Chet Zdrowski
Saturn, Karma and Your Life Cycles
Sunday, February 25, 2018
1 pm – 3:30 pm
NEW LOCATION: LIGHTWEAVER’S ACADEMY
The astrological symbolism of Saturn is far more complex and multifaceted than many commonly believe. Time, matter, karma and limitations are woven into the fabric of Saturn, and each of these threads leads us into some fascinating, helpful territory. Far from something to avoid or be fearful about, Saturn is a major key to happy living and fulfillment.
Saturn connects our daily lives and our inner lives in some surprising ways, we’ll explore how to deepen and work with these connections and how to move past some of our unnecessary limitations.
The ringed planet is involved in a number of powerful cycles that structure how our lives unfold. We’ll use example charts and charts of audience members to show how to use these cycles both in readings and in our own lives.
Chet Zdrowski has been a student and practitioner of astrology since 1977. He studied for several years with the late Richard Idemon, and is deeply influenced by the work of Dane Rudhyar and Robert Hand. Since 2005 he has studied with Steven Forrest in his Evolutionary Astrology Apprenticeship program. Psychology, meditation, perennial philosophy and music are also lifelong passions. Chet’s approach is grounded in the real-world experiences of parenting, marriage, business and the work world. His greatest pleasure is to alert people to their unique gifts, to inspire them to move forward on their unique individual path, and to help them move through the patterns that limit them and cause unhappiness. Chet is also the founder and leader of the “Transpersonal Astrology Group” that meets in Fair Oaks CA. You can reach Chet at www.czastrology.com.

Jung, Astrology, and Dreams:
An Experiential Workshop
Sunday, November 12, 2017
1 pm – 5 pm
Jung cast birth charts for his patients and also studied their dreams. Following Jung’s example, this presentation explores the connection between planetary symbols and archetypal figures and themes appearing in our dreams. We’ll consider how dreams reflect celestial symbolism while astrology reveals the internal order and meaning of dreams. Combining astrology and dreams has the power to awaken us emotionally and energetically. Participants are invited to bring a dream along with their natal chart and transits and will be eligible to have their dream/chart used as an example. Preference given to those who pre-register.

Alexandra Karacostas
Twelve Steps to Chart Analysis
Sunday, August 27, 2017
1 pm – 4 pm
In this presentation, we will discuss horoscope delineation in the western astrological tradition, from a humanistic (person-centered) and trans-personal approach. Astrology is a rich, symbolic, and archetypal language used to understand the world at large as well as the world within. It is the study of nature’s celestial cycles, the mandala of life, from the universal to the personal. There are as many ways to delineate a chart as there are astrologers.
A horoscope is a blueprint of the sky at any given moment and place on earth. The word “horoscope” stems from the Greek, hōroskopos, from hōra ‘time’ + skopos ‘observer’. It is essential to have a good understanding of the language and definition of the planets, signs, and houses. With a feel for the qualities they represent you will be able to make sense of charts.
The method I use has evolved over decades of study and practice, using diverse techniques from various traditions. Take what is useful to you and leave the rest. Above all, try various techniques to find what rings true for you. Discover how this powerful language speaks to you! (more…)

Chet Zdrowski
How Deep is the Moon
Sunday, June 25 , 2017
1 pm – 4 pm
The Moon can be called the deepest symbol in astrology. Lunar symbolism has many layers, from the feelings of the present moment, all the way to our deepest memories and conditioning. Our level of happiness, our reactions, how we care for ourselves and others, how we adapt to life are all intertwined with the natal Moon.
The rhythms of our unfolding inner life are reflected in the Progressed Moon cycles while many of the rhythms of our material life are reflected in the Part of Fortune and Part of Spirit. Links to our deepest past are reflected in the New Moon before birth and the nodes of the Moon. The Moon is truly very, very deep.
In this talk we’ll explore the Moon’s phases, the Progressed Moon cycle, the New Moon before birth, the Part of Fortune and Spirit, and the lunar nodes. Example charts will be used to demonstrate how to apply these techniques in readings.
Chet Zdrowski has been a student and practitioner of astrology since 1977. He studied for several years with the late Richard Idemon, and is deeply influenced by the work of Dane Rudhyar and Robert Hand.

Lecture and Workshop Event
Mark Jones
May 21, 2017
Lecture : 10 a.m – 12 noon
Workshop: 1 p.m. – 5 p.m.
Pre-registration is closed for this event but we have a few seats left. Be sure to Contact Us if you are planning to come and pay at the door. We don’t want to have to turn people away. Thanks, and we hope you can make it!
Lecture:
The Pathway of the Moon: The Lunar Nodes as the key to personal evolution
This talk rediscovers the work of Dane Rudhyar on the Lunar Nodes and expands upon it to create a technically simple but psychologically profound way of exploring personal evolution through the birth-chart. The Nodes will be seen as expressing the arc of personal evolution and planets conjunct and square the nodes will be explored as influences upon that personal trajectory. The talk will be illustrated with examples from Mark’s extensive client work.
Workshop:
The Outer Planets as the Higher Octave of the Inner Planets:
How transpersonal forces shape personal evolution
This workshop re-examines Rudhyar’s work on the outer planets being “higher octaves” of the inner planets. It explores the idea of the outer planets as representative of qualities within the Soul or Deep Self. This workshop introduces the idea that understanding the way that transpersonal energy shapes personal evolution, i.e. outer planets in aspect to inner planets or the lunar nodes, is the key to enable powerful transformation within the individual. The teaching will be illustrated with powerful case studies.
