July 22 – Linda Kaye, Preparing for the Eclipses

 

Linda Kaye

Preparing for the Eclipses

Sunday, July 22, 2018
1 pm – 3:30 pm

   LOCATION: LIGHTWEAVER’S ACADEMY

Eclipses are historically known as transformational and often intense periods, both individually and collectively. On the personal level, Eclipses act in a particularly potent manner that can initiate rebirth, and regeneration or reorient one’s life.  In this interactive presentation, Linda Kaye will review your chart and help you navigate the upcoming Eclipses occurring on July 27 (Lunar) and Aug 11 (Solar).

A Master Astrologer with more than 25 years of experience, Linda Kaye holds a B.A. in Astrological Arts and Sciences from Kepler College in Seattle. She teaches workshops and classes and leads seasonal events timed to planetary happenings, while maintaining a busy Northern California-based astrological practice where she conducts client sessions in person, by phone and through Skype. www.lindakayeastrology.com.

September 24 – Georgia Stathis: Antiscia – Solstice Points

 

Lecture and Workshop Event

Georgia Stathis

September 24, 2017

Antiscia, Prenatal eclipses, Eclipses & other ‘unseen’ things in the chart.

Lecture : 10 a.m – 12 noon

Workshop: 1 p.m. – 5 p.m.

Antiscia are the mirror images on either side of either the Fall Equinox (00º) or Summer Solstice (00 Cancer) in your chart. They must add up to 30 degrees. For example, if someone has their Sun at 20º Scorpio, their Antiscia (also termed Solstice Point) for the Sun is 10º Aquarius. The sign of Scorpio is closer to 00º Libra rather than 00º Cancer, thus we use that point for measurement. When something like Mars crosses 10º Aquarius in this case, then it is like Mars traveling over your Sun at 20º Scorpio. It is hidden but still may have the same impact. This is information that can be very useful for planning or timing.

Another hidden thing in the chart is the placement of the pre-natal eclipse. Where that is placed is important for unraveling where we are blocked or fearful and where we have an opportunity to break through ‘the sheath of the earth’ as Robert Jansky once wrote. Eclipses are about shadows and unraveling those shadows and breaking through to light.

Usually we can see what is happening in charts with such things as transits, secondary progressions and one of my favorites, solar arcs, but these other pieces can sometimes mean the difference between insight pushing the client to shift or leaving the session with an implied hunger – and not being able to identify it. The Antiscia, placements of the pre-natal eclipses, and where the eclipses are occurring in their charts open the doors to another way of seeing things

  • The morning lecture will cover the explanation of these points.

  • In the afternoon workshop we will lean how to apply Antiscia – Solstice Points to a chart – yours or someone else’s.

Pre-register online by September 21 and send in your birth information (date, time and location) to Georgia and she will bring your Antiscia and natal charts with the pre-natal eclipses in them for you to use during the workshop. Registering early for this event is crucial in order to receive this special chart. However, you can still learn a great deal by coming at the last minute as well. These points can also be found in Solar Fire.

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.
