You’ve all heard of Chiron but did you know he is the leader of a herd of Centaurs including the villainous Nessus? Or that Chiron has a wife named Chariklo? In this lecture, Zane Stein takes the group on a journey to meet these often primitive and unrestrained new bodies and shows how they help us to better understand what goes on deep within our unconscious minds.

Zane B. Stein led the astrological research into Chiron and published the first astrological text on Chiron a few years later. Much has been written about it since its discovery, and Chiron is now included in most astrology software programs. In this lecture, Zane will take you through some of the more ‘traditional’ meanings ascribed to Chiron. He will then explore some of the additional levels of meaning astrologers have uncovered over the past four decades.

In this lecture, Roderick Kidston explores the combined influence of the asteroids Iris and Flora in the horoscope. Flora aids the growth and, at best, the perfection of anything, and Iris brings light wherever she goes. The flow of the evolution of consciousness and the cyclic processes of increasing the growth and perfection of human understanding: these great gifts are amongst the highest offerings of these two goddesses, and of their sublimely beautiful planetary numina (or archetypes). The Iris-Flora synergy is a vehicle for some of the greatest gifts that lie in any horoscope, waiting for the right moment to unfurl their sweet petals of revelation and shine their light of illumination. Together they create the potential for a huge lift in culture and in the individual. Some of the most important spiritual exemplars and great thinkers in world history have been born with close Iris-Flora aspects. The conjunctions are especially important in this regard, yielding a group as diverse as Joan of Arc, Isaac Newton and the timing of the publication of his seminal studies of the nature of light, a grab bag of top 20th Century scientists, Martin Luther King, and Sri Aurobindo.

This lecture explores the eclipse cycle known as the lunar saros from an historical and astrological perspective. The mechanics of its operation are also explained, removing the mystery associated with the name. The first part is an introduction to the lunar saros eclipse cycle. During the second part of the lecture, Murray presents some of his case studies (charts) to demonstrate how the lunar saros represents a unique field of research. Pamela Rowe also comments on and demonstrates how Cosmobiology and midpoint theory can add clarity and depth to astrological research.

In the lead-up to December 2012, Michelle reflects on themes of collective and personal soul encodings through the symbolism of the Cross. In December 2012, the precessed Solstice Axis aligns with the meeting point of the Mayans’ Sacred Cross, the Galactic Centre. Does this symbolise a collective soul crossroads? On an individual level, each natal chart is constructed around the Cross of Matter. Michel Gauquelin’s indisputable findings on the Cross of Matter show hereditary patterns as well as predispositions towards excellence. Michelle explores how each person’s ASC-DSC-IC-MC Cross might indicate not only their personal soul project and its effect on the collective, but also the positive and negative parameters found through hereditary patterns.

Solar returns are one of the oldest of predictive techniques and can be applied to almost anything: marriage, business, mundane and of course natal. The way solar returns are used today differs from the traditional way of looking at these charts. This lecture explores different ways of using the solar return and in particular the method of combining profections with the return chart to give us more detail and precise information. Many chart examples are used to illustrate this.
