Solar Returns
with Glòria Roca
Solar Returns are one of the most popular tools used in forecasting. I have been using them with myself and with clients for twenty years, and put to the test all what I have learnt and read about this technique throughout all these years. In this webinar I will share the method I have developed according to what I have found out that works best. It is a systematic procedure that gives very valuable clues to the understanding of what your inner self may use or need for its development in one particular year.

The Consultation Chart:
Illuminating the Importance of the Moment in Client Work
with Deborah Morgan
Advanced Level
A chart drawn up for the start of a consultation can indicate the prevailing astrological weather and its symbolism can interweave with the dialogue between astrologer and client, shedding light on topics likely to arise and the overall experience of the consultation in question. It can contrast issues that may be a preoccupation on the day with the questions asked by the client in advance and provide valuable insights, especially when compared with the natal charts of the astrologer and client, indicating their individual and shared experience of the consulting room.
The popularity of online consultations raises interesting questions about the technicalities of consultation charts, especially when participants are in different time zones and continents. The online seminar will consider these and their implications for virtual interactions, in addition to the supportive role that consultation charts can play in such situations.
This online seminar is suitable for attendees wishing to begin seeing clients or seeking to expand their practice.

Lunar Returns
with Glòria Roca
Lunar Returns can be as valuable as the Solar Return chart, but they seem not to be so widely used probably because we tend to think of a month as too a short period of time and that it does not worth the effort. However, the series of Lunar Returns within a particular year can offer a very valuable guidance through that period, telling us about how the light of the Sun is being spread month by month. As a trigger of events and feelings the Moon informs us, through its Returns, of what may be activated on a particular month and gives us clues to how to manage it.

Eclipses: Myth, Meaning and Interpretation
with Cat Cox
Intermediate Level
Solar and lunar eclipses can evoke a powerful sense of awe, as the new or full moon aligns with the mysterious nodal axis and celestial light meets shadow. Viewed as gateways into the hidden territory of the inner world with its potency for deep seeding, catalytic change and transformative action we can find ourselves experiencing powerful shifts at these times. In this seminar we will explore the mythology, symbolism and meaning of these powerful celestial events which resonate deeply within the imagination and we will look at their patterns, consider technicalities for use and explore their interpretation in natal forecasting.

An Archaeology of the Astrological Houses
Part 1: Places of the Soul
with Brian Clark
When you enrol on Part 1, you'll get a chance to save £5 by booking Part 2 at the same time.
Astrologically the spirit of place infuses all the astrological houses, emotionally and spiritually, as well as literally. During our first class we will excavate the layers of the astrological houses to locate their deeper levels of experience. We will look at their signs, rulers and planets to understand the interface between houses of the horoscope. What happens when we re-locate our horoscopes and house positions of planets shift? We will consider our charts in different geographical settings to see how our natal disposition might be re-situated.

10.00–11.30am BST
An Archaeology of the Astrological Houses
Part 2: Inhabiting the Space
with Brian Clark
Inhabit suggests dwelling in, but also implies what is instinctually habitual. Place is very individual; who can explain why we are drawn to certain places from a young age; why some prefer cities, others villages. In Part 2 we will consider place from the perspective of the soul, using the natal and relocated houses of the horoscope and their resident planetary archetypes to help us consciously cooperate with ensouling our personal and our collective space.

3.00–4.30pm BST
Between Heaven and Earth –
Heliacal Rising and Setting Stars
with Christian König
The ascent of the soul was always a predominant theme of humanity. The Pyramid Texts consider that the soul comes from the stars and returns back to them after death. Astrologically, starphasing mirrors this: Some stars become visible after being absent from the sky (heliacal rising), others return to Earth after living with the immortal circumpolar stars (heliacal setting). In this workshop, we will encounter these two special stars that guide you. Everyone has a heliacal rising and setting star; it’s a bridge between Heaven and Earth, an important life theme beyond the chart. What is my mission and how can I fulfill it?
Christian König is a practicing astrologer for more than 30 years and has been in love with astrology since he was 11 years old. He is a “Certified Astrologer of the German Astrological Association” and also works as a licensed psychotherapist (depth psychology and trauma therapy) with university degree in psychology. It is his passion to bring the starry sky back into astrology.

The Nature of Desire: Venus and Mars in Relationships
Part 1: The Natal Chart
with Carole Taylor
When you enrol on Part 1, you'll get a chance to save £5 by booking Part 2 at the same time.
Venus and Mars suggest opposite poles of experience and yet both are vital to our relationships. Together they define our desire nature as forces of love and passion, and in the interplay of connection and separation. We will explore Venus and Mars through a variety of mythic images, including the ancient view of Love and Strife as primary forces at work in the cosmos. By exploring the complexes around Venus and Mars in our own charts, we come to understand our own desire nature and how it shapes our relationships with others, as well as with ourselves.
This seminar can be booked either separately or together with Part 2.
15 August 2020
3.00–4.30pm BST
The Nature of Desire: Venus and Mars in Relationships
Part 2: Transits and Progressions
with Carole Taylor
In this seminar, we will look at Venus and Mars in forecasting. What happens when these planets are evoked through transits or progressions? At these times we encounter the instinctual forces of our own desire, which both Freud and Jung identified in different ways as fundamental to the life force. Within the crucible of our relationships, and the processes of attraction and conflict, we experience the unfolding of our innate creative spirit.
This seminar can be booked either separately or together with Part 1.
