Charles Harvey, England: Polarities, Opposites, Tensions and Resolutions in the Astrological Chart
We exist poised "between the gods and the beasts", between consciousness and unconsciousness, between society and self, between optimism and pessimism, love and hate, triumph and tragedy and many other contradictions. Using example charts and the charts of students, we will explore the dynamics of some of the polarities within the birth chart and the human condition. We will examine how these opposites express in the world and look at ways in which we can find a creative resolution and reconciliation for our own dilemmas and paradoxes.

Charles has been a consultant astrologer since 1966 and is one of the world's leading experts in astrology. He has been president of the Astrological Association of Great Britain since 1973. Since 1992 he has been Co-Director of the Centre for Psychological Astrology, London, together with Liz Greene. He is especially interested in the application of astrology to world affairs and economics. Among his publications are the well-known books Mundane Astrology and Working with Astrology (both available in German). Charles is able to understand German.

Assert yourself or die! Mars is essential for our physical survival, health and achievement. When inadequately expressed, it can lead to our selling ourselves short, to depression and self-sabotage. When out of control, Mars can produce violence, tyranny and destruction. Using example charts and the charts of students we will examine the function and pathology of Mars, and how we can work with it and transmute its energy for the benefit of ourselves and others.

Seminars between Oct. 1985 and May 1995 are not listed.
Maybe someone will have a heart and add this information here...

Liz Greene, England: The Astrology of Death
The subject of death is an uncomfortable one for the astrologer, not least because astrological tradition was deeply concerned with predicting death and this approach is often confusing or impossible for a psychologically inclined practitioner. This seminar will explore through examples not only the kinds of configuration which occur at the time of death, but also the thorny issue of whether or not death is predictable, and on what level. Additional complications such as suicide will be examined, as well as the moral issues confronting the astrologer who is asked to predict death for a client.

Charles Harvey, England: Polarities -- Keys to Chart Interpretation
Jung said, "The psychology of the individual is the balance of opposites within him". Analysing the birth chart in terms of its different opposites is one of the simplest yet most powerful keys to our own and our clients' self-awareness. This seminar will explore the dynamics, paradoxes and creative resolutions of such polarities as Sun-Moon, Venus-Mars, and Saturn with each of the planets.

Saturday 29 June 1996
Charles Harvey, England: Transits and the Individuation Process
Our journey from the embrace of the Great Mother to the embrace of our own individual soul is a perilous and demanding one. Paradoxically, the cycles of the outer planets which mark out the current developments within the collective consciousness are also the keys and signposts to our own individual growth and self-awareness. This seminar explores how we may better listen to and work with these cycles in "the work" with ourselves and our clients.

Saturday 28 September 1996
Liz Greene, Küsnacht: Uranus and the Art of Stealing Fire
Uranus is usually defined in astrology as "individuality", yet this outer planet has little to do with individual values and development. This seminar will explore the Uranian spirit as a powerful collective force affecting both individuals and groups. We will examine not only the planet's meaning in the individual birth chart, but also in national charts, and historically in its cyclical configurations with other planets and their repercussions in human social, scientific, religious and artistic development.

Saturday 23 November 1996
Liz Greene, Küsnacht: The Transits of Saturn and Uranus
The movements of Saturn and Uranus form a pattern of cyclical development which affects everyone at particular stages in life. Father and son yet eternal enemies in myth, these planets reflect internal needs and drives which pull us in opposite directions. This seminar will explore both planets, in terms of their meaning individually and together as a dynamic pair, in aspect to natal planets and to their own natal positions, to gain greater understanding of certain critical junctures in life

Saturday 30 November 1996
Charles Harvey, England: The Astrology of Death ­ Part 2
Following on Liz Greene's Part 1, Charles will look further at this all important, but usually avoided, dimension of life. Death comes to us all. Part of the traditional astrologer's job was to assess when the terminus vitae would be likely to arrive. Modern astrologers eschew such fatalism. There are many deaths. Dying to our old habits and assumptions, letting go, losing control, facing "the end of the road" in work, family and relationships, can be as difficult as facing the inevitability of the physical end of our own life and our loved ones. Astrology, through transits, progressions and other methods, offers us powerful indications of such Rites of Passage and helps us to think about, and co-operate with, the inevitability of change and Death itself.

Saturday 25 January 1997
Liz Greene, Küsnacht: Complexes and Projection in the Horoscope
The idea of the complex is one of depth psychology's most important building-blocks, and it can enhance our astrological interpretations enormously, because complexes are really what we experience as fate. This seminar will explore the complex as it appears in the individual horoscope - what it means and how it works, from both clinical and archetypal perspectives, and as both pathology and inherent destiny.

Saturday 22 March 1997
Liz Greene, Küsnacht: Relationships and how to survive them
Synastry is the astrological technique of assessing dynamics of any relationship through examining the interaction of two charts. This seminar will explore the tools of synastry, both traditional and not so traditional, to shed light not only on "compatibility" but also the deeper levels on which two people enter and affect each other's personalities and lives.

Saturday 28 June 1997
Liz Greene, Küsnacht: Sanity and Madness in the Horoscope
Definitions of sanity and psychological normality change according to the times, and also vary according to the perspective taken. Most people experience altered states of consciousness, however brief, which might be construed as "mad" - even when they are apparently at their most normal. This seminar will explore the condition of "madness" - temporary, permanent, partial, and complete - from several different psychological as well mythological and astrological perspectives.

Saturday 4 October 1997
Liz Greene, Küsnacht: The Generation Gap
In common thinking, a generation is a particular age group determined by the age difference with one's parents or one's children, and it is assumed that there will always be friction between the generations. In astrology, however, generations are not described by parent-child age differences; they are reflected by particular cyclical aspects between the heavy planets from Saturn through Pluto, marking specific groups born under these configurations with certain shared responsibilities, tasks, dreams, conflicts, aspirations, and responses. These shared collective experiences are also triggered by transits at particular times, and specific groups undergo certain challenges, inner and outer, which may not be shared or felt by other age groups in the same way. Understanding the qualities of one's astrological generation can help us to understand not only ourselves but the reasons why we may fall into conflict with parents, grandparents, children, and entire social groups with whom we experience grievances and misunderstandings.

Saturday 1 November 1997
Charles Harvey, London: Money and Astrology I
This introductory seminar on financial astrology will look at the ways in which astrology can help us understand our relationship to Money and our sense of self-worth. We will look at how we can use astrology to optimize our resources and establish a more harmonious and productive relationship with our assets. This Seminar will look at how to discover our main financial strengths and weaknesses. From the point of view of practical investment, it will look at the charts for companies and how to gauge their current and future prospects. Likewise it will look at some ways of applying astrology for assessing dominant trends in financial markets. Finally it will look at a few of the main financial features for 1998.

Saturday 6 December 1997
Liz Greene, Küsnacht: The Eternal Triangle
Rivalry in love - whether in a love relationship, in friendship, or within the family - is one of the most painful of human experiences, yet it is also archetypal. Freud coined the term "Oedipus complex" to describe the original family triangle in which experiences of rivalry and jealousy are constellated in childhood. But there are many kinds of triangles and even the Oedipal triangle may not be quite what Freud envisaged. The creation of triangles in relationship is an innate characteristic of the planet Venus, but it is also reflected by other astrological factors, and some individuals are more predisposed to them than others. What do triangles really mean when they enter our lives? This seminar will explore the astrological, mythological and psychological dimensions of the eternal triangle, which at its core may be a sign neither of pathology nor of unresolved infantile conflicts, but may be one of the most profound ways in which we discover and become ourselves.

Saturday 31 January 1998
Liz Greene, Küsnacht: Insecurity
Feelings of insecurity and self-doubt may be reflected by many factors in the birth chart, as well as by certain transits and progressed aspects. Insecurity is an archetypal human condition and sometimes it can be crippling. But the different ways in which it is represented astrologically, and the different psychological roots which lead to it, suggest that we can creatively work with, if not entirely heal, our feelings of insecurity. This seminar will explore the roots and expressions of human insecurity, as well as ways of containing and working with it to turn one of our most painful internal dynamics into a positive tool for development and achievement.

Saturday 28 February 1998
Liz Greene, Küsnacht: Apollo's Chariot
The Sun is a complex symbol in the birth chart, reflecting both past and future, paternal inheritance and individual destiny. It is connected not only with vocation and our expression in the world as individuals, but also with the nature of our deepest religious and spiritual feelings, and with what we need to feel our lives are worth living. This seminar will explore the many levels of the Sun's meaning, mythically, psychologically, and astrologically, examining it through its sign, house, and aspects to other planets as well as through solar progressed aspects. We will also explore why the Sun sometimes seems to remain blocked or unexpressed in particular individuals or at particular times in life, and what we can do to help the Sun to shine more brightly.

Saturday 23 January 1999
Liz Greene, Zurich: Neptune in Aquarius: The Meaning of its Transits
This seminar will explore the transits of Neptune to planets in the birth chart, with special reference to its movement through Aquarius and the relevance of this to the individual whose chart is triggered. The historical import of Neptune in Aquarius will also be discussed. Also relevant in this seminar is the ongoing square of transiting Saturn in Taurus to Neptune in Aquarius, and we will examine the meaning of this aspect in the heavens and how affects the individual.

Saturday 20 February 1999
Liz Greene, Zurich: Pluto in Sagittarius: The Meaning of its Transits
This seminar will explore the transits of Pluto in the birth chart with special reference to its movement through Sagittarius. All those with planets in mutable signs will receive major hard aspects from transiting Pluto in Sagittarius, and many others will experience its easier aspects or, at the least, minor aspects. Pluto moving through Sagittarius is relevant for everyone. The historical and contemporary importance of the transit in terms of the collective will be discussed, as well as how Pluto works when it moves across natal and progressed planets in the individual chart.

Saturday 20 March 1999 (cancelled)
Charles Harvey, London: Communicating the whole Chart to the Client
The job of the astrologer is both to listen to the client and hear their current situation, yet also to place the present time in the context of the client's larger potential. Above all the astrologer's work is to shine light on the individual's potential and the significance of their present situation and how the present time can be seen as a step towards greater fulfillment. This seminar will set out a model for consultation work which enables the client to obtain a deeper structural understanding of their life and its potential, and allows them to work with the information that the astrologer provides. Students should bring their own birth chart and midpoints.

Saturday 6 November 1999
Liz Greene, Zurich: Old Cheesefoot, Part One: Saturn in the Birth Horoscope
"Old Cheesefoot" is a medieval term for the Devil, a role which Saturn often seems to play. This seminar, the first of two on this planet, will explore Saturn in depth in the birth chart, through its sign and house placements and its aspects to other natal planets. Special emphasis will be given to the emotional experiences of deprivation, fear, limitation, and projection of "inferiority" which accompany Saturn's birth placement, as well as an exploration of the constructive potential and deeper meaning of apparently negative Saturnian experiences. (Note: Some time will be given in the afternoon to charts from members of the seminar group. If you wish your chart discussed as an example, please bring it on a transparency for the overhead projector.)

Saturday 4 December 1999
Liz Greene, Zurich: Old Cheesefoot, Part Two: Saturn in Synastry and in Progressions and Transits
This seminar will explore the way in which Saturn is so often implicated in cross-aspects in important relationships. Although Saturn links between two charts are often very difficult to work with, it seems that they are necessary if a relationship is to reach any level of depth and transformation for both people. The aspects of transiting Saturn to natal planets will also be examined in depth, as well as important transits to natal Saturn and progressed aspects involving this planet. (Note: As with Part One, if you wish your chart discussed as an example, please bring it on a transparency for the overhead projector.)

Saturday 22 January 2000
Liz Greene, Zürich: How to survive Neptune Transits
The peculiarly subtle, "altered state" experience of Neptune transits often conceals the real meaning of the transit until a long time later, and we may blunder through a time of great confusion and suffering, or believe that we have finally found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. This seminar will explore what "happens" to us when natal chart placements receive transits from Neptune, and how we might be able to work with them with greater insight at the same time as being able to honour on non-rational levels the inner process which is occurring. At the best of times we cannot dictate the course of outer planet transits, but we may be able to understand more about what is required of us, based on Neptune's natal placement as well as its archetypal meaning.

Saturday 4 March 2000
Liz Greene, Zürich: A Psychological Approach to Hard Aspects
There are many approaches to the interpretation of hard aspects, and modern astrologers are less inclined to attribute malefic qualities to them and more willing to recognise their potential for creative energy and motivation. However, even with this enlightened attitude, we still complain about natal squares and oppositions, and fear the upcoming "bad" Pluto or Saturn transit. Perhaps we need to look more deeply and with greater realism as well as optimism at the real psychological dynamics and underlying meaning of this group of aspects ­ from the perspective of individual character, heredity, and teleology.

Saturday 18 March 2000
Liz Greene, Zürich: Jupiter: Con Artist or Giver of Gifts?
This seminar will explore the enigmatic Jupiter, who is often interpreted as a "benefic" yet may be seen in the birth chart allied with serious inner and outer difficulties and conflicts, and may equally be spotted in transit accompanying many of life's most difficult experiences. We will approach the meaning of this planet from mythological, psychological, and mundane perspectives, in the birth chart and in transits and progressions, attempting to link together the vast spectrum of experiences, perceptions, and behaviour associated with this most theatrical and volatile image in the planetary pantheon.

Saturday 28 October 2000
Liz Greene, Zürich: The Astrologer, The Counsellor and The Priest
Most astrologers with any degree of psychological insight understand the enormous value of astrology in counselling those in difficulty. The astrological reading can provide access to many deeper areas of the client's psyche, and can be profoundly helpful and healing on many levels. However, it can also prove ineffective or even downright destructive to both astrologer and client. There is often confusion if not outright ignorance about just what happens in an astrological session, on both practical and subtle levels, and astrologers may not fully understand their own motives or what is triggered unconsciously between them and the client. This seminar will explore approaches to counselling using astrological symbolism; ways of interpreting configurations and dealing with difficult questions; moral and philosophical issues, including what a chart can and cannot reveal and where the limits of the astrologer lie; transference and countertransference between astrologer and client, including the synastry between the two charts; practical considerations in terms of boundaries; and communication skills and dilemmas. The seminar is intended not only for professional astrologers but for all those interested in the interface between astrological symbolism and the therapeutic process.

Saturday 25 November 2000
Liz Greene, Zürich: Mars: The Warrior and the Thug
This seminar will explore the many facets of the "red planet", once deemed a malefic but now understood to be at the root of many inner and outer difficulties if it is not acknowledged and expressed. Mars may be linked with some of the worst human excesses of violence and brutality, but the aggressive instinct is vitally necessary for ego formation and any individual's capacity to develop character potentials; and the desire nature, if thwarted in blind or negative ways, can undermine the entire personality structure. Through myth, psychological patterns, and astrological placements by sign, house, and aspect, we will examine both the pathologies and the gifts of Mars, its power in relationships, its links with creative expression and with physical health and illness, the ways in which it is often blocked both individually and collectively, and possible avenues of positive expression which can help the individual to feel more comfortable with Martial energy in an age when it is, even at best, deemed politically incorrect.

Saturday 27 January 2001
Liz Greene, Zürich: The Troubles with Trines
This seminar will explore the group of aspects usually known as "good" - trines, sextiles, and semisextiles ­ which are often interpreted in a simplistic way without the context of the complexities of human psychology. The undoubted gifts and aptitudes reflected by these planetary configurations need to be viewed together with the more difficult dimensions of the horoscope to understand why they are so often undeveloped, or linked with serious problems, and why transiting planets in trine or sextile to natal ones frequently do not reflect the cosmic bonus that astrologers anticipate. Particular focus will be given to ways in which we can work with and develop the "benefic" aspects with greater consciousness.

Saturday 10 February 2001
Liz Greene, Zürich: The Joker in The Pack
Mercury is often equated with "intellect", or with "communication". But there are many kinds of perception and understanding, not all of them intellectual. Recent debates on the nature of intelligence and the appropriateness of intelligence tests highlight our increasing realization that the human capacity for understanding is far more complex than simple intellectual aptitude. In ancient and medieval alchemy this planet was the chief symbol of integration and the unfolding of the inner process of development. This seminar will explore Mercury from mythological and psychological perspectives, in the birth chart and by transit and progression, and also from the mundane perspective in terms of the infamous "retrograde Mercury" cycle which so often seems to correspond to confusion and difficulty in particular collective spheres.

Saturday 20 October 2001, Liz Greene, Zurich
The Psychopath - Astrological Signatures
The much-hyped return of Hannibal the Cannibal to the box office signals our continuing horror and fascination for what is know in clinical circles as psychopathy. We tend to associate psychopathic behaviour with the florid and deadly characters of films such as The silence of the Lambs, or historical figures such as Hitler, or criminals such as Charles Manson.
Yet there are many degrees of psychopathy, some of them subtle and alive and well in suburbia; and perhaps there are even elements of it in all of us.
This seminar will explore the possible astrological signatures of psychopathy, raising not only the question of wether particular chart configurationes can reveal or hint at such a personality pattern, but also the much-debated issue of wether psychopaths are born or made. Example charts as well as extensive psychological and mythological exploration may help us to get a clearer picture of this most disturbing, frightening, and yet all-too-common human condition.
Seminar participants are welcome to bring any charts which they feel might be relevant.

Saturday 15 December 2001, Liz Greene, Zurich
Trust No One: The Saturn-Pluto Cycle
We are currently experiencing the half-point of the present Saturn-Pluto cycle which began in 1982-83 when the two planets conjuncted in the last degrees of Libra.
This important and transformative cycle reflects the emergence and development of new forms of the most fundamental human survival mechanisms, involving an often unwilling revelation of the deeper and darker elements of human nature and a sense of confrontation with fate. Yet the fundamental meaning of these two "heavy" planets is not in itself negative. Although as individuals and as a collective we are often, under Saturn-Pluto transits, required to face what we fear most in ourselves and others, the capacity to survive, endure, face emotional truths, and function efficiently as independent entities requires the grit and honesty of these planets.
This seminar will explore the present Saturn- Pluto opposition from Gemini to Sagittarius, in collective and individual terms, as it is reflected as a transiting configuration in individual birth charts and as it is embodied worldly events and trends. We will also examine the special psychological perspective of those born at the critical phases of the cycle, when the planets are in sextile, trine, square, opposition and conjunction. Participants are welcome to bring their own charts on transparency.

Whatever Happened to Baby Jane: The Moon and Venus in the Birth Chart
The Moon and Venus are usually considered "feminine" planets which describe different aspects of the female archetype. Yet they are not as simple as mere denominators of mothering versus romantic love. Each of these planets has a complex range of needs and expressions, and they form a polarity in every birth chart, whether that of a man or a woman, which is reflected not only in personal relationship patterns but also in one's relationship to the body and one's capacity for self-appreciation, contentment, and physical and emotional happiness. Like every archetypal polarity, this pair of planets presents enormous challenges to balance and express, even if they are not in difficult aspect to each other in the natal chart.
This seminar will explore the innate and ultimately unresolvable conflict between the two, the particular challenges of natal Venus-Moon aspects, the differences and similarities of expression of these planets in men's and women's charts, their relevance to rivalry and love triangles, and their importance in both the experience of the personal mother and the capacity to "mother" (in both men and women) the children of the imagination as well as of the body.

The Art of Scuba-Diving: Understanding the Water Houses
The 4th, 8th and 12th houses remain an enigma to the astrological student and practitioner, despite many intelligent articles and books explaining their meaning. This is due in part because these houses are concerned with subtle spheres of experience which do not easily lend themselves to rational definitions. Also, older textbooks associate some dire things with these houses: the 8th, for example, was once known as the "House of Death", and the 12th as the "House of Self-Undoing".
In consequence, many astrologers avoid probing too deeply into the implications of planets placed here. There is also often a failure in understanding on the part of astrologers when dealing with these houses. Sometimes they are referred to as the "unconscious" houses, implying that any planet placed in these houses in the birth chart is therefore "unconscious". This is a simplistic, somewhat negative, and perhaps even erroneous definition of these mysterious spheres of the horoscope. Yet planets placed in these houses are often connected with some of life's most disturbing and shattering encounters with the invisible as well as with the creative power and imagination of the artist; and it is important to understand water house chart placements as deeply as possible.
This seminar will explore the water houses from mythic and psychological as well as ancient, medieval and modern astrological perspectives. Students are welcome to bring their birth charts on transparency.

Mother-in-Law Jokes aren't funny: The Astrology of other People's Families
Astrological patterns among blood-related family members provide us with one of the most revelatory and interesting areas of astrological exploration. But little attention is given to the ways in which astrology works when we aren't blood-related to the people whom life appears to "force" on us though apparent chance.
This seminar will explore the psychological dynamics of some typical examples of non-blood-related interactions, such as adoptive parents and children, step-mothers, step-fathers and step-children, mothers- and fathers-in-law, and ex-wives and ex-husbands. Surprisingly, the links between our own charts and those belonging to "other people's families" are as close and as powerful as those with blood-related family members, suggesting that nothing that happens to us in life is really "by chance". But the particular psychology and mythology which underpin such apparently fortuitous relationships give planetary links a different and often deeply problematic expression.
The greater our understanding of how these links operate, the more creative our interaction can be with those who have apparently entered our lives at random, but with whom we must share our past and our future.

Saturday, 7th December 2002, Liz Greene, Zurich
The Pursuit of the unobtainable: Exploring the Fire Houses
The fire houses in the horoscope (1st, 5th and 9th) are usually, unlike the water houses, given a "good press" in traditional literature, and are associated with things like "self-expression", "creativity", "luck", and "philosophy".
Yet these houses are not so simple, for they all carry an innate challenge for any planet placed in them: how to accommodate personal reality with a vision of what always lies beyond our reach, and the necessary courage and suffering required to pursue our dreams of the future and the potential which we will, inevitably, fail to live completely in one short incarnation.
This seminar will explore the fire houses from mythological, psychological and astrological perspectives, including not only natal planets placed there, but also transits and progressions to these houses, and the effects of synastry when someone else's horoscope configurations trigger our fire house planets. We will also explore in depth the enigmatic symbol of the Ascendant, the portal to the first fire house and the key to how we define our reality and gradually build the central solar sense of an individual identity.

Saturday, 3th May 2003, Liz Greene, Zurich
Ashes to Ashes and Dust to Dust; Exploring the Earthy Houses (fully booked!)
The earthy houses are traditionally associated with worldly matters such as money, health and career, and as such have not been accorded the deeper importance and value they deserve. When we want to know whether we will be successful, or whether we will fall ill, we consider planets in these houses; but otherwise they are not viewed psychologically, nor do we explore links such as the relationship between mother and vocation, or the equation of the physical body with self-value, or the nature of illness as a reflection of inner conflicts. Although psychological astrologers perceive everything in the horoscope as symbolic, nevertheless there is a tendency to interpret planets in these houses literally, missing their more profound significance and the spheres of the inner life of which the body and its worldly expressions are a metaphor.
This seminar will explore the many subtle levels of the earthy houses, and the deeper meaning of planets placed there, natally and by transit and progression. These houses, which include the MC as the cusp of the 10th, are a reflection of how we need to shape and embody what we are, and ultimately it is these houses which decide how able we are to incarnate the individual identity with which we are born.

Saturday, 25th Januar 2003, Liz Greene, Zurich
What goes around comes around - the moon and childhood (Fully booked!)
The deeply ingrained patterns reflected by the Moon in the birth chart reflect not only our maternal inheritance, but also our capacity to interact on an emotional level with other people and with life. Natal aspects to the Moon, even more than its sign and house placement, can be viewed as a vivid picture of what we encounter in the first ten months of life and how we react to it, shaping our responses and colouring our perceptions of other people.
This seminar will explore the Moon‘s natal position, particularly its applying and separating aspects, not only in terms of the psychological inheritance from and perception of the personal mother, but also in terms of the early and permanent shaping of our inner nature. Many conflicts and problems in both relationships and in health matters are related to lunar aspects, and insight can help to release energy and alter and enrich the level if not the meaning of the Moon‘s expression in the birth chart.
Students are invited to bring their natal chart on transparency, and also if possible the chart of the personal mother, to explore the relationship between the natal Moon and the person with whom we form our first emotional bond.

Saturday, 15th March 2003, Liz Greene, Zurich
The Transit of Uranus into Pisces: Redefining God
(Fully booked!)
In March 2003, Uranus leaves its seven-year passage through Aquarius and enters Pisces for the first time in 84 years. At the same time, it will be forming a trine to transiting Saturn in Cancer, a critical phase of the Saturn-Uranus cycle which began in 1989. Although Uranus moves back into Aquarius for a while, major changes will begin to occur, not only in the collective psyche, but also in those individuals with planets in the early part of the mutable signs.
This seminar will explore the possibilities of the forthcoming transit, historically, in terms of national charts, as a reflection of profound changes in the collective psyche, and, most importantly for the astrological student, in terms the meaning and psychological impact of this Uranus transit to individuals with natal planets or angles at the beginning of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini and

How to be a Fly on the Wall: Exploring the Air Houses (fully booked!)¨
The air houses are generally known as houses of "relationship", yet they do not pertain to human feeling. They are also sometimes called the "social" houses, yet they are not concerned with emotional interaction between human beings. What, then, are they really about? What do we mean when we use terms such as "communication" and "education" in relation to the 3rd house? What role do siblings play in our psychological development? What is an 11th house "group", and who gets invited to join? And when we describe the 7th house as "partners", who is really described by planets placed at this angle of the birth chart? The air houses, like the element they represent, are subtle and elusive, and those with planets placed here have particular gifts they need to develop and particular difficulties in making peace with the world as it is. This seminar will examine the meaning of the air houses and the planets in them, natally and in transit and progression, through myth, psychological patterns and individual case material. Seminar participants are welcome to bring their own charts on transparency.

Under a different heaven: A psychological exploration of
Relocation Charts
Different places, like different people, bring out different facets of our personalities. Although our birth horoscope reflects our essential self, even a short stay in a new location can heighten certain dimensions of our character, sometimes with happy results and sometimes with uncomfortable ones. The study of relocation charts is fascinating, and increasingly relevant as the world¹s population becomes more and more mobile, but these charts are not often dealt with on a deeper psychological level. This seminar will explore how changes in place can shift the angles and house cusps of the birth chart, so that the planetary patterns which reflect our innate character and development process are expressed on different levels and in different ways in different places. Participants are welcome to bring relevant charts on transparencies for the overhead projector.
