Saturday, September 11th, 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.

After transits, progressions are the most commonly used predictive tool in modern astrology. We’ll look at where this 500+ yr. old predictive tool came from and what we’re really supposed to do with them. The relationship between transits and progressions is discussed so attendees can deepen their own understanding of dynamic cycles at work. We’ll look at the progressed Moon cycle and its role in affecting other transits/progressions. How does your Saturn return, Uranus midlife transit, etc., differ depending on your progressions? Come find out! Students can learn techniques to help them layer and prioritise different transit and progressed energies to enhance the accuracy of their predictions about recent, current and upcoming cycles.

The flyer for the September workshop and details about Thursday and Friday night talks with Kelly Surtees are under this the link http://www.astrologyguild.com/flyers/2010_Kelly_Surtees.pdf  Read the details in the flyer..

Here are the synopsis of Kelly Surtees’ presentations:

‘A Deeper Look At Aspects’

Thursday, September 9th, 7:30-9:30 p.m.

Where did aspect theory come from? What are the ways to enhance the information available within each aspect? We’ll explore the development of aspect theory and the importance sign and house rulership when interpreting aspects. Attendees will learn how to add precision to their birth chart and predictive interpretations. A must for anyone looking to create simplicity out of the huge volume of information and data in the birth chart. ‘The Importance of Light’

Thursday, September 10th, 7:30-9:30p.m.

How the planets gain influence in the chart based on how visible they are or aren’t at birth. Have you considered how the Moon in Taurus varies in strength/influence/manifestation according to Moon phase? Or the time of day one was born? Are you aware of the circumstances in which the Moon sign can be more dominant than the Sun sign? We’ll look at phase, visibility, speed and station of the visible planets in the birth chart/by transit to get a more complete understanding of what’s really happening in the chart.

‘Progressions and Predictions’

Saturday, September 11th, 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.

After transits, progressions are the most commonly used predictive tool in modern astrology. We’ll look at where this 500+ yr. old predictive tool came from and what we’re really supposed to do with them. The relationship between transits and progressions is discussed so attendees can deepen their own understanding of dynamic cycles at work.

Her talk will be on the basic structure of Vedic astrology, the zodiac, house and planetary aspects, with emphasis on the role of the Nakshatras, or mansions of the Moon. The Nakshatras hold the key to character and emotional traits that western astrologers are accustomed to find in the signs of the zodiac. Focusing on this information will help western astrologers understand why their planets may be in different signs, but their characteristics will be similar. Kay also wants to focus on the Nakshatra placements of the outer planets in current transit to give some idea of what we might expect these major alignments to deliver in the next intense months. This will show how the Nakshatras are so integral to Vedic astrological prediction.

We look forward to seeing you, consider joining us for dinner at Stefanos before the talk. The first ones are usually in the restaurant by 5PM.
