Lecture Details

If Astrology is alive, how do we experience it? One way to experience astrology is to look at it in a different way, literally. Rather than thinking in words and literate terms, let’s render astrological archetypes, or symbology, in visual terms. Rendering the astrological pantheon in visual terms has many inherent benefits including bypassing the literate brain and accessing not only the subconscious, but also all of the collected visual and related data stored in each person’s databank brain. We will discover a new visual foundational framework from which to present astrology. Utilizing the power of imagery, consider, if you will, the planets as actors wearing the costumes or using the tools of the various Zodiacal signs while performing on one of the 12 stages or houses of life. The presentation will include an experiential session where everyone will have a chance to view their charts in a new way via AstroCards.

Ceres

and Chart Interpretation (5th house*)

Facilitated by Georgia Dempsey

Sunday, July 27, 2014, 1:00-3:30 pm $5- NCGR/SAA Members, $15 – Nonmembers

Lecture Details

We will cover the mythology of the dwarf planet Ceres in depth, to include environmentalism, issues of loss and abandonment, nurturing and life cycles. Ceres packs a powerful psychological punch where it falls in our charts, so we’ll be touching upon its impacts, especially as it relates to contacts with other planets and house transits. Anyone who is interested in finding the strength and resiliency of their anima will enjoy learning about about this empowering planet for it teaches us how to overcome loss and find grace, despite difficulties.

Georgia Dempsey

Georgia Dempsey: I am new to the astrology scene but am hooked! Started studying 5 years ago as a lark to survive a difficult work situation. In time, I started to see priceless things playing out between charts and that was a huge epiphany. As a NPS Ranger, you know that we are all connected on a certain level. All it takes is watching energy cycle through nature to come to that conclusion. To see that theme played out again through the heavens was an awakening and a reaffirmation of the thought that we are all truly in this thing together. Astrology has thus become a part of spiritual path.

Chart Interpretation

Following the presentation on Ceres, we’ll be looking at the chart of one of our members. Join our mailing list to receive more chart details.

Planets Conjunct the Sun

Sunday, August 24, 2014
1:00-3:30 pm

FEATURED HOUSE: 6th

~~~

Lecture Details

Of the hundreds of planetary aspects we astrologers use every day, there is only one which renders a planet invisible: a conjunction with the Sun. Despite the frequency with which this occurs, there is disagreement about how to interpret it. Does visibility matter? Traditional astrologers certainly thought so: modern astrologers, not so much. Join Linea in a fascinating exploration of “combustion,” as this position was traditionally called. Both classical and modern views will be explained, as well as the psychological expression and resolution for this common chart condition. Workshop includes a much deeper look, including techniques from other traditions, a more thorough discussion of astronomy and related mechanics, plus descriptions and chart examples for each planet.
