Lecture/Workshop Topics
1. Pluto – Death or
Transformation?
Getting
to know Pluto--the only planet over which we have no control. Pluto's
cycles coincide with dramatic life changes that strip away what 's no
longer meant to be and, willingly or unwillingly, return us to our
essence.
This
talk provides an understanding of how the Pluto process affects
individuals and the collective and shows how its cycles bring what has
been previously unconscious, or suppressed, to the surface. It
illustrates how Pluto's transit of Scorpio differs from that of Libra
and Virgo and how its transit of Sagittarius will differ from Scorpio.
Pluto, now moving faster than ever before, ushers in a new age.

2. Relationships & Astrology
All relationships
reflect the relationship we have with ourselves. Emotional and
psychological patterns in the birth chart enhance or inhibit
relationships. A relationship with another person can only bring forth
what an individual is already like. This talk identifies relational
patterns and needs and how to assist clients (or oneself) in working
through inherent difficulties.
Synastry
with another person should be considered after a significant
understanding of how two people function on their own is established.
Synastry is defined more as synergy than whether or not the aspects are
harsh or favorable.

3. Secrets of Astrology Chart Interpretation
The
birth chart is a complex picture of a person's life potential. This talk
gives a step-by-step approach to interpreting astrology charts that
focuses on the way people actually live. Astrology chart Interpretation
shows how to discover a person's priorities, talents and abilities,
work and money-making capabilities, how he/she interacts in all
relationships, and any problems that arise in any of these areas. It
goes on to show how to assist clients in working through problems
indicated by the clients' value system, not the astrologers.

4. Overcoming Astrological Obstacles & Psychological
Obstacles
The
astrological chart shows the sum total of a person's life potential. In
addition to inherent abilities--the things one does well
naturally--each chart has inherent obstacles that can thwart happiness
or success. Problems stem from incompatible needs as defined by the
planets, astrology signs, and astrological houses and from difficult
aspects from the outer planets to the inner ones. This talk shows how
to identify conflicting astrological & psychological needs and
provides practical insights as to how to overcome them. Lecture or
workshop.
5. Predictive Astrology Techniques
Accurate
predictive work requires an integration of various astrology
techniques. This talk defines transits, secondary progressions, solar
arcs, and midpoints. It shows how to use each of these methods for best
results in predictive astrology, whether that predictive astrology is
psychological or event oriented. It demonstrates how to combine the use
of these astrological methods in forecasting life's cycles and events.
ASTROLOGY LECTURE
(If this is an ASTROLOGY WORKSHOP,
it shows what to expect from the transits of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus,
Neptune, and Pluto to natal planets and midpoints).
6. Secondary Astrological Progressions
Secondary
astrological progressions, or approximately an ephemeris day for a year
of life, provide a better tool for psychological understanding of the
astrology chart than a predictive astrology technique. As planets move
from one sign to another or change from direct to Retrograde or
Retrograde to Direct in motion, an individual's psychological makeup
and needs change.
ASTROLOGY LECTURE
7. Working with Astrological Transits
Astrological
Transits of Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto to the birth chart
represent major turning points in a person's life. This talk spells out
the meanings of these astrological transits in terms of event
orientation and psychological and spiritual understanding. It goes on
to show how the same astrology cycles affect people differently
depending upon the make up of their birth chart. Lastly, it shows how
to interpret differing astrologic cycles occurring at the same time in
a person's life. The participants will come away with a better
understanding of how to make astrologic predictions, whether those
astrology predictions are event oriented or psychological.

8. Astrological Cycles of Aging
Saturn,
Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto cycles occur at defined periods of life,
making change or adjustments inevitable. Uranus opposition Uranus
somewhere between 38 and 42 is the rallying point for mid-life crisis.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, this crisis is more difficult than
ever, being complicated by Neptune square Neptune and Pluto square

10. Family Astrology – How and Why We Get Along
Family
dynamics, astrologically speaking, include both shared and dissimilar
planetary traits. Certain astrology sign, planet, and aspect patterns
tend to show up in members of a family. These astrologic factors
represent "inherited traits" that get passed down from
generation to generation. Dissimilarities of these astrological factors
make it difficult for family members to feel as if they belong. For
instance, a predominately air sign child can have difficulty
communicating in a household where water signs predominate.

RELATIONSHIPS
11. Astrological Synastry – Or How Can I Relate To You?
First,
it's necessary to establish an understanding of how two people function
on their own. Each person has his or her own style of relating. Synastry
compares astrology charts. This shows how people interact with one
another, whether their relational expectancies are likely to be met,
and what growth may be needed to maintain connectedness.

12. How to Make Mundane Astrological Predictions
Cities,
towns, and countries have birth charts just like individuals. The
astrology chart of a president, prime minister, or dictator of a
country, or the governor of a state, or the mayor of a town reflects
not only that person's astrological cycles, but also what's likely to
occur within the country, state, or town they govern. This talk shows
you how to combine the birth chart of a place and its leader to make
accurate mundane astrological predictions.

Quadruplicities
The
balance of the elements and quadruplicities in an astrology chart set

face life from different perspectives as do cardinal, fixed, and
mutable signs. Understanding this balance within an individual provides
a key for accurate chart interpretation
