This lecture focuses on certain planetary aspects and major configurations in the natal chart that influence life choices and reveal the possible manifestation of events that may be beyond our control. We do possess free will but there are certain experiences we cannot avoid. By studying the natal chart and the interplay between planets, you can ascertain what significant experiences may be promised in your lifetime.

The outer planets are the most personal planets. Each will transit a single degree 3 times over 18 months (Pluto now 4 times). These transits are seeded in the psyche at birth, and are a predictable once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for soul/psyche awareness and personal growth. Stages of the 3 passes bring a dramatic level to your individuation process – moving through the sleeping recesses of the psyche to conscious Self awareness. Resistance to the first pass is normal, hearing the message from the Self is second – acceptance is the outcome.

In this talk, Frank will offer new insights from his years of research into the MC. This much-neglected angle has much to say about our reputation and public image, and, as part of an axis, our parental messages and family inheritance. Astrologically, our MC complex reveals our personal definition of success and our deep-seated drives to make a societal/professional contribution. We gain recognition as we “follow our bliss” and adopt the roles described by it.

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.

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.

If the horoscope is a photograph and easily recognisable when passed from one astrologer to another, then harmonics provide tissue samples. This talk should be seen as a practical guide to anyone for whom harmonics are quick and useful tools for diagnosis and forecast.
