In its most basic uses, Astrology can be used to help understand our web of human relationships. In fact, Astrology can provide endless insight into how to best love those around us! Unlike any other study in existence, Astrology can be used to examine the emotional, mental, and practical landscape of any type of merging between two individuals. During this afternoon, we will turn the tables on fate and begin the art of uplifting ourselves through the manifestation of positive vibrational relationships. Participants will learn how to avert possible relationship disaster by checking theoretical composite charts, strengthen areas of weakness through intentional compositing, and to partner up with those people who will advance our life emotional, spiritually, materially, etc.

Students are encouraged to bring charts to be used as examples. All questions will be rendered from the “personal to the public” in order to teach to the entire group!

Andrea Gehrz is a practicing astrologer in Portland, Oregon, having done countless readings for a delightful and varied group of clients in her ten years of experience.

September 2012: Deborah Smith Parker – Pluto and USA

Pluto and the US

...


Pluto and the Chart of the USA

The Shifting Power Relationships among the People, the Government and Corporations

SPECIAL EVENT:
Sunday, September 23, 2012

1:00 – 3:00 PM

~~~
FEATURED PLANET: VENUS
~~~

Pluto has returned to the USA’s natal sign of Capricorn for the first time in our nation’s history but won’t reach its birth position of 27 degrees until 2022. A country with Pluto in Capricorn has a power base that defaults to corporations and their influence on government without intervention by the people and their advocates.

In astrology, Pluto works at a global level eventually giving the masses what they need to know to correct power inequities. First, he puts everyone through a long slow roll giving them time to feel the impact of power imbalances related to the sign he occupies. His intent isn’t to kill us individually, although it can sure feel like it—and at times we wish he would. Instead, he exposes what power inequities are killing us through collective thought and action, relative to the sign he’s in, ultimately providing opportunities for rebalancing power.

So what is Pluto’s first birthday in the USA chart going to provide us? Astrology helps us look forward, supported by looking backward at the progression of events fueled by Pluto. This eye-opening presentation traces Pluto through each astrological sign to show the shifting power dynamics in historical context, who is impacted, and what corrective measures are/were taken and implications for the future.

November 2012: Georgia Stathis – Financial Astrology

UPDATED

Georgia Stathis Workshop

Forecasting Trends in Financial Astrology

Some things to look for when…..

SPECIAL EVENT:
Sunday, November 18, 2012
1:00 – 5:00 PM
~~~
FEATURED PLANET: JUPITER*
~~~

Workshop Overview

Forecasting trends for public markets as well as individual charts are quite similar. We use the same techniques, but view them from a larger perspective. When working with money and finances, one cannot just know astrology. They also have to be aware of the greater marketplace and economic realities devoid of politics. This requires focus and objectivity and the ability to contrast and compare graphs with cycles.

Georgia Stathis will be presenting different ways of looking at future financial trends. Some of the topics covered are various financial cycles with a greater focus on the McWhirter or Nodal Cycle (which, of course, runs with the eclipses). In addition, she’ll discuss how to determine what chart to use and what chart not to use, for example, contrasting and comparing an incorporation chart with a first trade chart.

Synodic cycles (a major focus for her upcoming book) which are similar to the Lunation Cycle are discussed and examples shown along with what to look for in Ingress charts with examples of some recent ingresses of the outer planets.

Some of the charts to be explored are the Federal Reserve and New York Stock Exchange chart by David Beazley. If there is time, she may present some information on the differences between residential and land investments–her presentation from UAC 2012.

Attendees: It is suggested you bring both the 20th and 21st century ephemerides for your own edification and “a-ha” experiences.

July 2012: April Elliott Kent – Eclipse Cycles


Shadowlands:

Eclipse Cycles in the Natal Chart

SPECIAL EVENT:
Sunday, July 29, 2012

1:00 – 3:00 PM

~~~
FEATURED PLANET: SUN
~~~

Eclipses are often used in mundane astrology, but their 19-year cycles also offer rich insights into the natal chart. As eclipses move through the houses of the natal chart and aspect natal planets, they describe where you’re currently most interesting — where you are confronting developmental crisis. Which natal patterns currently demand your attention and willingness to change? When have you confronted similar challenges in the past — and how might you handle them more effectively in the present? Join astrologer and author April Elliott Kent for an exploration of natal eclipse cycles, an overview of 2012’s eclipses, and thoughts about what they’ll mean for you.

Including:

  • A brief explanation of the Saros and Metonic eclipse cycles
  • Interpretations of eclipses in natal houses and in aspect to natal planets
  • A demonstration of how to use these cycles to identify and understand crucial turning points in your own life.
