This talk focuses on the significance in events of all types, "good" or "bad" (or however one might term them) of the eight so-called "hard" aspects (conjunction, 4 semi-squares, 2 squares and opposition) as "phases" -- but it does not either use or have any need to use dials, nor does it use the...

The “Love Asteroids” include Cupido, Sappho, Eros and Amor whose chart placements indicate who you are attracted to as well as what your expectations are of a lover. If you’re always attracted to people with whom you are not compatible, then it’s likely that this problem originates here. Since ex...

When clients, friends and public figures "speak their charts," we astrologers collect gems that inform our practice and help us expand and fine-tune our astrological vocabulary. In this talk, Frank presents a series of birth charts, entertaining real-life observations, and quotations that get to ...

This talk is about using eclipses for personal empowerment. We take a look at the mythology of eclipses and the astronomy of the eclipse as a Shadow phenomenon and a disruption of the dark/light fractal of time. We also cover the basic mechanics of the lunar nodes and bendings, and identify nodal...

Fortune and her companion Spirit are the two primary Greek Lots (which were the precedent for Arabic Parts) which have survived into modern times as calculated astrological points in a horoscope. But what do you do with them, and what do they mean? Misunderstandings and misrepresentations about t...

Transits describe a direct, mathematical relationship between an ambient planet and a natal planet. “Pattern returns” describe the ambient recurrence of natal factors that doesn’t always have a direct link to natal planets. These “holographic transits,” as the late Robert Blaschke called them, ex...

The Ax/Vx is a significant nodal point on the same level with the midheaven and the ascendant. To me, it represents our personal connection, our relationship to the world and the people in it. House and sign position are important, as well as the natal aspects to the Ax/Vx. I have recently added ...

Carl Jung, through his personal healing process, discovered the Wounded Healer archetype in himself. Zane discusses the mythos of Chiron, and Jung's discovery of the archetype within. He then explores Chiron in Jung’s chart and shows how we can see our own Chironic wounds.

After a flurry of activity in the 1970s and more work in the 1980s, the early efforts to investigate and interpret the asteroids flagged, then stalled, then all but disappeared from the radar.  In this lecture, Roderick Kidston discusses how they relate to natal charts, personality, and even poli...

This is a topic dear to Roderick Kidston’s heart. He has a different take on Juno, one which gives much greater honour and emphasis to the asteroid which is the astrological conduit for the energy of Juno, Queen of Heaven.

When astrologers first started investigating the asteroids, Juno was offe...

In that way stars are connecting our souls with the memories of many past lives and also many future lives we have already had, and through the constellations they belong t...

Beginning a natal reading from the Lunar South Node gives the chart its springboard. Like when watching series 2, we need to remember where series 1 left off. How can we truly understand the dynamics in the current chart without knowing why it was created that way? In this talk, Marc demonstrates...

The Draconic chart provides pivotal information regarding your soul’s purpose. The Draconic chart is karmic, spiritual, and often unconscious.
