        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.ASTROLOGY LECTURE

 2. Relationships & AstrologyAll 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.ASTROLOGY LECTURE
        or ASTROLOGY WORKSHOP
 3. Secrets of Astrology Chart InterpretationThe
        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.ASTROLOGY LECTURE
        or ASTROLOGY WORKSHOP
 4. Overcoming Astrological Obstacles & Psychological
        ObstaclesThe
        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 TechniquesAccurate
        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 ProgressionsSecondary
        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 TransitsAstrological
        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.ASTROLOGY WORKSHOP
 8. Astrological Cycles of AgingSaturn,
        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
        Pluto occurring closer together than any other time. This talk focuses
        on how these astrology cycles influence individuals and the world at
        large.ASTROLOGY LECTURE
        or ASTROLOGY WORKSHOP
 9. Learning from SaturnSaturn
        is the planet of discipline, duty, responsibility. It brings a person
        what he has earned--one way or the other. This talks focuses on the
        lessons of Saturn in the natal chart and by transit. It shows how to
        determine whether a Saturn transit is likely to provide a just reward
        for hard work or a punishment for what's been done wrongly or left
        undone.ASTROLOGY LECTURE
 10. Family Astrology – How and Why We Get AlongFamily
        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.ASTROLOGY LECTURE

        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.ASTROLOGY LECTURE
 12. How to Make Mundane Astrological PredictionsCities,
        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.ASTROLOGY LECTURE
        or ASTROLOGY WORKSHOP
 13. Psychological Needs Based Upon Elements and
        QuadruplicitiesThe
        balance of the elements and quadruplicities in an astrology chart set
        up fundamental psychological needs. Fire, earth, air, and water signs
        face life from different perspectives as do cardinal, fixed, and
        mutable signs. Understanding this balance within an individual provides
        a key for accurate chart interpretationASTROLOGY LECTURE
 14. Getting to Know the Planets, AstrologicallyAll
        planets function within material, psychological, emotional, and
        spiritual dimensions. This talk provides an understanding of how each
        planet operates within these dimensions and how, in turn, this affects
        an individual's life. Beginners will learn planetary meanings and more
        advanced astrologers will gain new perspectives.ASTROLOGY LECTURE
        or ASTROLOGY WORKSHOP
 15. Getting to Know NeptuneNeptune enhances one's spiritual longings,
        sympathy, compassion, universal love, creative urges, and idealism. On
        the Tree of Life of the Kabbalah, Neptune
        is associated with Kether, the most spiritual point on the Tree, the
        closest to Heaven. Yet, here on earth, Neptune
        frequently contributes to fog, illusion, escapism, and victimization.
        This talk shows the potential Neptune
        holds for humanity and the pitfalls to be overcome in order to reach
        this potential.ASTROLOGY LECTURE
 16. Composite and Relationship ChartsThis
        talk reveals how composite astrology and relationship astrology charts
        affect interpersonal relationships. It shows how these astrological
        charts fill in missing material from the comparison of birth charts.
        Then it demonstrates the use astrological transits, astrological
        progressions and directions to these astrology charts in the timing of
        relational events.ASTROLOGY LECTURE
 17. Astrology and the KabbalahThe Kabbalistic
        Tree of Life denotes God's descent into man and man's ascent upwards.
        The Sephiroth on the Tree of Life correlate with planetary energies and
        provide insights into the deeper meanings of the planets as well as how
        to uplift human consciousness.  This
        talk discusses the meaning of the Tree of Life from a spiritual
        perspective and correlates its meaning with astrology. It also shows
        how to balance psycho/spiritual problems based upon the TreeASTROLOGY LECTURE
