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.

Maurice Fernandez
Jupiter: Truth AND Dare
Stay at Home Webinar
Sunday, March 22, 2026
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!

The Double Dawn:
The Two Year Story of the 2026 Aries Ingress
Stay at Home Webinar
Sunday, January 25, 2026
2 – 4 PM PT
2026 opens with an Aries Ingress that behaves less like a single-year chart and more like the first movement of a two-year cycle.
In this talk, I’ll walk through how I read Aries Ingress charts. what I prioritize, how I evaluate structure and timing, and the cues that show whether a year stands alone or belongs to a longer arc. I’ll also highlight how the Saturn–Neptune conjunction, the year’s eclipses, and the Venus retrograde echo the same transitional tone implied in the Ingress itself.
We’ll look at why the Aries emphasis of 2026 sets the ignition point and how Jupiter’s move into Leo amplifies the story as it carries into 2027, creating a clear “Part I / Part II” dynamic.
