Chet Zdrowski
Uranus, Gaia, and Change
Sunday, January 27, 2019
2 pm – 4:30 pm
NEW LOCATION
Sylvan Community Center
7521 Community Drive, Citrus Heights
Uranus, Neptune and Pluto represent powerful forces of change and transformation. They operate on large cultural levels and in our personal lives. They can be disruptive, emotionally difficult, and sometimes liberating. The changes symbolized by Uranus in particular often have an “out of the blue” feeling that can surprise, shock or awaken us. We crave change and we often fear it, but life itself is continuous change that can’t be stopped.
Uranus will make its full-scale entry into Taurus on March 6th 2019. The last seven years of Uranus in Aries have been pretty raucous. Now the focus of change is shifting to the earth sign Taurus. The next seven years could be pivotal in our relationship with Gaia, Mother Earth. The genius quality of Uranus may well prove to be our best hope for saving the planet. Understanding how Uranus operates in our chart and in the world can help us stay flexible and ready for change. Join us in exploring this amazing planet as it awakens, surprises and hopefully inspires us.
Chet Zdrowski has been a student and practitioner of astrology since 1977. He studied for several years with the late Richard Idemon and 12 years with Steven Forrest. Chet’s greatest pleasure is to alert people to their unique gifts and individual path, and to help them understand and navigate their current life challenges. In addition to working with clients, teaching and writing, the primary focus of his current work is presenting Dane Rudhyar’s teachings in an accessible and entertaining form to astrologers everywhere. Chet is the founder and leader of the “Transpersonal Astrology Group” that meets in Fair Oaks California. You can reach Chet at www.czastrology.com.

Two-Part Lecture and Workshop Event
Wade Caves
August 26, 2018
Lecture : 10 a.m – 12 noon
Workshop: 1 p.m. – 5 p.m.
Morning Lecture:
Connections in Horary Astrology
As astrologers, we seek to form connections between the microcosm and the macrocosm through interpretation of planetary symbolism. Horary astrology often accomplishes this as a standalone technique, and yet each horary necessarily carries the signature of larger astrological cycles being unfolded. This talk explores horary’s relationship to natal, electional and resolution charts, and how these connections impact upon our understanding of the power and purpose of astrology.
Afternoon Workshop:
The Divinatory Art of Horary Astrology
Horary astrology is a remarkably decisive technique that allows both astrologer and client to cut to the chase of a seemingly unsolvable dilemma. Through chart delineation, the client’s range of options are assessed and thoroughly explored. In this workshop we will study the guiding principles of horary technique, using both historical and modern examples. We will explore charts related to relationships and pregnancy, career and finance, missing objects and more, with a mind to what is generalizable across fields of questioning. Suitable for all levels, regardless of prior horary experience.
