THE UPSIDE OF DOWNTIMES |
Rio Olesky |
| Economic meltdown, political corruption and pure greed have all combined to create hard and depressing times for many people. Part of this can be attributed to various cyclic energy patterns that astrologers understand. But the cold analysis of a series of setbacks doesn’t ease the pain and suffering experienced by so many. If we embrace the energy that mirrors these challenges, we can find ways of using it creatively. By not being in resistance to changes, regardless of how radical they may be, we may find some unexpected benefits in these times that can propel us to greater heights of personal growth and consciousness development.

CHANGING THE NARRATIVE: MERCURY/3RD HOUSE |
Laura Nalbandian |
| With the Pluto/Uranus squares starting in 2012, reality may feel like it is spinning beyond our control. . . or maybe the illusion that we have control will be cracking. Changing the narrative is one of the most powerful tools we have for establishing healthy control in our lives. We all have many stories, thousands of them in fact . . . stories that shape our perceptions of the world around us, and of ourselves. This internal narrative informs the meaning we give to everything. Most of the time we don’t have a conscious clue as to what those stories are and how much power they have on our lives. As we move forward into a new era, we are forced to look at old mind-sets and opinions that no longer serve us in a healthy way. Important transits to Mercury and the 3rd house are prime times for shifting or changing these inner narratives. |

KEYNOTE ADDRESS: THE URANUS-PLUTO CYCLE: HARBINGER OF RADICAL CHANGE |
Rob Hand |
| -- In the mid 1960's there was a conjunction of Uranus and Pluto that defined the 60's. This aspect more than any other signified the energy of revolutionary change and coincided with the birth of the counter-culture and the "New Age." Now we are coming to the first square of the two planets and already we see upheaval in the Arabic world. In this session we will explore the Uranus-Pluto cycle throughout history and see to what extent this kind of activity has coincided with radical change in the past. |
