Interpreting the Rulers of the Houses and Timing Their Activation

Workshop: 1 p.m. – 5 p.m.
Timing Peaks and Transitions in Your Career, Health, and Relationships

Featured Sign: Aries

LOCATION CHANGE for this event: Due to the renovations on our clubhouse not yet being complete, we will be meeting at the Light Weavers Academy, 8421 Auburn Blvd, Ste 150, Citrus Heights, CA 95610, Map

MORNING LECTURE

Interpreting the Rulers of the Houses and Timing Their Activation

One of the keys to chart delineation is learning how to interpret the rulers of the 12 houses when they are in different houses. For example, what does it mean when the ruler of the 7th house is in the 11th house, or when ruler of the 10th is in the 9th? In this lecture attendees will learn how to interpret these placements, as well as how to identify when the topics associated with them will become activated at specific times in the life of the native by using a timing technique known as annual profections.

AFTERNOON WORKSHOP

Timing Peaks and Transitions in Your Career, Health, and Relationships

In this workshop you will learn how to time peak periods and transitions in a person’s career and life direction by using an ancient timing technique known as Zodiacal Releasing (ZR). This technique was only recently rediscovered through the translation of a 2nd century text, and it is quickly becoming recognized as one of the most powerful and effective predictive techniques available today.

Attendees will receive a detailed handout with their own periods (if pre-registered by March 27), and they will learn how to use the technique to determine high and low points in their career, as well as periods in which job changes are more likely. Later we will discuss how the technique can also be applied to other topics such as health and relationships.

TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THIS WORKSHOP:

Chris recommends that you compile a chronology of important events and turning points in your life, primarily with respect to career and overall life direction. This will come in handy as you learn the technique at the workshop. Even if you don’t have a chance to write out a full chronology, at least spend some time thinking about your past and try to construct an outline of some of the most important events in your life so far.

February 28, 2016: Marie O’Neill – Esoteric Astrology

Esoteric Astrology:
An Introduction

Marie O’Neill

February 28, 2016
1 p.m. – 4 p.m.

Featured Sign: Pisces

LOCATION CHANGE for this event: Due to the renovations on our clubhouse not yet being complete, we will be meeting in downtown Roseville at the Holistic Lighthouse – 401B Vernon St.

As a student of Evolutionary Astrology under the tutelage of Steven Forrest and Esoteric Astrology under the tutelage of Alan Oken – I have found that both systems complement each other. In Evolutionary Astrology we look to Pluto and the Nodes, using a psychological approach to tell us what our wounds are, where they came from and the hurdles we must traverse to heal. As Steven Says” “Everything in the chart is about integration.”

Esoteric Astrology focuses on the purpose of the soul through planetary rulerships and the seven rays. Therefore, the natal chart is delineated from a Soul Centered perspective – showing us our Soul or Higher Mind’s intention concerning how we are to contribute to the evolution of humanity. It is a system that not only shows you what your Soul’s intent is, but also gives you the Souls highest potential in a given incarnation. After you have evolved to a certain point, your traditional chart feels like who you were. The rulers of the chart no longer represent who you are.

Esoteric Astrology is a system to be used in conjunction with other systems; it is the icing on the cake, so to speak. This system gives each of us the goal of our lives – along with the road map to reach it.

The purpose of this talk is to introduce you to Esoteric Astrology. The focus will be on the esoteric meanings of each sign; the esoteric planetary rulers; and the seven rays that give the planets their energy along with sample chart readings.

Marie O’Neill (MBA) is the founder of Padma Life Coaching located in Santa Rosa California. Her specialties are: Astrology, Past Life Regression, Life Coaching and Tarot. Marie’s studies in astrology began more than 13 years ago, shortly after her first reading with an astrologer. Marie says “He knew things about me that he should not have known and I wanted to know – how he obtained this information.” After years of study – attending lectures, workshops, reading and erecting charts; Marie added ‘Evolutionary Astrologer’ to her tool chest – becoming certified through Steven Forrest’s Apprenticeship Program. In 2012 Marie began studying Esoteric Astrology with Alan Oken, as her mentor. She has found it to be a beneficial addition to her tool chest of skills. Marie believes – one can never know all there is to know about any subject and therefore, considers herself a life-long student. For information on services Marie offers go to: www.padmalifecoaching.com. You can also find her on the social media sites under: Padma Life Coaching.

June 28, 2015: Linda Byrd – Experiential Astrology & Chart Interpretation

Experiential Astrology

 

 

Experiential Astrology

Linda Byrd

AND CHART INTERPRETATION
Sunday, June 28, 2015, 1:00 – 4:00 pm

FEATURED PLANET*: Moon

Learning Astrology is usually a left brained activity. We show up, take copious notes and then try to remember what we learned. THIS WORKSHOP IS DIFFERENT! You will be involved in getting to know yourself through the lens of Astrology, from a feeling perspective. Find out what’s lurking in your psyche, shed light on and address what Steven Forrest so eloquently states as a fundamental issue we all face.

“Who we really are is in conflict with our social conditioning. The psyche demands resolution of this schism and the resolution is typically quite dramatic. There is resentment regarding other people’s expectations and a desire to avoid being defined by them. The universe is asking us exactly what price we’ll pay for honesty, integrity and freedom. ” ~Steven Forrest

While understanding is part of the solution, engaging feelings gives a deeper level of awareness and the key to freedom! Depending on how much time we have, these are some of the questions we will be addressing:

  • When you act like this, what are you avoiding?
  • How do you want people to perceive you? Why?
  • What makes you most happy? Experience your tribe!
  • What inner voice holds you back?

February 22, 2015: Frank Clifford – Jupiter/Forecasting Skills

 

Special Two-Part Event

Frank Clifford

February 22, 2015

Lecture: 10 a.m – 12 noon
Jupiter: It’s Too Much – But Is It Enough?

Workshop: 1 p.m. – 5 p.m.
The Rhythms of Your Life: Honing Your Forecasting Skills

 

 

Lecture and Workshop Details

LECTURE: Jupiter: It’s Too Much – But Is It Enough?

Jupiter reveals how and where we’re blessed – so much so that we can inspire others with its message. But can Jupiter be too much of a good thing? Frank will look at the charts of people with a prominent Jupiter to gauge its wide range of expression in temperament and manifestation. From the evangelist and guru to the con artist, from the philanthropist to the diva, we’ll examine the various exemplary and sinister sides to the Greater Benefic.

WORKSHOP: The Rhythms of Your Life: Honing Your Forecasting Skills

As consultant astrologers, rather than using forecasting tools to make firm predictions, we do our best work when we articulate the processes that can take place under various transits, progressions or directions. If you’ve ever been daunted or overwhelmed by forecasting, this seminar will offer a number of tools (including ‘Define and Connect’) to simplify the process of interpreting upcoming trends, and Frank will address a number of factors to take into consideration. Along the way, he’ll introduce you to the most reliable and accurate forecasting tool, Solar Arc Directions, and show you how to use these simply and effectively to achieve maximum results. You’ll be amazed!

Lunch Options

Between the lecture and workshop, we’ll provide a light, catered lunch available at a modest contribution of $10. Lunch will be light as many of you will want to join us to take Frank out at the Yard House for dinner after the workshop. You are also welcome to bring your own lunch, if you prefer. Sign up for lunch and or make your reservation for dinner below.

Frank Clifford Over the past twenty-five years, Frank Clifford has built an eclectic career as a consultant, publisher, columnist, media astrologer, lecturer, and a writer of a dozen books, including his textbook Getting to the Heart of Your Chart. Frank lives in England, where he runs The London School of Astrology (www.londonschoolofastrology.co.uk) and teaches astrology and palmistry in person and online. He writes for The Mountain Astrologer and guest-edited five recent issues. In 2012, Frank became the thirteenth (and youngest) recipient of The Charles Harvey Award, a lifetime achievement award for ‘exceptional service to astrology’. www.flareuk.com (website), [email protected]

Frank is offering consultations on Monday, Feb. 23

An astro-palmistry consultation in person lasts 90 mins, is recorded for you (on MP3), costs $180, and will take place at Frank’s hotel (details can be emailed). Frank looks at your hands and horoscope and also considers the next year or so ahead. He doesn’t tell you ‘what’s going to happen’ or tell you ‘what to do’; it is an opportunity to look at your character, needs, drives, as well as your current path – and/or to look at a specific area of your life. It is not about ‘predictions’. With context, you can work with Frank to look at where you’re at, where you want to go and what you need – and he will look at what the hands and horoscope have to say about these things. Frank also practises Electional Astrology (electing the best start time for a venture) and Locational Astrology (the most fortuitous places to be in America or worldwide). Before arriving, have a think about what you would like to discuss and come with questions because 90 mins goes quickly! Email Frank at [email protected] to sign up!

And, last but not least, Frank has sent three articles for your reading pleasure:

Workshop Details

Join us for our 2014 Astrodrama and Experiential Astrology Workshop. Experiential Astrology and Astrodrama are ways of acting out the planets in your chart, with the help of others, to give you an experience of how these energies feel and operate inside you and in your life.  Experiential astrology takes studying the stars out of a purely mental pursuit to include the body, mind and spirit.  Its somatic emphasis offers an opportunity to feel the energies, often accompanied by instant insights. The April/May issue (#168) of The Mountain Astrologer focuses on Experiential Astrology.  Within this issue Tom Brady describes: “…in the lexicon of philosophy, ‘experientialism’ is the position that concrete experience is both the origin and ultimate validation of all human knowledge.  Experiential astrology then, is any form of practice that conveys information through sensory impressions rather than language-mediated intellectual constructs”.

Nodes: East & West Views / Chart Interpretation

 

Lunar Nodes: Evolution of Eastern and Western Views

and Chart Interpretation (2nd house*)

Facilitated by Chet Zdrowski

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

Lecture Details

Astrological symbols evolve over time, just as people and societies do. How did the Lunar Nodes get “spiritual” in the West? How did the Lunar Nodes get more “psychological” in India? In this presentation we will look at the mythology of the lunar nodes and the development of how they are used in India and in the West; traditional and modern teachings will be explored.

The lunar nodes have been used for many centuries in India; in fact they are considered shadow planets. In the West they have taken an increasingly prominent role. We will explore the cultural influences that have moved in both directions. We will look at the ground breaking teachings of Rudhyar, Jeff Green, Steven Forrest and others that have shaped how the nodal axis is seen in modern astrology. We will also explore the teachings of some modern Indian astrologers who are expanding their tradition, such as Bepin Behari, Komilla Sutton and Prash Trevadi. On the surface there are major differences, but by going deeper we can find some common threads and themes that will help to understand this vital axis. 

Chet Zdrowski

Chet Zdrowski

Chet Zdrowski began studying astrology in 1977 with the psychological approach of renowned astrologer Richard Idemon and later the transpersonal astrology of Dane Rudhyar and Steve Arroyo. For the past seven years he has studied in Steven Forrest’s Evolutionary Astrology Apprenticeship program, learning a deep fusion of psychological, transpersonal astrology with ancient metaphysics. Chet combines the depth of his understanding of astrology with a strong desire to help people discover their unique gifts and evolutionary paths.

Chart Interpretation

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

IMPORTANT! Chart Interpretation Guidelines. Thank you for becoming familiar with the attached Guidelines for Chart Interpretation Meetings. It is extremely important, especially when looking at personal charts in a group, that we create an atmosphere of safety and non-judgment in helping others learn more about their astrological map. Another key concept is that the owner of the chart is the ultimate authority on what resonates to him or her. These concepts will “go without saying” for many of us, but we’re a group open to the public and individuals vary in their sensitivity to these issues. Thank you for reading the guidelines and following them.

About Chart Interpretation Meetings: Mastery of chart reading skills is where the rubber hits the road, transferring theory to practice in astrology. The Leadership Team feels this type of meeting serves many purposes:

  • Sharpen our skills on what’s important in a chart reading
  • Increase our chart synthesis skills
  • Increase confidence in our interpretations
  • Enjoy the support of others at all ends of the learning spectrum on chart reading in an environment of non-judgment and encouragement
  • Get live practice or be the live recipient of pooled astrological knowledge
