feel, or intuit, the other person who is important in our life at a given time. The transits reveal what we think during times of important relationships, and the choices before us to be made freely. Which one are you under.

How will two people relate to one another?
Robert CorreOne of the most frequently asked questions is how will two people relate to one another? What are the astrological considerations that determine the fortune or misfortune that may exist between two people in terms of their character and destiny?
Using the method of the French astrologer Morin de Villefranche, we start with a consideration of how the houses and their respective rulers of one chart are connected with the chart and house rulers of the other. This is followed by a consideration of how the different planets of one are connected by house positions and aspects of the other. Chart examples are drawn from my practice and couples currently in the news.

Interpreting the Black Moon
Kelley HunterIn this workshop we will consider how to apply Black Moon Lilith in our astrology. This esoteric point touches into super conscious processes and defines the soul's specific spiritual "crisis." A proper approach to interpreting Black Moon Lilith requires us to let go of mental preconceptions and psychological overlays in order to enter into her primal experience. While focusing on how this power point may be experienced through signs and houses, our discussion will range into states of consciousness, psychological shadows, Eros, subtle energy fields and out to the galactic center.
