When you begin to integrate the use of dispositors and rulers into your astrological delineations, a new dimension of the birth chart reveals itself before your mind’s eyes. Soon, you won’t delineate another chart without following these subtle, yet fundamental, energetic threads. In this non-technical overview of the topic, we will cover the basic concepts, rules and principles regarding dispositorship and see how these apply, in practical terms, to the natal chart.

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.

Traditional descriptions of the 12th House can sound intimidating: The House of Personal Karma, The House of Self-Undoing, and The Behind the Scenes House. Planets in the 12th House can feel like prisoners trying to get time served for good behavior. Vivian discusses each planet, the north and south node, and the signs on the 12th House cusp, presenting strategies for bringing 12th House planets out into the world and stopping the high rate of recidivism.

New lecture from the ISAR 2016 conference. Priya Kale will be talking about how to find purpose through looking at the Chiron.

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. 

Do certain signs naturally get along and others are doomed? This is about her newest book, Susie's Love Signs, and a look at love. She struggled with finding a formula that worked for compatibility in relationships, and recently discovered the trick. The typical "like elements" or "Sun Sign squares" never worked for her. Now she feels comfortable with compatibilities and wants to share her new technique with you.

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…
