The Sun is who you are, the Moon what you feel — but what's the Ascendant? It's what you must embody, the territory you must cross, to be who you are and get what you need. In evolutionary astrology, it's the vehicle that drives the entire incarnation, and also the terrain you must explore and master during this lifetime. Your Ascendant is custom-designed, via its ruler, aspects and/or first house planets, for the territory you must navigate…

Transiting Uranus, Neptune or Pluto across the angles can be an indicator of our clients’ possible life-changing trends. Yet, how our clients experience these trends is their affair and a tricky business for the consulting astrologer. How do we counsel? Will it be an awakening, enlightenment, or a transformational experience? Let’s look at the possibilities in our own charts in this interactive lecture.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Our life in time begins at conception; however our time sense changes as we age according to a precise and knowable pattern and mathematics. Our fundamental ideas about time are often incorrect and perpetuate the wounds we carry. In attempting to heal these wounds inflicted by time, we may discover the path which leads beyond time. But first, understand for the time of your life.

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

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!  

In this workshop you'll experience how astrology and dreamwork can be combined into a transformative spiritual practice. Dream symbols closely reflect our natal and transiting planets. We'll consider the meaning of dreams occurring during particular transits and progressions, and how planetary and dream archetypes manifest in waking life. Decoding the messages of dreams and transits together generates a potent broth of upsurgent feelings, pressing tasks, and energies rising within us in conscious response to change.
