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 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

ARMAND DIAZ
Integral Astrology:
Understanding the Ancient Discipline in the Contemporary World
Sunday, October 27, 2013
1:00-3:30 pm
FEATURED SIGN: Scorpio*
~~~
Lecture Details
Western. Indian. Uranian. Traditional. Psychological. Evolutionary. There isn’t one astrology out there, there are many. When things go well, the astrologer and client (or student and teacher) are speaking the same language. Part of that is mystical, synchronistic, or just plain luck, but there is another dimension that we don’t often consider: consciousness. Join Armand Diaz for a fascinating and fun ride through the history of consciousness, making stops along the way to discover the homes of various astrologies. In no time at all you’ll see why you are drawn to a particular kind of astrology, and why you can do astrology for some people and not others. And, as a bonus, you’ll even learn the many meanings of the moon in the 3rd house!
