Gary Christen

Symmetrical Chart Analysis


How does a Uranian astrologer approach the horoscope? How do these theories yield such powerful results in understanding the motivations of a native? Gary will read charts, one after the other to illustrate not only his approach to counseling using these ideas, but how to fit the native into the time dynamics surrounding everything. While the Symmetrical concepts are excellent and well known for timing events, that is only the shine of the packaging. It is in a clear understanding of the inner dynamics of the native’s experience that is the System's real strength. What is external to the native and what is internal provide a precise demarcation of the natives approach to the world that is very clearly shown by these profound techniques.



Mark Jones

Arcs of Infinity – The Nature and Function of the Nodes in Astrology

This workshop will explore in depth the nature of both the lunar nodes and the planetary nodes. Many astrologers emphasize the importance of the Moon’s nodes and we will explore them here as critical indicators of meaning in the individual life, showing past emergence and, indeed, future direction. Very few astrologers at this point explore the planets themselves through their nodes. What does the south node of Pluto imply about our collective destiny? How does the north node of Venus impact on the manifestation of desire? This workshop will open up a whole new dimension to our understanding by exploring the meanings and applications of all the planetary nodes.

The Progressed Moon: Finding Our Way Home

The progressed Moon gives access to one of the most powerful dimensions of our human existence and yet it is usually considered as simply one of several factors in predicting and timing events. For those who live interior as well as exterior lives, the progressed Moon illuminates places of self-reflection and inner nourishment frequently connected to our early home lives. During this day, we shall work with the nature of the progressed Moon, its cycle and placement, and its close relationship to transiting Saturn.



Patricia Walsh

Soul Dramas: Identifying Karmic Complexes in the Natal Chart

This workshop offers a unique opportunity to witness a live past life regression and then explore together what it reveals about the natal chart.

Take a past life journey through the astrological archetypes. Drawing from material from her new book ‘Understanding Karmic Complexes: Evolutionary Astrology and Regression Therapy’ Patricia will sketch out common past life scenarios and karmic themes for each astrological archetype (Aries-Pisces). She will also perform a live regression with a volunteer and then will explore how the past life story relates to the karmic axis (Pluto and the moons nodes) in the participants chart. But the learning doesn’t stop there. You will be guided to work in pairs using simple exercises designed to open the gates of your imagination allowing you to access past life information for each other, both with and without the chart. Bring your chart on transparency (if possible) or on plain paper
