Saturn reflects a deeply held agenda to achieve a karmic task in this lifetime. Through Saturn, we construct life structures to embody our evolving self, even though the process feels slow or seemingly insurmountable. While Saturn's lessons may be challenging, they yield valuable rewards, including maturity and ultimate success. In this presentation, we will explore the evolutionary objectives of natal Saturn placements and pivotal turning points, with a focus on embracing Saturn with an open heart.
Neptune and Saturn in Pisces have profoundly influenced us in recent years, clearly connected to global themes of illness, suffering, floods, and hurricanes — and the corresponding personal awakening of intuition and compassion — or overwhelm and dissolution of reality. Neptune in Pisces could be called a cosmic deluge, while Saturn's arrival in 2023 signals the need for discipline and focus to thrive. As these planets, representing Oneness and Structure respectively, converge in Aries in 2025, we are tasked with creating a brave new world founded on pioneering ideals, individualism, and even laying the groundwork for survival itself.
Narcissism isn’t limited to one astrological signature, nor does it have a singular expression.

From the spectrum of "no-self", to typical narcissist tendencies, to diagnosable disorders, we’ll dive deep. Fascinating chart examples reveal astrological patterns, while practical tools help us navigate working with narcissistic clients and exploring pathways to healing.

Power. The word evokes a strong response. We often don’t want to think about power dynamics in our role as astrologers. Yet, we hold potent information and it is easy for clients to place us on a pedestal. It is also possible for parts of us to enjoy being an expert, having control, needing to rescue or to feel important. In this webinar we will explore the power dynamics astrologers experience in the astrology session. (Hosted by Kepler College)

Relationship questions come up in virtually every session, whether it’s about romantic partners, work colleagues, or family members. Yet sometimes a couple wants to come in together to understand the higher purpose of their relationship or for help navigating challenges. Skillful consultation skills are as important as the astrology itself in all of these scenarios. This talk will explore the ethical issues and consulting skills we need.
Although natal charts reflect our core nature and life path, over time we embody the secondary progressed chart as an overlay. This applies to composites and synastry too, providing powerful medicine for couple’s consultations. Natal charts provide the blueprint; progressed charts depict emerging themes, strengths, and weaknesses. We’ll explore an evolutionary approach to transition and growth periods via progressions that may not show up in natal analysis.
Relationship questions might be the number one reason people seek out astrology. In this talk we’ll explore key chart dynamics and specific times when we’re asked to reconsider our karmic relationship habit patterns — or a particular relationship. We’ll consider when to surrender and when to lean into healing.

In this talk, we will explore the ingress of Pluto into Aquarius from a personal, co-creative perspective.

A 90-minute lecture to understand astrology, as it relates to vocation.

Let’s explore an evolutionary approach to vocation, from the foundation of houses and rulerships, to the more spiritual indicators of the 12th house and the Lunar Nodes.
