The Astrology of AI

A New Instrument of Knowing and The Shadow of the Synthetic Mind

Sunday, May 3, 2026 1-4 pm

In-person event at Cooperative Extension
4145 Branch Center Rd, Sacramento, CA 95827

This three-hour workshop explores the emergence of artificial intelligence through the lens of astrology, philosophy, and planetary consciousness.

Part One: Conceptual Framework (Lecture & Discussion)

The opening section introduces the core ideas from The Astrology of AI: The Next Octave of Knowing and The Shadow of the Synthetic Mind. Building on the vision of humanity as the Earth’s cognitive organ, the session examines AI as a potential extension of planetary awareness, while also addressing its shadow: power concentration, abstraction without value, ecological cost, and ethical risk. Astrology is presented as humanity’s original symbolic language—one uniquely suited to illuminating this threshold moment. Case studies include charts associated with pivotal figures and events in the development of AI, and the public emergence of OpenAI’s ChatGPT and other AI platforms.

Part Two: Live Demonstrations — AI as Symbolic Synthesizer

The second half of the workshop shifts from theory to practice.

We will explore various AI platforms and compare their ability to synthesize astrological symbolism. Personal and mundane charts are explored to show how AI may be used to integrate archetypal themes into coherent narratives.

Focus & Takeaway

This workshop is NOT about surrendering astrological authority to technology. Rather, it investigates how augmented intelligence can serve to supplement the astrologer’s role.

Cycles of Being

The cyclic experience—in the biosphere, personal space-time, and the unfolding resonance of planetary cycles

Sunday, November 10, 2024 1-4 pm

In-person event at Cooperative Extension 4145 Branch Center Rd, Sacramento, CA 95827

At the foundation of any holistic approach to astrology is the experience of relatedness between macrocosm and microcosm—between cycles of planetary motion and the unfoldment of individual consciousness. As Dane Rudhyar states. “Astrology is philosophically meaningless unless it rests on a thorough understanding of cycles and the creative potency of every moment.” In this workshop we will revisit Rudhyar’s foundational ideas of cyclicity, and the associated concepts of wholes in time and space, and the “self” centered astrological mandala as a means to reveal personal resonance with astrological archetypes.

In the second half of this workshop, we will have some hands-on practical applications and shared insights using the Phase Mandala and other cycle mapping tools designed by the speaker. These tools can be accessed here*. * Note: The link to this online folder will contain the relevant media closer to the date of the workshop. To complement the presentation, audio selections from Rudhyar’s recorded lectures, readings and music are included.

Attendees will receive a 16 GB USB drive with the presentation, printout files for Cyclic Phase Charting and others. In addition, the USB drive will contain the published audio archive of Rudhyar’s taped lectures, including readings and poetry from his works. 
 
Following the workshop, we plan to take Tony out to dinner at a nearby restaurant and attendees are most welcome to join us!
