In this lecture, Olga Morales explores the Part of Fortune, the most ancient Arabic Part. Astrologers have used Pars Fortuna for winning lotteries, betting on horse races and for successful timing for enterprises. And on a personal level, Pars Fortuna is not static; it evolves as the natal chart progresses – ultimately providing progressive gifts of potential fortune and happiness. -
In this lecture, Glennys Lawton explores the deeper meaning of the ascendant and its ongoing commitment to our wellbeing. In much of our astrological literature, information about the ascendant leaves us with a sense of mystery. There is often no clear reference available to make the fundamental meaning of the ascendant more coherent. Our traditional understanding of the ascendant, while pointed in the right direction, has been very limited and usually takes the form of interpretation along the lines of a mask, persona, a defence mechanism etc. These are all very relevant but perhaps lacking the sense of honour and respect that the ascendant deserves. -
In this lecture, Michele Finey examines three planetary synods: the Venus-Sun cycle, the Mars-Sun cycle and the mysterious and beautiful Venus-Mars cosmic dance. As it unfolds over thousands of years, the Venus-Mars synod opens up a whole new dimension of astrological study and a completely fresh perspective on relationships. Over thousands of years, the Venus-Mars ‘Saros’, as Michele calls it, impacts upon society as a whole throughout the ages and has other wide ranging implications. The celestial mechanics of the Venus-Mars cycle also removes any doubt about exactly which conjunction marks the beginning of Venus’ solar cycle. -
In this lecture, Eve Dembowski explores the basic principles that help to make astrological readings more focused and geared to the client’s needs. Setting a chart for the time of the scheduled appointment, and using basic horary techniques, is a simple way to reveal the reason for the astrological consultation. -

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.
