Estelle California
Family Patterns, Timing, and Collective Events
Sunday, September 27, 2026 1-4 pm
In-person event at Cooperative Extension
4145 Branch Center Rd, Sacramento, CA 95827
Major life events appear simultaneously in the charts of connected family members. The Universe organizes timing across family systems in a remarkably ordered way, and this workshop explores how those patterns become visible through events.
We will examine how family members are connected through shared degree patterns within the same modalities and how transits activate multiple charts at once, revealing the underlying architecture of collective patterns.
Using the modal cross as a foundational predictive framework and structural lens, we will learn to track how events move through a family system, revealing both individual experiences and shared timing.
Through real chart examples and participant charts, we will practice using multi-synastry techniques and transit wheels to understand how collective family events unfold and how prediction becomes significantly more precise when we expand our perspective beyond a single chart and begin working with the family system as a whole.
We’ll explore:
- The modal cross as a structural framework for family systems and predictive astrology
- How transits and family events activate multiple charts simultaneously
- Why prediction becomes more precise when working with interconnected charts
Please bring:
- At least two charts from connected family members in Placidus.
- One significant date of a family event to investigate
French-born and California-based, Estelle California is an evolutionary and predictive astrologer and a recording artist. Her practice bridges technical research and spiritual insight, focusing on the grand orchestration of timing, karma, and collective cycles. Her work explores the hidden architecture beneath subconscious patterns, trauma, and the soul’s evolutionary intent, revealing the structured coherence within chaos and the larger intelligence at work through both personal and historical events. She studies how planetary cycles shape individual lives and collective movements, and how hardship, survival strategies, and pivotal life experiences become catalysts for purpose, power, and transformation. This work comes together in “Forged”, a Pluto-based course for individuals and practitioners that reframes the subconscious survival patterns in the birth chart as the precise training for personal power. Estelle will be presenting at UAC 2026 in Chicago. Find more info at https://www.estellecalifornia.com/

The Astrology of AI
A New Instrument of Knowing and The Shadow of the Synthetic Mind
Sunday, May 3, 2026 1-4 pm
In-person event at Cooperative Extension
4145 Branch Center Rd, Sacramento, CA 95827
This three-hour workshop explores the emergence of artificial intelligence through the lens of astrology, philosophy, and planetary consciousness.
Part One: Conceptual Framework (Lecture & Discussion)
The opening section introduces the core ideas from The Astrology of AI: The Next Octave of Knowing and The Shadow of the Synthetic Mind. Building on the vision of humanity as the Earth’s cognitive organ, the session examines AI as a potential extension of planetary awareness, while also addressing its shadow: power concentration, abstraction without value, ecological cost, and ethical risk. Astrology is presented as humanity’s original symbolic language—one uniquely suited to illuminating this threshold moment. Case studies include charts associated with pivotal figures and events in the development of AI, and the public emergence of OpenAI’s ChatGPT and other AI platforms.
Part Two: Live Demonstrations — AI as Symbolic Synthesizer
The second half of the workshop shifts from theory to practice.
We will explore various AI platforms and compare their ability to synthesize astrological symbolism. Personal and mundane charts are explored to show how AI may be used to integrate archetypal themes into coherent narratives.
Focus & Takeaway
This workshop is NOT about surrendering astrological authority to technology. Rather, it investigates how augmented intelligence can serve to supplement the astrologer’s role.

Jupiter: Truth AND Dare
Stay at Home Webinar

2 – 4 PM PT
Mighty and adored, Jupiter is the giant of astrology everyone wants a piece of! Jupiter’s blessings often capture the benevolent side of life, representing the principles of expansion and abundance that engender opportunity in our lives. Notwithstanding, Jupiter is also prominent in the charts of tyrants and in other less glamorous circumstances. How to reconcile those extremes?
We will explore:
– The True nature of Jupiter
– The Daring urge for magnificence
– How to handle the Shadow side and Karmic implications
– Jupiter Transits for the next years ahead – what to expect.
Truth AND Dare, Jupiter takes us to the edge of our soul!
