DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel InformationOur conference is being hosted at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Philadelphia.

Situated in the heart of Philadelphia’s cultural center, the hotel offers comfort and accessibility. The hotel is remarkably convenient to many of Philadelphia’s historical and cultural sites, as well as numerous restaurants and bars. The concierge staff can answer questions about places to visit during your stay.

The contemporary style guest rooms offer views of the city or Delaware River. They are also equipped with cable television as well as dual-line telephones. High-speed Internet is available in guest rooms as well as free WiFi in the conference area.

The hotel offers numerous spaces to gather together and cultivate community. There’s the Balcony restaurant and Standing O bistro and bar. The rooftop atrium pool and sundeck offer a recreational space to relax and socialize. And the four-story atrium lobby offers an airy environment to mix and mingle with friends and colleagues.

You can get in your regular work-out at the hotel’s complimentary fitness center. An on-site business center features a computer and printer should you need them. Other hotel amenities include an on-site ATM, baggage storage, a multilingual staff, and a newsstand.

Philadelphia Sites and Nearby EatsThe Conference hotel is amazingly well located in Center City, Philadelphia. It’s right above the Walnut-Locust Broad Street subway stop, which connects to most public transportation. Across the street is the Academy of Music, the oldest operating concert hall and opera house in the country. Down the street is City Hall, capped by the iconic statue of founder William Penn. Historic sites such as Independence Hall are just a brisk walk away.

And the restaurants? There are many great restaurants in Philadelphia—many of them just a few minutes walk away from the hotel.

Across Locust Street from the hotel are Varalli (Italian, on the ground floor) and Perch Pub (pub fare, upstairs). Considered the best vegan restaurant in the country, Vedge is just a block and a half down Locust Street. Across Broad Street is the Tavern on Broad in the basement of the Bellevue—as well as a food court for lower-priced options.

Some of the best burgers (and beers) in the city can be found at the Good Dog Bar on 15th Street between Locust and Walnut. On that same block, you can also find Max Brenner—Chocolate by the Bald Man, and Shiroi Hana for sushi and other Japanese favorites.

Sansom Street has its own attractions, including the Philadelphia institution Oyster House, Nodding Head Brewery and Restaurant, Chris’ Jazz Café, and Opa. The mini 13th Street restaurant row includes such stellar places as Barbuzzo, Vintage, Zavino and Capogiro—named the best ice cream in the world by National Geographic.

Find more options in the restaurant guide at our Hospitality Desk.

NAVIGATING OuR LIVES THROuGH OuTER-PLANETARY TRANSITS ARIA AB

Wendy Stacey

When the outer planets trigger our natal chart they bring challenges and offer opportunities which can be life changing. By trying to understand the meaning and the potential of these transits we can steer our lives in directions not previously accessible to us. This talk will look at how we can interpret these turning points in our lives and how these experiences continue to shape us throughout our life’s journey.

RECTIFICATION TECHNIquES oRCHESTRA

Gene Shaw

The presentation will emphasize a creative yet technically sound approach for determining an accurate natal chart when the birth data is in doubt. We’ll explore concepts to help the astrologer prepare mentally for what often seems a daunting challenge. This workshop also provides a good advanced level review of the major predictive techniques as applied to rectification. Finally, we’ll observe the complete rectification process, beginning to end, through a number of celebrity charts.

A TECHNOLOGY TOOLBAG FOR TODAY’S ASTROLOGER CoNCERTo AB

Demetrius Bagley

Please join Demetrius to survey some of the latest and greatest tech tools available today.

This workshop includes demonstrations for accepting payments anywhere, casting and reading charts on smartphones and tablets, plus tips for effective email management.

RESEARCH SYMPOSIuM ARIA AB

Jagdish Maheshri

Although traditional astrological research tends to be subjective, this research symposium is geared towards exploring the areas (and possibilities) where objective research in astrology can be carried out. With this view, the research symposium will include the researchers who will shed light on both subjective and objective research in astrology. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to network with others engaged in astrological research.

NEW LIFE, NEW LOVE oRMANDY BAllRooM

Adrian Duncan

A relationship can change overnight with a few adjustments in behavior. Making these adjustments, however, is like changing the course of a river. Changing a river’s course is not so hard…if you go to its source. In this talk, Adrian will show techniques for helping clients and yourself to find the root cause of relationship difficulties based on planetary aspects in the birth horoscope, so that they gain understanding and self-acceptance. In this way, a relationship can change its course.

10:45 am–12 Noon


Friday, August 16, 12:45–1:30 pm • Free Speech Lectures

ASTROLOGICALLY COPING WITH DISABILITY AND ILLNESS ARIA AB

linda Furiate

As a person who was diagnosed with a non-curable movement disorder, knowing my astrology has literally saved my sanity. How is it that some people cope better than others with a life long disability or illness and others are prone to a life of depression or resentment? In this lecture, I will review the charts of people like Michael J. Fox, Chris Reeves and many others to determine what gave them the perseverance to transcend their medical condition.

uSING VEDIC ASTROLOGY TO FIND THE LIFE’S PuRPOSE ASSEMBlY C

Timon Harewood

Mankind has been forever searching for the concrete meaning to their personal existence or the will to a meaningful existence, e.g. , Why am I here? What is the purpose for my life? The Vedic birth chart can assist in this quest. We shall examine the Vedic chart by looking at the “four pillars” of this chart to establish a psychological profile.

OuTTA CONTROL OR HAVING FuN? HOW OuT OF BOuNDS PLANETS WORK CoNCERTo AB

Marie Gross

The Sun moves through the sky within the invisible boundaries of the ecliptic, never varying more than 23°28” North or South of the celestial equator. Yet other planets—particularly the Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars—may travel beyond these parameters. This discussion will address what it means when a planet is moving “out of bounds” and what significance it may have in a native’s chart.

PREDICTING THE NExT PRESIDENT: THE ARIES INGRESS METHOD MAESTRo AB

Nina Gryphon

Nina teaches you how to determine the winning Presidential candidate, using the secrets of the ancient Arabic astrologers. The Aries Ingress method has reliably determined the winning political party in U.S. Presidential elections since at least 1880. You will learn this simple method of political astrology and apply it to other astrological inquiries.

CHIRON—JOuRNEY TO YOuR HEART CENTER oRCHESTRA

Gali livneh

Chiron is one of the great healers in our charts. It has the power to connect different realms and bridge worlds, yet there is something else that is needed on the way—to sacrifice something. In the lecture we will talk about the connection of Chiron to the heart chakra and how we can work with its placement in the chart to reach a balanced heart center.


Friday, August 16, 2–3:15 pm • Session 1 Lectures

FINANCIAL ASTROLOGY & THE MARKET TODAY (2013) ARIA AB

Arch Crawford

Arch will speak on the development of financial astrology and comment on current alignments and their probable timing of events in stock markets, currency and commodity markets and geopolitical events. He will have a number of critical charts available and will show those for which there are questions and current interest, mostly relative to General Stock Market Timing, Gold, Bonds, US Dollar and Oil.

PRINCIPLES OF ELECTIONAL ASTROLOGY CoNCERTo AB

Monica Escalante-ochoa

Success or failure of a new activity, association or event depends mainly on the time when it is started. Luckily, electional astrology exists to help us to find the most favorable (or sometimes the least unfavorable) time to attain success in important events such as getting married, opening a business, medical procedures, starting a trip, etc. Electional astrology has different rules than natal astrology and here we will learn them in theory and in practice.

ASTRO*CARTO*GRAPHY AND YOuR HEART ASSEMBlY C

Ken Irving

Changing your life by changing your location is easy, but doing it right—not so much, especially when a move affects the romantic relationship in your life. Good love in one place can turn into bad love (or no love at all) in another. Real-life examples reviewed of people who found love in one place and lost it in another, and vice versa, leading to insights you can apply in your own life.

ASTROLOGY IN 3D MAESTRo AB

Barry orr

The world is not flat, and neither is your chart. This workshop will focus on understanding the astronomical reality underlying the horoscope. We will cover, as painlessly as possible, some basic astronomy for astrologers. Slides and planetarium software will be used to help you visualize what a chart looks like in the actual sky. The practical applications of this information in everyday chart work will be described.

DECLINATION’S CuTTING-EDGE TECHNIquES oRCHESTRA

leigh Westin

Dramatically expand your craft with the other dimension’s cutting-edge techniques. Revealing vivid validity, lifetime graphs and LunarSeasons™ yield even greater depth when coupled with insight from longitude equivalent charts. Together—graph and chart—offer precision unavailable by traditional longitude. All techniques apply to natal, progressions and transits, are explained in outline format, and are useable by any and all levels of expertise.


Friday, August 16, 3:45–5 pm • Session 2 Lectures

WESTERN SIDEREAL ASTROLOGY CoNCERTo AB

Ken Bowser

Western sidereal astrology is based upon the Babylonian sidereal zodiac, the original zodiac. The Babylonians discovered the zodiac and produced the first mathematical model of the sky that could accurately predict future positions of the planets. In 1944, after examining ancient astronomical materials from the Near East, Cyril Fagan, an Irish astrological scholar, introduced the Babylonian sidereal zodiac to the West. This lecture will provide an overview of the history and rationale of western sidereal astrology.

WHAT ASTROLOGY SAYS ABOuT RELATIONSHIPS AND MARRIAGE oRCHESTRA

Alphee lavoie

This lecture explores planetary configurations between two people that move them towards marriage. The research employed the predictive techniques of transits, secondary progressions, solar arcs and lunar and solar returns. From my extensive research based on factual astrological criteria between a couple, I will show you what brings two people together to say “I do through sickness and health till death do us part.”

CONSTELLATIONAL ASTROLOGY, STARS OF POWER MAESTRo AB

Joe Polise

The subject of this lecture brings us back to the root of our discipline: constellations and fixed stars and the part they play in horoscope interpretation. In this talk we will explore the stars and constellations from a few vantage points. These include a synopsis of the history and philosophy of fixed stars as an astrological technique and practical applications of traditional stars and constellations. Individual horoscopes and event charts will be presented to illustrate.

THuND’ROuS PORTENTS! ASTROLOGICAL FORECASTING AND THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR IN 1860s ARIA AB

Christopher Renstrom

Luke Dennis Broughton began publishing Broughton’s Monthly Planet Reader and Astrological Journal on April 1, 1860 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was America’s first astrological magazine. The magazine’s run coincided with the American Civil War. Much of the material concerns war predictions as well as the horoscopes of notable figures like Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant. By cataloguing Broughton’s successful predictions (and errors) this lecture shows how astrology was practiced during America’s most dramatic crisis.

uRANIAN ASTROLOGY FOR BEGINNERS ASSEMBlY C

liane Thomas Wade

A simple explanation of the use of the 90 and 360 degree dials and planetary pictures used in the Uranian System of Astrology. We will review the eight transneptunian points used by Uranian astrologers. A simple ephemeris of the points will be given to attendees as well as a sample 90 degree dial. A chart will be delineated using both Uranian and traditional techniques.

RECEPTION: MY HOuSE, MY RuLES MAESTRo AB

Rhyan Butler

Reception is an important classical consideration that is often overlooked in astrology today. This talk covers the way a planet treats other planets in its dignities and what kind of effects that relationship has on a planet who happens to be in the sign of another. We’ll explore definitions and techniques that are based on these relationships between the planets such as mixed reception, negative reception, and the implications these have on horary and natal chart techniques.

AMERICAN ZODIAC ART ARIA AB

Kenneth McGhee

We know the zodiac and its symbols well—but how often do we see it in art, specifically in public buildings and spaces? More often than not, you will see in this lecture. First, covering the many zodiacs in Washington D.C. area, we will then explore locations throughout the U.S. where public zodiac art appears to the enlightenment of all. See over 100 zodiac photos I have collected from public spaces.

THE OuTER PLANETS IN THE FIRST HOuSE CoNCERTo AB

leslie McGuirk

An outer planet in the first house is one of the strongest indicators of a personality type. These people are always wired for intensity. Neptune, Uranus or Pluto each gives a different type of flavoring to the individual’s core way of being. It is always a powerful force, and one that needs to be listened to with skillful attention so that it becomes a wonderful asset, as opposed to a controlling negative influence.

THE PINBALL APPROACH TO A CHART oRCHESTRA

Anne ortelee

The Pinball Approach is a unique way to approach a chart as an energetic bundle of planetary relationships. It combines Horary, Uranian, Jyotish and Western techniques, and focuses on how the energy of transits stimulates planets sequentially in a horoscope. It is a holistic approach to charts as energy systems and locates difficult or challenging aspects to obtain a clear idea of when the energy will block, complete or peak.

WHAT IS ASTROLOGY? IS ALL ASTROLOGY PSYCHOLOGICAL? ASSEMBlY C

Gaia Somasca

This lecture focuses on how astrology, as a practice and a symbolic language, has retained its legacy through millennia while discussing the debated question on the relation between astrology and psyche. We will explore charts and their interpretations by the Babylonians, Renaissance man Marsilio Ficino, William Lilly and contemporary astrologers while reflecting on astrological symbols, astrologers and what psychological astrology is in Western culture.


Saturday, August 17, 9–10:15 am • Session 3 Lectures

THE SEVEN CONDITIONS OF AFFLICTION AND BONIFICATION CoNCERTo AB

Chris Brennan

Although the term “affliction” is sometimes used in contemporary discussions to refer to some generic notion of a planet being poorly placed in a chart, recent research has shown that the concept of affliction originally referred to seven very specific planetary conditions when the term was first defined around the 1st century BCE. During this talk we will explore these seven conditions of affliction as well as a corresponding set of positive conditions for “bonification.”

GETTING TO THE HEART OF YOuR CHART: A GuIDE TO HOROSCOPE SYNTHESIS oRCHESTRA

Frank Clifford

When looking at a birth chart, where do we begin? How do we assess what’s most important? How do we spot themes without getting lost in too much detail? Frank will introduce a reliable method that pinpoints the key areas and dynamics of any horoscope. He’ll also show that when people “speak their charts,” we astrologers collect gems that help to fine-tune our astrological vocabulary and capture the essence of a planetary placement.

FORECASTING: THE POWER OF SYMMETRICAL ASTROLOGY ASSEMBlY C

Madalyn Hillis-Dineen

Whether you want to determine the general trends for a year or focus in on daily transits, the tools of symmetrical astrology will add a powerful component to your astrological work. These include solar arc and transits on the 90-degree dial, graphic ephemerides, solstice charts, paran clocks, the Prime Meridian of the Year and the Prime Meridian of the Day.

THE FOuRTH HOuSE: OuR GRAVE OR TREASuRE MAESTRo AB

Baris Ilhan

The fourth house is the house of family, home, parents, roots, ancestors and homeland, but traditionally it also represents the hidden things, treasures, endings and graves. This is the darkest part of our chart. At this lecture we will see how this house can be our grave in a symbolical and psychological sense and how we can turn it into a treasure by working on the issues that are indicated by the sign there.

THE ECONOMY, INFLATION/DEFLATION AND MCWHIRTER CYCLES ARIA AB

Grace Morris

What’s ahead for the economy? Using historical planetary patterns, the McWhirter cycles, nodal cycles and planetary cycles such as Neptune’s 14-year cycle as it relates to inflation/deflation and interest rates, we can predict what will be the next significant pattern in the economy, interest rates, inflation/deflation, real estate cycles and business trends in all areas of commerce. She will explain how she uses these cycles in her work.

THE WHAT & WHY OF SYMMETRICAL ASTROLOGY ASSEMBlY C

Gary Christen

Symmetry’s theme of astrology was expressed by the Greeks and modernized by Europeans such as Alfred Witte and Americans such as A.H. Blackwell. It brings the basic views of the Babylonians. Rob Hand gives it a philosophic relevance for the future impact of the entire field of astrology. Symmetrical astrology distills various twentieth-century schools of astrology into a single body of thought, adds revolutionary philosophical underpinnings, brings anew ancient overlooked concepts, adds modern developments and provides practical directions that will enrich astrology’s future for all of us.

PTOLEMY’S uNIVERSE: HOW DID THEY READ CHARTS WITHOuT uRANuS, NEPTuNE AND PLuTO? CoNCERTo AB

Meira Epstein

Some things never change. Traditional astrology at the source: Going back to Classical Astrology—from Vettius Valens, through Ibn Ezra and William Lilly—we will introduce the methods they used, the conclusions they came to, and compare it with modern techniques, which include the new planets.

ART, ASTROLOGY AND THE POWER OF EIGHT MAESTRo AB

Maria Kay Simms

Eight has strong astrological significance for understanding life cycles, eternal cycles of eight—birth, emergence, commitment, growth, fulfillment, sharing, change, decline, death—then rebirth. This presentation explores the symbolism of Scorpio, house 8, the cycle of eight challenging aspects (conjunction, semi-squares, squares, opposition) and major cycles of eight through which we can study the flow of any lifetime: transiting Saturn through houses and the progressed lunar phases.

FERAL PLANETS: WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE oRCHESTRA

Jackie Slevin

The ancients called unaspected planets feral, because they “behaved in the manner of a wild beast.” Whether a dangerous predator or a pouncing stray cat, discover how these planets have a built-in disconnect, and how their energies manifest in the horoscope. And a hunting we will go.

ELECTING DECENT BuSINESS CHARTS—OR—ANY OTHERS THAT MATTER! ARIA AB

Georgia Stathis

When setting up a business chart, what do you do? Do you just step into the process blindly, or, do you have a plan that saves you and your client time and money? This lecture features some key components leading to an optimum outcome. Like any other thing in life, you have to have a structure in which to work, fully aware that everything isn’t perfect, either. Georgia Stathis walks you through this process.


Saturday, August 17, 2–3:15 pm • Session 5 Lectures

TRADITIONAL MuNDANE ASTROLOGY CoNCERTo AB

Benjamin Dykes

Benjamin will review a variety of traditional theories and techniques in mundane astrology, many drawn from his recent translations from Arabic astrologers: weather prediction; eclipses and comets; conjunctional theories of Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars; ingress charts; and time-lord techniques such as mundane profections, firdariyyat and the “thousands.” He will apply some of these techniques to actual charts in order to appreciate better how they work and how we can use them today.

THE YEAR AHEAD 2014 WITH SuSAN MILLER oRCHESTRA

Susan Miller

Get a bird’s eye view of the most important features and trends for your year ahead 2014, including a preview of the year’s four major eclipses: in Libra (April 15), Taurus (April 29), Aries (October 8) and Scorpio (October 23).

DOMINANT PLANETS IN THE HOROSCOPE: DETERMINATION AND uSAGE ASSEMBlY C

Winai ouyportprasert

A systematic determination of dominant planets in the horoscope based on thousands of case studies within the framework of the Research Project at UACT (the Uranian Astrologers Club, Thailand) will be presented. These planets indicate native professions and decisions made during a crisis. Planetary pictures containing dominant planets in a natal chart also imply important events of the chart’s owner. The applicability of dominant planets will be demonstrated in a few chart analyses.

LIBERATION OF THE SOuL MAESTRo AB

Joni Patry

Understanding the Moksha houses, 4, 8 and 12, “the Liberation of the Soul.” The deeper meaning of the unconscious, emotions and how to get in touch with our truth are through the Moksha houses 4, 8 and 12. The spirituality of Vedic astrology combined with the psychological depths of Western astrology awakens your awareness of life’s journey through astrology.

2020 ASTRO-FINANCE ARIA AB

Christeen Skinner

An overview of the business cycles at work between now and the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction in 2020. Astrological techniques can be used to determine investment opportunities, areas for growth and how knowledge of planetary cycles might assist in protecting an investment portfolio, secure assets and develop resources. Charts used will include those of the NYSE and S&P index. Specific periods will be addressed and forecasts of expected turning points made.


Saturday, August 17, 3:45–5 pm • Session 6 Lectures

MONEY AND TRADING ARIA AB

Tim Bost

Learn a clear, concise review of a systematic process for finding money-making opportunities for trading successes using astrologically based techniques for stock selection, the optimum sequence for applying technical and fundamental filters to equities analysis, and the role of First-Trade horoscopes and planetary price lines in making effective trading decisions. An overview will be presented of important guidelines for managing trades to preserve capital and minimize exposure to market risks, as will a discussion of specific current astro-trading opportunities.

THE DEATH CHART MAESTRo AB

Maurice Fernandez

The time and place of birth is understood to have paramount importance, describing one’s path of life. The same goes for the time and place of death: the death chart describes what has been worked on in the course of the person’s life and provides clear indications of the direction the soul is taking upon departure from this incarnation. A fascinating study with example charts, including the study of two incarnations of the same soul.

FuNDAMENTALS OF TRADITIONAL HORARY CoNCERTo AB

Chris King

While the birth chart gives the clearest picture of overarching life trends, we sometimes need a definite answer to a pressing question, now! That’s when we turn to horary astrology. This workshop will introduce the fundamentals of traditional horary and get you started with the tools you need to: • frame the question • get the gist of the chart • identify and evaluate significators • uncover the story behind the question • find the answer.

FINDING THE STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES IN A HOROSCOPE ASSEMBlY C

Arlene Nimark

Why do some people persevere in the face of adversity, while others wear a placard with “Victim” stamped on its front in big bold letters? With the use of the 360- and 90-degree dial and planetary pictures, we will be able to explore the depths of a chart. We will also see when the progressed Sun, Moon and Midheaven, along with solar arcs and transits can ignite to release one’s power.

THE RINGS OF SATuRN: SETTING OuR BOuNDARIES oRCHESTRA

Shirley Soffer

Saturn typically shows us our limitations—but what about our strengths? Saturn can actually bring out the very best in us. Although its forbidding presence can conjure up feelings of frustration, and foreboding, Saturn’s compensatory energies can also help us develop the capacity to excel. As we take Saturn through the signs and houses, we’ll show how Saturn’s protective, ego-defending effects can often turn insecurity into self-mastery.

SEEING OuR WAY CLEAR TO 2020: THE PLuTO RETuRN OF THE uNITED STATES CHART ARIA AB

Shelley Ackerman

Historically, Pluto returns have always been dramatic and transformative collective events. How will the approaching USA Pluto return play out for us individually and for America as a whole? What are the global implications? We will look to the Lunar Eclipse and the Saturn-Pluto conjunction of January 2020 for clues into this make and/or break time.

WELLNESS SuGGESTIONS FOR OuTER PLANET TRANSITS CoNCERTo AB

Stephanie Gailing

Astrology can provide stellar insights that enhance personal health and well-being. In this lecture, we’ll explore ways to understand clients’ individual wellness needs as well as self-care recommendations that foster the health of mind, body and spirit. Our discussion will focus on personal planetary transits, reviewing lifestyle recommendations—including dietary approaches, essential oils, flower essences, and relaxation techniques—that can help support the well-being of clients as they navigate through different phases of their lives.

TRANSITS: SATuRN/PLuTO CYCLES ASSEMBlY C

Kitty Hatcher

For the next two years, Saturn and Pluto will be in mutual reception. The last time this happened was 1777 and 1778. Saturn has a huge list of negative interpretations, but it also has a positive side. Pluto is one of the must powerful forces in the zodiac. It rules death, transformation and materialization. Find out how to turn Saturn and Pluto challenges into life opportunities.

SLEEPING DOGS; uNASPECTED PLANETS oRCHESTRA

Wendy Stacey

How do we interpret planets that do not have any major aspects in the birth chart? How do these planets connect or integrate with the other dynamics in the horoscope? This session will look at how unaspected planets can be the most dominant and obvious placement in the birth chart, look at how they can behave and express themselves and explore the best way to utilize them.

THE PuLSE OF THE uNIVERSE: CONNECTING PLANETS AND CHAKRAS MAESTRo AB

Mark Wolz

The energy of every planet is within you and is accessible to every breath; the pulse of the universe courses through you and enlivens your body, mind and spirit. Bring your knowledge of the stars and planets to life by sensing the subtle energies that flow through the chakra system. Learn how these energy centers within us resonate with the planets above and offer us a way to make creative choices.


Sunday, August 18, 10:45 am–12 Noon • Session 8 Lectures

88 CONSTELLATIONS CONDENSED INTO 12 oRCHESTRA

Wendy Ashley

Every constellation has a story to tell. Wendy guides us into motifs animated by the constellations from which we glean the meaning and qualities attributed to the signs of the zodiac: the 12. By understanding that astrological perceptions were once much richer and more accurate than their modern reduction, and by learning about non-zodiacal constellations, we are inspired to re-integrate these stories into our readings.

ASTROLOGY AND MAGICK MAESTRo AB

Janet Berres

Astrology and Magick have been linked together since the beginning of time. It is no surprise then, that Aleister Crowley (1875–1947), the most famous occultist of the 20th century, was also a skilled astrologer. We will take a look at Aleister Crowley’s chart and at how each zodiac sign has its own special magickal inclination. We will also learn how magickal timing is determined through the use of moon phases, planetary hours and astrological correspondences.

THE PREDICTIVE POWER OF ECLIPSES ASSEMBlY C

Ronnie Dreyer

Eclipses have always been the best predictors of natal and mundane events beginning with ancient omens, and continuing through modern astrology. With five eclipses occurring in 2013, this lecture will explain the meaning of life-changing events presently unfolding in your chart and the world around you, and will especially focus on the connections between the three eclipses of April–May 2013 and the two eclipses in October–November 2013. Case studies will illustrate eclipses and how they are activated.

PREDICTING WORLD EVENTS ARIA AB

Joyce levine

Cycles of boom and bust occur throughout history. Nations rise to supremacy and then decline. Treaties among nations are made and broken. World trends are reflected by the cycles of outer planets. This talk focuses on how transits, particularly of Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, indicate what’s likely to happen. For example, what is started at the conjunction of two planets frequently comes to fruition or ending at the opposition.

ASTROLOGY AND COuNSELING CoNCERTo AB

Eileen McCabe

How do we experience ourselves in our role as astrologers? How do we delineate from the natal horoscope some of the core issues in a person’s life and how do we communicate the transits and progressions in a way that facilitates a healing and therapeutic dialogue? We will discuss the psychological dynamics that exist during any astrological consultation and how the development of counseling skills can enhance the spiritual work of astrology.

STRAIGHT TALK ON quEER ASTROLOGY CoNCERTo AB

Barry Perlman

Queer astrology challenges the assumption that our relational desires and gender/sexual expressions always neatly align with each other according to societal expectations. Whether or not someone identifies as queer, they still benefit from an astrology which doesn’t implicitly pathologize their choice to present a certain way, date members of a certain gender, or structure their relationships in any certain manner. We’ll discuss astrological values that support clients in proudly embracing their individualistic wants, rather than pressure them toward stifling conformity.

A LEGACY OF MARC EDMuND JONES: PLANETARY PATTERNS ARIA AB

David Perloff

During his lifetime, Marc Edmund Jones was one of the most influential astrologers of the 20th century. Today, he is perhaps best known for the Sabian Symbols. One of the often overlooked techniques Dr. Jones developed is Planetary Patterns (aka “The Temperament Type”)—determined by how the planets are arranged around the wheel. We will look at the seven planetary patterns—Bundle, Bowl, Bucket, Locomotive, Splash, See-Saw and Splay—and see how they can be a powerful aid in chart interpretation.

ARE VOID MOONS & MERCuRY RETROGRADES THAT BAD? MAESTRo AB

Samuel F. Reynolds

Astrologers speak often about the hazards of initiating actions during a void moon or Mercury retrograde. But is that mere superstition or is there some basis of truth to it all? Are there some cases where it’s best to initiate an action during a void moon or Mercury retrograde? Samuel briefly describes both the classical and modern understanding of void moons and Mercury retrogrades. Then he explores examples of how they work...and when they don’t.

SATuRN RETuRNS, SECT AND THE TABOO AGAINST DIFFICuLTY ASSEMBlY

leisa Schaim

This lecture will discuss the ancient concept of sect (whether one has a day or night chart) in relationship with how positively or negatively different people’s Saturn returns are experienced. Some of the most common ways Saturn returns are portrayed will then be looked at in light of this distinction, leading to a discussion of the issue of difficulty in contemporary astrology.

PREVENTATIVE HEALING AND THE SIxTH HOuSE oRCHESTRA

Dawn Silver

The sixth house offers us red flags and insights into the daily habits and acute conditions that often lead to health issues of a more chronic nature. In this class, we will work with Virgo’s natural domain (while being mindful of the ascendant, eighth and twelfth) in terms of blocked energies, natural remedies, planetary helpers or hinderers. Bring your chart!


Sunday, August 18, 2–3:15 pm • Session 9 Lectures

BuDDHIST ASTROLOGY MAESTRo AB

lawrence Grecco

Like astrology, Buddhism is concerned with self-exploration and understanding the interconnectedness of all things. However, from a Buddhist standpoint most of our problems stem from the strong sense of self we grasp onto and relate from. Discover how the process of understanding our limited sense of self can lead to a greater awareness of our truer, larger selves which leads to less suffering and more happiness for ourselves and all others.

MEDICAL ASTROLOGY AND THE FRONTAL LOBE OF THE BRAIN CoNCERTo AB

lynn Koiner

In this lecture, Lynn will focus upon the health issues associated with the frontal lobe of the brain, including the pre-frontal cortex. Extensive hard-copy handouts will be provided with the rulership of the various parts of the brain. She will discuss ADD, Alzheimer’s, Palsy and Bi-Polar Disorder as well as other issues connected with the frontal lobe.

2013 AND 2014: THE DOTS FINALLY CONNECT FOR GLOBAL CHANGE ASSEMBlY C

Misty Kuceris

The world is changing economically, technologically and socially in 2013 and 2014. With Jupiter entering Cancer the astrological energies explode: a cardinal T-square is created, a water grand trine is created, and the USA goes through another Jupiter return. And all of this is connected by the mutual reception between Saturn and Pluto. Find out what the changes will be and how they impact you personally.

YODS, GOLDEN YODS AND SEPTILE YODS ARIA AB

Rick levine

When it comes to aspect configurations, the yod has a certain air of mystery about it. But the powerful “Finger of God” may only be a faint shadow of more significant yods based upon the quintile and septile aspect series. How do you locate them? What do they mean? Why are they so important? This class is a real eye-opener as to the importance of quintile and septile configurations. Many chart examples will be used.

WHAT IS ASTROLOGY? oRCHESTRA

Bruce Scofield

Most people engaged with astrology focus on techniques in which the lives of human beings are analyzed. The subject of astrology is primarily known as a practice—its larger place among other subjects, and its main branches other than those of applied practice, have not been worked out. I will outline what I think are astrology’s major problems in becoming a subject in its own right and finding a place among other fields of inquiry.

TIMING PEAK PERIODS IN A PERSON’S LOVE LIFE CoNCERTo AB

Chris Brennan

During this workshop attendees will learn how to use an ancient timing technique called Zodiacal Releasing in order to divide a native’s life into different chapters with respect to their love life. The technique can be used to determine periods in which relationships are experienced as being more positive or negative, as well as to determine “peak periods” in a person’s love life, which are periods of heightened activity and importance in relationships.

12 STEPS TO BETTER CHART READINGS: IMPROVING YOuR CLIENT CONSuLTATIONS ARIA AB

Rick levine

Whether you’re doing 10-minute or 90-minute sessions, the approach is the same. Albert Einstein said, “99% of genius is knowing what’s important.” You have enough techniques in your toolbox yet seek something more in your client work. This practical seminar will improve your chart consultation skills by presenting useful concepts designed to alter your approach and enable you to more profoundly touch your clients. Charts of class participants will be used in real-time to illustrate principles.

The National Council for Geocosmic Research

Statement of PurposeThe purpose of NCGR shall be to provide an environment to foster and publish research of a geocosmic nature, and to pursue educational programs in various interdisciplinary fields related to geocosmic studies. The term “geocosmic” is defined as “of or pertaining to the study of correspondences and cycles involving earthly phenomena and cosmic (celestial) events.”

This purpose is implemented by: disseminating information through NCGR publications, including journals, newsletters, books or monographs; providing financial and technical assistance, guidance or professional help to individuals or groups for approved research projects; sponsoring appropriate educational programs; chartering regional, semiautonomous chapters of NCGR having the same goals and purposes; promoting and encouraging the highest professional standard and ethical behavior among astrologers.

Description and HistoryNational Council for Geocosmic Research, Inc. (NCGR) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization incorporated in Massachusetts in 1971 for the purpose of raising the standards of astrological education and research. Its membership of about 1,800 is mostly from the United States, though international membership is growing. Most members affiliate with NCGR’s local chapters: at this writing, 32 are established and five are forming throughout the world. Additionally, several Special Interest Groups (SIGs) cross wide geographical areas to foster dialogue among people of similar astrological specialties. NCGR publishes two annual issues of the Geocosmic Journal, six bi-monthly Memberletter newsletters, a weekly e-newsletter and a variety of other publications intermittently.

Organic astrOlOgy: seasOns and signs Maestro aB

ellen Zucker

The connection between the four seasons of the year and the twelve astrological signs is both elegant and organic, and provides a deeper understanding of the sign’s energy. We will explore why each sign is linked to a specific time of year and how each season shapes the signs’ expression. When you leave, you will understand this connection and never see the astrological signs in quite the same way.

Philadelphia astrologer, ellen Zucker, CAP, discovered astrology at age 14 when she devoured Linda Goodman’s Sun Signs in the local public library.

She is a graduate of Hofstra University, Long Island, New York. She continued her studies in New York City and became active in the mainstream astrological community. Ellen maintains an active astrological practice where she teaches and consults with clients online and locally. She is also the Pet Fashion Astrologer for the International Association of Pet Fashion Professionals.WEbSITE practicalastrologyandtarot.com EmAIL [email protected]

sOcial Media @ ncgr13 Tweet, Facebook and go online with us onsite

We encourage conference attendees using social media to share their experiences with those who can not attend. As you use Twitter, Facebook and/or Instagram this weekend, please tag your updates with the #ncgr13 hashtag so that people may follow your insights and observations from afar. The #astrology hashtag is also a good addition as it opens up the conversation to a wider audience.

If you’re new to using hashtags in your status updates, it’s as simple as typing the hash or pound symbol (#) followed by a keyword such as “ncgr13.” This acts to link all similarly labeled posts so they may be pulled from across social media into one grouping. by using the #astrology hashtag in your posts, anyone wanting astrological updates could search under this label.

An example would be: “So many great electional ideas for starting my business via Georgia Stathis! #ncgr13”

We would also love it if you shared your conference photos on social media. Did you get a great shot of michael Lutin talking about Neptune and Chiron in Pisces? Capture a reunion with your astrology family on Instagram? Share it and tag it with #ncgr13!

Special thanks to our Vendors for joining us this year!
