In a natal chart, what can the cosmic lovers by sign, house and aspect tell us about a person? What do they say about relationships using synastry? If men are from Mars, why is Venus in their charts at all? If women are from Venus, what does that say about Mars? Do Venus and Mars hold the keys to...

The Vertex is the least conscious point in the chart, where "fated people and events" come into our life. In working with the Vertex for over 8 years, I have found that the reason it appears to be the least conscious is because these are our serendipitous encounters and events we bring about due ...

The quindecile, 165°, an aspect of the 24th Harmonic. Perhaps the most notable observation about this aspect of compulsion and obsession is that those who advocate its use are quite fanatical about its value in the natal chart, dynamics, and synastry.

Colleen says she really did not need another...

Astrology is the sublime art of prediction. If free will ruled supreme, there would be no reason to do astrology. If fate ruled supreme, then why can’t astrology predict everything?

This lecture explores ways to reconcile the modern psychological worldview with classical predictive techniques. T...

The 4th house is the one of the moksha houses meaning spiritual liberation. The water houses 4, 8 and 12 are the most misunderstood houses of a chart because they rule the mysteries of life. On the surface the 4th house is known to signify home, security and mother. But there is a much deeper lev...

Is there a person alive that doesn’t have issues with body image, weight control or self-esteem? Why is it such a struggle to love the body we are in, and how can we be kinder to our bodies rather than fight against them?

The birth chart is not a fixed or static structure. It implies movement, growth, and evolution, which can be measured by various techniques of planetary progressions.

Utilizing the natal and progressed charts of several workshop participants, Greg demonstrates how an astrologer can look at any c...

With this technique, we dig up some of our family history which we inherited in our genes prior to birth, and are influenced by in our life, as per our charts. We use plenty of examples as well.

The cycle of Saturn has clear manifestations in our lives, because this energy develops the spinal cord of our growth and allows us to integrate higher levels of all the natal chart. The energy that activates Saturn through the 12 phases enables us to become totally conscious, and overcome concep...

The ascendant, Sun and Moon are used to calculate the Lot of Fortune. Thus using this formula we can begin to understand how a ternary or threefold relationship is formed.

Donna Cunningham draws on a lifetime of experience with her own stellium and two multiple conjunctions to share strategies and practical tools she developed for realizing the potentials and avoiding the pitfalls of these planetary concentrations.

We can of course spot oppositions, trines, sextiles and squares with the naked eye. This does not invalidate other aspects. Several of these -- especially the 5th, 7th, and 9th -- tell us so much about a person's potential.

In this talk we also look at the impact of the recent Neptune-Pluto sept...

If we are honest about it, the old cartoon, "If my natal chart were a horary, the answer would be no!" is true. This fact should not be disturbing to us as astrologers, but instead should be the demonstration for why our craft is so needed to understand life. A statement of "no" is merely the rea...

Knowing that we strengthen whatever we resist, we are invited to step into a more intimate dance with all the inner and outer dementors. Tibetan Buddhist practice guides us to imagine a laser beam emanating from our third eye, sizzling off the lock holding back the demons, and extending the invit...

Astrology is a topic for intense study, one which engages the mind in delightful and fascinating ways. The more we study, however, the more we are drawn to think beyond the boundaries of our present life. When our curiosity takes us beyond those boundaries -- like a cat using up its nine lives --...

It's actually more complicated than just about anything else too! After years of studying this subject, I think that astrology does not "measure" compatibility, but it does make valid assessments of attraction and tolerance for another. In the past 40 years over 50 books have been written on "as...

As you gain a deeper understanding of this underlying symbolism of the signs and of their corresponding proce...
