The energy that active Saturn through the 12 phases enables us to become totally conscious, and overcome concepts of restriction, fears, feelings of limitation and as a consequence, to contact with freedom. We can observe in a chart the cycles of Saturn and its path through the twelve houses on one hand, and simultaneously, through the conjunction, squares and opposition to the natal Saturn, on the other hand. $24.95 Get it now at IAA e-store! Also, check out by Ani Bettati: BDTB-1 ($19.95): The Seven Years Crisis Sponsored by: Sun is in Gemini. Mercury rules Gemini. Mercury "disposits" that Sun. That means that the motivationenergy and intention-energy of the Sun flows to Mercury as ruler of the sign the Sun is in. With this key knowledge it is possible to create a flow map of this motivational and intentional energy. Many important aspects of habit formation, learning strategies, cognitive dissonance, modes of thinking and much more come to light through the precision of these dispositor maps. Join me in a discussion of their power and potential in consultation and in self-awareness. $24.95 Get it now at IAA e-store! Greg Bogart Progressing the Birth Chart The birth chart is not a fixed or static structure. It implies movement, growth, and evolution, which can be measured by various techniques of planetary progressions. Utilizing the natal and progressed charts of several workshop participants, Greg will demonstrate how an astrologer can look at any chart and see its implicit unfolding through secondary and solar arc directions. $24.95 Get it now at IAA e-store!

If Free Will ruled supreme, there would be no reason to do astrology. If Fate ruled supreme, then why can’t astrology predict everything? This lecture explores ways to reconcile the modern psychological worldview with classical predictive techniques. To what degree can we change the fate that our birth chart contains? What are the limits of interpretation shown by the natal chart? Are there fixed limits to the degrees of change and growth for each individual? How does the inevitable stream of time and age change the individual’s perception of himself/herself? $24.95 Get it now at IAA e-store!

This talk will also involve a discussion about how these positions are still relevant to astrologers today. Johannes Kepler threw out most of medieval astrology, realising that it had failed, in its own terms, to predict the future. Instead he proposed a reformed astrology which could be used to understand political processes and, perhaps, maintain peace and stability. So, what would Kepler have said about the world situation? $24.95 Get it now at IAA e-store! $24.95 Get it now at IAA e-store! Also, check out by Chris Brennan: BDTB-1 ($19.95): Fundamental Techniques in Hellenistic Astrology Peter Burns How to Interpret Relationships Using Ancient Techniques Sponsored by: Does he love me? Will she come back? What does my natal chart say about relationships? The use of ancient astrological techniques to unlock the secrets of relationships remains relatively unexplored in modern times. However this is one area particularly suited to ancient astrology. The application of basic techniques offers clear insights into motivation and attitude, how feelings are reciprocated, and whether a relationship is likely to take place. In this lecture, Peter Burns explains techniques drawn from traditional astrology in plain English and describes simple methods for applying these techniques in horary and natal astrology. These techniques are part of the missing keys to interpretation that bring the chart alive. Coming soon to IAA store Also, check out by Peter Burns: BDTB-1 ($19.95): Interpreting Fixed Stars Other talks: • Astrology in the Hands ($9.95) • Astro Palmistry ($9.95) Caroline Casey Dancing with Demons - the Strictly Plutonic Choreography of Squares and Oppositions Knowing that we strengthen whatever we resist, we are invited to step into a more intimate dance with all the inner and outer dementors. Tibetan Buddhist practice guides us to imagine a lazer beam emanating from our third eye, sizzling off the lock holding back the demons, and extending the invitation, "Come on out, you demons, no one's as ugly as Yaman Taka, the Lord of Death. In fact, Yaman Taka, you come on out, too!" Only scary on the other side of the locked door. Squares and oppositions delineate honorable assignments we have taken on: getting illusorily estranged principles to dance together in ourselves and in the world. Squares represent an illusory estrangement brokered by the Reality Police, as a mean trick, to keep people obedient to empire. We gather with the Wrathful Dakinis, who metabolize poison, laughing and dancing as they feast on painful negativity transforming toxin into tonic. We call on the Artful Intelligence of all in myth, fairy tale, plant and fungal realms that metabolize poison. $24.95 Get it now at IAA e-store!

We take a look at the mythology of eclipses and the astronomy of the eclipse as a Shadow phenomenon and a disruption of the dark/light fractal of time. We also cover the basic mechanics of the lunar nodes and bendings, and identify nodal themes in the chart. We will learn how the Dragon’s Head is bringing in new energy forgrowth and the Dragon’s tail is releasing old energy which is no longer useful.We'll conclude with a specific look at the eclipse of November 13, 2012, and practical tips for channeling the energy into useful forms. Finding the shadow within the horoscope, what the shadow means, how to recognize it and heal it. $24.95 Get it now at IAA e-store!

Thus using this formula we can begin to understand how a Ternary or threefold relationship is formed. In this lecture I will demonstrate another way of casting Solar Returns. This method was touched on some years back by Rob Hand, but drifted off the radar. It first appears in Vettius Valens work, The Anthology. Rob Hand and Rob H. Schmidt did the translation and editing. Since 1998 I have been using this method in my mundane forecasting and natal work and have gone on to developed this method and find it an excellent tool for understanding the year ahead. $24.95 Get it now at IAA e-store!

In this lecture we will concentrate on what is "missing," especially concentrating on the occurrence of intercepted signs when using unequal houses, the astrological significance of the phenomenon of planets turning retrograde as well as many other "voids" in the chart. Katarche is a term from early Greek astrology, applied to a range of non-natal practices. These include what later tradition distinguishes as electional, inceptional and interrogational (horary) astrology. It may be translated as "initiative," and the astrology of the katarche responds to human intention and initiative. A mystery of astrology's origins lies here, since the word has an augural connotation, locating the reading of horoscopes as a taking of omens for the initiative being undertaken. This raises the question of a divinatory and non-deterministic interpretation, with significant implications for our practice. In this seminar we take up contemporary debates concerning the katarchic approach, especially in horary and inceptions. Illustrated with examples. $24.95 Get it now at IAA e-store! Also, check out by Brian Clark: BDTB-1 ($19.95): NOSTOI: Considering Astrological Returns Colleen Coffey The Quindecile - the Aspect of Compulsion The Quindecile, 165°, an aspect of the 24th Harmonic. Perhaps the most notable observation about this aspect of Compulsion and Obsession, is that those who advocate its use are quite fanatical about its value in the natal chart, dynamics and synastry. I really did not need another aspect, but I did stop and look, and to this point I have enjoyed the view. This lecture serves as an introduction to the Quindecile, with some background on harmonics and quick way to find the aspect using your computer program. Example charts of the famous and the notso-famous show that compulsion and obsession exist at many different levels and not all are negative.

Our capacity for Rapture, Love and Loss Cr - Du Breaking Down the Borders - 2 Monica Cromhout Donna Cunningham Curiosity Killed the Cat! Astrology as a Way of Life How to Get the Most from Your Stellium or Multiple Conjunction Astrology is a topic for intense study, one which engages the mind in delightful and fascinating ways. The more we study, however, the more we are drawn to think beyond the boundaries of our present life. When our curiosity takes us beyond those boundaries -- like a cat using up its nine lives -- some aspect of our life-as-it-is-now has to go, has to die. Invariably one of the first bits of cargo to jettison is our philosophy of life, our world view. When that happens, our actions and our daily lives change. And so we embark on a voyage of discovery, encountering adventure, challenge, victories and disappointments, and profound personal change. Donna Cunningham draws on a lifetime of experience with her own stellium and two multiple conjunctions to share strategies and practical tools she developed for realizing the potentials and avoiding the pitfalls of these planetary concentrations. Helpful for people who have them, and for astrologers counseling the new wave of clients born in the '80s and '90s who have many planets in Sagittarius, Capricorn, or Aquarius. $24.95 Get it now at IAA e-store!

Where do they come from? Maybe your great, great grandmother was one? Witches are wise, wise women they say, there’s a little witch in every woman today. Where is the goddess walking today? That wild and wise aspect of the feminine, the spirit of the witch that oozes passion and intuition and drives us deep into our inner senses. The first of the asteroids found was named Ceres, in 1801, after a powerful feminine archetype of the Great Mother. Ceres was soon joined by Vesta, Juno, Pallas Athene and many other Olympian goddesses to mark the re-emergence of empowered feminine forces. What effect has the awakening of these archetypes had on our modern psyche? Man or woman, our choices have been affected. We all spend a lot of time concealing our demons, but when it comes to the crunch, out they come to create chaos. Every challenging aspect from inner planets to outer planets has a specific unwanted behavior. For example the Sun opposite Jupiter for this conference shows fantastic intellectual qualities, but the embarrassing truth for Sun/Jupiter individuals is their innate sense that they are better. Mercury aspecting Pluto? Anxiety about being listened to means you dominate the conversation. Venus to Saturn. Insecurity about love inclines you to make a match below you. In this talk we will allow twenty-five (self)important demons to run around a bit, then we will put them back in the box. Oh. We may also try to remove the box. $24.95 Get it now at IAA e-store! $24.95 Get it now at IAA e-store! $24.95 Get it now at IAA e-store!

Monica Escalante-Ochoa Who Is Right: Western Astrology or Vedic Astrology? Sponsored by: Western and Vedic Astrology use different ways to understand a birth chart, both of them are equally good systems and give an accurate interpretation of a birth chart, therefore they are equally valuable and it only depends on the astrologer’s knowledge to do a better interpretation. We will explain the basic points of each system, the main differences, and their common points, finally we will see few examples about how both types of astrology are accurate. Most astrologers have encountered scientists or wannabe scientists who treat us as if we are superstitious, delusional nitwits. While they say never argue with a fool because people may not be able to tell the difference, what scientific arguments can astrologers present to give these closed-minded individuals something to think about? Comparisons to quantum theory and other remaining mysteries of the unseen world will be presented to demonstrate that astrology is as feasible as blackholes and other theoretical phenomena which have little if any tangible evidence. Examples from Frijof Capra’s classic work, The Tao of Physics will demonstrate how the logical knowing associated with science and the intuitive knowing associated with mysticism are two parts of a larger whole. In the words of William James, "In psychology, physiology, and medicine, wherever a debate between the mystics and the scientifics has been once for all decided, it is the mystics who have usually proved to be right about the facts, while the scientifics had the better of it in respect to the theories." $24.95 Get it now at IAA e-store!

So the Fixed Stars enable us to get a view of clear connection between previous, present and past incarnation -- that by itself represents an important part of complete Soul integration. $24.95 Get it now at IAA e-store!

The themes of the sign of the prenatal eclipse and the natal condition of its traditonal ruler cast valuable information about the general direction in life and the certain issues of the native. We can look at the prenatal eclipse’s sign as a broad canvas which can be painted by our natal chart. Furthermore, it is the prenatal lunation, syzygy or prevention which gives us interesting additional clues about how we realise our natal promise. In this talk, we are going to have practical examples showing the effectiveness of these crucial astrological points. $24.95 Get it now at IAA e-store!

This fact should not be disturbing to us as astrologers, but instead should be the demonstration for why our craft is so needed to understand life. A statement of "no" is merely the realization that we need to think outside the box to get a "yes."

This lecture will review and apply these rules so that you will know which Eclipse and path is yours for life. It's actually more complicated than just about anything else too! After years of studying this subject, I think that Astrology does not "measure"• compatibility, but it does make valid assessments of attraction and tolerance for another. In the past 40 years over 50 books have been written on "astrological compatibility" -- espousing at least as many different ideas on how to measure this elusive item. So? What works? Let's look at the seven visible planets in and between two charts and see what those can tell us. Then too, don't forget those chart angles! $24.95 Get it now at IAA e-store!

In working with the Vertex for over 8 years, I have found that the reason it appears to be the least conscious is because these are our serendipitous encounters and events we bring about due to the feelings our thoughts are vibrating. What we think about we bring about and the Vertex show us how to most efficiently work with the power of attraction in our own lives. $24.95 Get it now at IAA e-store!

Unconscious guilt is usually the culprit, which manifests in a menagerie of self-defeating relationship choices: imaginary lovers, substance-abusing partners, cheating spouses, secret affairs, and addictions to people that cause us suffering. There are positive outcomes, too, if the proper sacrifice is offered. In this lecture, we’ll explore how to uncover and resolve unconscious guilt and open to our potential for undefended love. $24.95 Get it now at IAA e-store!

The water houses 4, 8 and 12 are the most misunderstood houses of a chart because they rule the mysteries of life. On the surface the 4th house is known to signify home, security and mother. But there is a much deeper level to this powerful house. This is the house of "Happiness" which is actually based on our past and the deeper essence of security. This class will discuss and demonstrate the profound quality of this house, for it is essentially the house of the soul and the end of life. $24.95 Get it now at IAA e-store! Also, check out by Joni Patry: BDTB-1 ($19.95): The Most Powerful Predictive System in Astrology Sponsored by: Life unfolds differently for day and night births. The technique of Fidaria is based on the nativity being diurnal or nocturnal. Each traditional planet rules a period of years, with sub-periods co-ruled by a series of rulers of shorter periods. This technique can be very useful as a preliminary tool for rectification. The rulers of the time color life events falling in a particular period. This lecture will outline the basic principles of the technique and then apply it to several nativities and their biographical events to determine whether the native is diurnal or nocturnal birth. When the birth time is unknown or questionable, or if the time is near sunrise or sunset, the Fidaria sequence can define the time. The technique of Fidaria is available in Solar Fire software under "Ancient Techniques." $24.95 Get it now at IAA e-store!

Bruce Scofield What We Really Know about the Mayan Calendar The Mayan calendar, properly called the Long Count, is a kind of mundane astrology that developed in Mesoamerica some 2 to 3 thousand years ago. The use and implications of this calendar have been distorted over the past decade by a large number of self-appointed, non-native prophets. In this talk I will outline the astrological system of the Maya as I understand it, look at the only written Maya prophecies which are found in the Short Count, and consider carefully the meaning and implications of 12/21/2012 in context of the Long Count. $24.95 Get it now at IAA e-store! By understanding the ancient elements (fire, earth, air and water) and polarities (masculine, feminine) as they are used in astrology, you gain a highly significant key to chart analysis. As you gain a deeper understanding of this underlying symbolism of the signs and of their corresponding processes, you’ll find it easier to recognize blockages and blind spots.

Using the concept of rulerships assists you in refining the smaller, often unseen details in a horoscope. Georgia Stathis taught this course at Kepler College and will walk you through the process -- first comparing older rulership ideas to the more modern slant. Neither is wrong nor right. However, modern events often require modern rulerships particularly when analyzing more mundane events and current affairs. $24.95 Get it now at IAA e-store!

Each sighting birthed a new consciousness AND established a new motif/theme of people's potential, activity, major changes in options in lifestyle and world-views. We will explore the charts and their relevance to new discoveries, alternatives and potentials in the human experience, and what that did for individuals. This talk leads into the interpretation of the transits of the outer planets as "shamans"...in that they lead us to an horizon never before seen, and across that horizon to new developments in our own consciousness and options! A powerful tool in counseling people with outer planet transits, as well as analysing global trends. Astrology is frequently approached as a guide to the spiritual life, but much of what is offered to the client is frequently based on broad new-age generalities and contemporary ideas about modern planets and planetary ages. In this lecture, Rod makes use of classical techniques to reveal how astrologers can take an authentic astrological approach to spiritual guidance. This lecture will enable you to offer clients insights into their karma, challenges, and their spiritual path based firmly in ancient methods and combined with proper use of the modern planets. $24.95 Get it now at IAA e-store!
