The cycle of the Lunar Nodes through Gemini and Sagittarius has seen the World restricted, through three seasons of Draconic Bowls, trapping the planets within one hemisphere of the chart for periods of approximately three months at a time! What can we expect from the new cycle of Taurus and Scorpio, and what role will Uranus in Taurus play as he breaks up the continuing development of this troublesome pattern? “Ouranean” destructor or “Promethean” redeemer? This lecture analyzes the 168 year cycle of Uranus and the North Node in Taurus and its historical impact, as an introduction to what can be expected from the current eighteen and a half month Nodal cycle from January 2022 to July 2023. -
There are treasures and dangers in Pluto’s impact, and, as astrologers, we see the energy available not the details of how this plays out, and we don’t always get it right! Sometimes the astrologer’s perception is darkened by their unresolved experiences being projected onto the client. Sometimes we get it right but it’s too much for the client to hear. So how do you read a potentially transformative transit or solar arc that may also be lethal? By focusing on the evolution of our understanding of Pluto, and drawing from significant world events, Margaret Wood intends to expand our awareness of the extraordinary force of Pluto. She will also use case notes to highlight some of the pitfalls and potentials of working with Pluto. -

In particular I examine the connections between the sun in natal astrology and the life line on the hands and how to interpret the different features shown on the life line with transits to the sun. -
Neptune is a mysterious archetype, which functions as a collective and unconscious process. It represents the universal desire to experience meaning and a sense of belonging. With an orbit of 165 years, planet Neptune spends 13 years in each sign of the Tropical Zodiac, each period illustrating the ambience, themes and symbols we collectively experience. With nebulous Neptune about to shift into forthright Aries in 2025, in this presentation, Michele Finey explores the symbols and images linked to Neptune in Aries. We also step back in time to examine notable historic events to see what this mysterious cycle can tell us about the coming decade and beyond. Includes video and slides -
Traditional medical astrology - what a medical chart can show you about the state of your health in relation to a particular illness or accident. How will it unfold? Could it become chronic? What is the best treatment? Is this the right Dr? How strong is this illness? How strong am I right now? These and other questions can be answered just by knowing where to look in the chart. We will look at examples of the famous and non famous. We will explore some supplementary techniques that can give us even further information - adding in solar returns and looking at them from a health perspective.

We will go over multiple examples so that you will become very familiar with the easy principles involved in looking at the medical chart, so should you require this technique you will know how to understand the mysteries of the medical chart. -
Sounds fatalistic doesn’t it? Well yes & no-it depends on how you view the concept of fate. Yods have a rich tradition in Jewish mysticism (yodh) as well as in astrology. In astrology it is just another aspect pattern but one with deep spiritual/karmic implications. In this lecture we will learn more about the symbolism of the Yod as well as its astrological intent. There will be many chart examples. Start looking in your chart to see if you have one. Don’t forget that they can also form via progressions and transits (especially the slow moving outer planets). -
Synastry is the art of comparing two birth charts to determine relationship potential. We often think synastry is a modern practice, but this form of astrology has actually been around for about 2000 years! In this lecture Rob will take you on a fascinating tour of the history of synastry, using a combination of archaeological evidence and extracts from surviving texts from the ancient and medieval traditions to build up a picture of how our predecessors practiced synastry. In the second half of the lecture, Rob will teach you how to use these ancient synastry techniques today, using examples of famous relationships. -
