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, how they can behave and express themselves and explore the best way to utilize them.

Laura Rose Desjardins gives a lecture about relationships. This is a new lecture from the ISAR 2016 Conference. Take a few minutes look to it!  

This talk considers the significators of wealth in a horoscope and the personal financial rhythms imprinted at birth. Through progressions, directions and transit activity, attitudes are altered and develop. The consultant astrologer can be a useful financial advisor as clients negotiate planetary cycles. In this talk, emphasis will be placed on the formidable planetary pictures of 2020, and thoughts will be offered as to how these financial rapids might be negotiated.

What is the evolutionary purpose of the aspects? What do we learn through the interchange of Gemini square Pisces, or Taurus opposed Scorpio? This lecture will review the spiritual programs of every (major) aspect. Each sign actually connects with all of the others to reveal a striking template for our growth. We will also address the shadow possibilities if the spiritual curriculum is approached unconsciously.

Neptune’s journey through Pisces is inviting us in increasing numbers to re-connect with soul centered intimate relationships. Unconditional love and heart based intimacy is at the core of this new relationship paradigm. We will explore how the current transits can best assist us to expand the areas of our chart connected to love and intimacy and clear unresolved internal complexes and blocks that may stand in our way.

Midpoints are not equal with some offering powerful insights into how a person operates and how they might experience a progression or transit. Case histories are offered in this presentation which will focus on event-fullness and how the energy from some midpoints can be felt across generations.

The chakra system, originated in Indian philosophy, is already well known and used in relation to our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health. In this lecture, Gali will explain the correlations between the chakras and the planets, and how to work with them when analyzing a chart.

Although there has not been extensive material on prenatal eclipses, lunations and their relation to our life stories, I consider them especially useful in pinpointing major life themes, within the astrological counselling when it is used side by side with the natal chart. The themes of the prenatal eclipse sign and the natal condition of its ruler cast striking information about the general direction in life. We will look at practical examples.

This lecture will feature the signs of the zodiac with simple key words, then explain how each fits into an integrated whole. Where do you fit into this ecosystem? What are tasks of your slice of the wheel? Rising Sign versus Sun Sign, fitting them into this picture supports a clearer view of this journey. A peek at the Midheaven will round out the map. All together, a simple tracking of these will provide a powerful frame with which to build your astrological studies
