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

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.

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. 

From a sky full of omens to a sky full of possibilities, Astrology as a practice has moved through the ages, reflecting the worldview of the times. Astrologers have had the tools to help guide and heal the individual, as now we also have the tools to help guide and heal the collective. Julija explores the concept of the Cosmic Mind, the role of astrology in our conscious evolution and the need for cultivating an astrological meme for a world in transition.

The desire for intimacy is the goal of most people and astrology has long played a part in describing the factors that support or inhibit a successful relationship. We will look below the surface of traditional compatibility to examine the factors that encourage and discourage the closeness we seek. Some of the traditional ideas simply do not work for many individuals; we will show how astrology can do a better job to nurture fulfilling partnerships.

Probably the most commonly used chart to analyze relationships is the Composite Chart. Another gaining ever-greater popularity is the Davison Relationship chart. Both are based on the theory of midpoints and combining two individual charts to arrive at a single chart that expresses the nature and potential of the relationship. We’ll explore the commonalities and differences between the two and how each one explains the dynamic energy generated when people merge into relationship with each other.
