The Beauty of the Venus Cycle:
Following a trend popularised by Dane Rudhyar, modern explanations of the planetary phase cycles refer to an artificial, heliocentric perspective. This has created confusion concerning the underlying basis of their symbolism; to the extent that planetary phase - one of the most significant concepts of ancient mundane astrology - has become virtually redundant in contemporary astrological practice. But the symbolic principles of the phase cycles underlines so many traditional interpretive techniques that their importance cannot be overstated. This talk coincides with the commencement of a new 584-day Venus phase cycle and will demonstrate the shifting influence of Venus as the cycle moves from beginning to end.

Horary Astrology: the Cosmic Soul-Quest |
| Amsterdam, Holland |
Organised by The Amsterdam School of Astrology |
|
One day workshop:
Tradition teaches us that the question put to the astrologer should not only trouble the mind, it should also stir the spirit and originate from the soul. It should be a 'soul-quest'. Under the correct circumstances we can expect the mind of the astrologer to act as a mirror to the cosmic truth, and we can witness horary as a very powerful tool indeed, not only for revealing the likely outcome of a problem, but also for demonstrating its origin and cause, and the route that should be taken to avoid repetition and ensure a full resolution.
This one day workshop will introduce, and then explain the most pertinent techniques of horary through a practical demonstration of recent client charts covering a variety of typical horary themes. From the heart-breaking to the hilarious, and from the obviously emotional to the apparently mundane, the examples will convince you that the traditional technique of horary is a necessary tool for every modern astrologer, simple enough to be of immediate practical value, whilst powerful enough to change the lives of those who are trapped in cycles of despair.
Suitable for astrologers of all levels of interest.

Sat., 3:10pm-4:10 pm:
Career Guidance with Horary
The prospects of career change are exciting, but they provoke sleepless nights for those who fear stepping into the unknown, or who worry about damaging their livelihood. Reviewing the main considerations through modern case-studies, Deborah looks at how horary provides an overview and insight into the details which allow confident, informed decisions to be made.
Sun., 9:15am-11:15am:
Electing for Success
One of the most satisfying ways to consolidate astrological awareness is to engage in the art of electional astrology. The oldest and most instinctive use of astrology, its core concepts act as keys that illuminate all other astrological techniques. Electional astrology is often misrepresented as being purely materialistic, but it actually presents a fascinating philosophy, which not only allows us to maximise potential by selecting the best moment to act, but also allows us to recognise the weaknesses in our plans whilst we still have time to make changes.
This workshop eliminates much of the confusion that has built up around this subject, revealing the most important considerations that are reliable and easy to apply. Their usefulness is demonstrated through recent case histories where the object was to enhance the prospect of professional success.

Organised by Jayavidya Association and the C.I.D.A. Delegation of Perugia |

Ploughs, Bears and Burials: the Guidance of the Pole Stars :
Astrologers give only a nod of recognition to fixed stars, taking them for granted and quoting from textbooks, instead of knowing their meaning 'by heart'. This talk demonstrates how one constellation - Ursa Major - holds such a depth and breadth of meaning that it truly illuminates our understanding of celestial symbolism.
Suitable for astrologers of all levels of interest.

Carter Memorial Lecture: "Conversing with the Heavens"
Throughout the ages, master astrologers have offered words of wisdom about how to steer a safe course through the complexities of astrological consultation. How does that advice stand up to the pressures of the computer age, with our expectation of instant access to information that was traditionally guarded, being of an 'occult nature'?

| San Francisco |

Saturday (23rd) 10:30-5:30 pm - Key Principles of Horary Astrology
Details from Dignities and Receptions
The morning presentation clarifies the use of dignities and debilities in practical chart-work, and explains how, and in what circumstances, receptions become important. It then demonstrates how to judge the effect of aspects with this additional information taken into account (it looks, for example, at the difference between harmonious aspects involving debilitated planets, and difficult aspects involving dignified planets). This level of detail is useful in many situations, and allows the astrologer to judge whether a client should be encouraged to avoid an impending problem, or whether they should be encouraged to tackle it head-on, with the intention of surmounting it.
Afternoon: Relationship Charts
This presentation explains (and clarifies) the traditional concepts that underlie the horary judgement of intimate relationships: from the principles that determine significators and co-significators, to differentiating between 5th and 7th house 'love issues', the importance of reception, and the astrological indications of dominance, desire or disinterest. Modern examples will be referred to in a highly practical explanation of the philosophies that are embedded in the horary art, and which need to be properly understood to bring clarity to the chart.
All presentations are suitable for all levels of experience.
Sunday Afternoon Workshop (24th)1:30-5:30 pm - Astro-picking: How to get it right
Electional astrology is the technique that allows us to look ahead and select the ideal moment to undertake or begin something important. But it offers more than that, because electional charts have a fascinating ability to expose the strengths and weaknesses in our plans. This workshop explains the technique of electional astrology, looking first at its philosophical basis, and the most important sources, and then demonstrating its usefulness through a number of case histories relating to the themes that are most relevant for the modern client. You will be provided with a full set of notes to take away after the event.
