Saturday, October 23: Key Principles of Horary Astrology

Morning theme: Details from Dignities and Receptions

In horary and traditional applications of astrology, it is crucial to understand the essential dignity and accidental strength of a planet when deciding upon its influence. This talk clarifies the use of dignities and debilities in practical chart-work, and explains how, and in what circumstances, receptions become important. It then demonstrates how to judge the effect of aspects with this additional information taken into account (it looks, for example, at the difference between harmonious aspects involving debilitated planets, and difficult aspects involving dignified planets). This level of detail is useful in many situations, and allows the astrologer to judge whether a client should be encouraged to avoid an impending problem, or whether they should be encouraged to tackle it head-on, with the intention of surmounting it.

Afternoon theme: Relationship Charts

This presentation is mainly focussed upon horary astrology, but it reviews a number of traditional principles related to ‘relationship issues’ which cut across a broad spectrum of modern and traditional techniques. It explains (and clarifies) the traditional concepts that underlie the horary judgement of intimate relationships: from the principles that determine significators and co-significators, to differentiating between 5th and 7th house 'love issues', the importance of reception, and the astrological indications of dominance, desire or disinterest. Modern examples will be referred to in a highly practical explanation of the philosophies that are embedded in the horary art, and which need to be properly understood to bring clarity to the chart.

Demonstrated with practical examples; all presentations are suitable for all levels of experience, including beginners.

Sunday, October 24: Astro-Picking: How to Get it Right

Electional astrology is the technique that allows us to look ahead and select the ideal moment to undertake or begin something important. But it offers more than that, because electional charts have a fascinating ability to expose the strengths and weaknesses in our plans. This workshop explains the technique of electional astrology, looking first at its philosophical basis, and the most important sources, and then demonstrating its usefulness through a number of case histories relating to the themes that are most relevant for the modern client. You will be provided with a full set of notes to take away after the event.
