19:15  Chiron: Beyond Suffering: Fernanda Paiva Chiron, known as ‘The Wounded Healer’, is such an important part of the astrological chart. It’s one of the big driving forces behind our empathy, search for meaning, and even, in many cases, vocational choices.  There will be no Chart Discussion after this presentation due to the Lodge AGM

In 2014 André Barbault wrote that the 2026 conjunction of Saturn and Neptune, at 0 Aries, would be ‘The most benefic configuration of the century’. Historically the Saturn Neptune cycle, particularly the conjunction, had coincided with major events in Russia even before the Revolution. This chart will look at the cycle and what was happening in Russia from the discovery of Neptune to the present day..

The significators in a natal chart do not only signify the native’s characteristics and her/his psychological profile. Within a chart, there are many significators that signify the native’s health, money, profession, children, other people in his life and many other things. These significators may be determined through some special techniques. The significators, which are crucial in reading a chart, help us to make more precise and detailed predictions regarding the native’s life.  In this presentation, Oner will teach how to determine significators of marriage, children, health, career and financial significators in some sample charts.

The chart division along the equinoctial line Aries-Libra divides the hemisphere in north and south, a distinction that is associated with the measurement of power. Each northern sign has a corresponding southern sign that is commands and hence each southern sign has a corresponding northern sign that is must obey. The division by the solstice axis, on the other hand, gives us the straight rising signs and the oblique rising signs which have distinct meanings and uses especially in horary and electional astrology. The antiscia or mirror points also derive from this division and link one straight rising with one oblique rising sign, establishing another chain of command.

This presentation will delve into planetary symbolism when applied to physical description. Morgan will introduce a streamlined approach to physical description in the natal chart based on the foundational work of William Lilly. The focus will be on identifying the dominant planetary influence on the native’s body and how its impact can go beyond physical description. Starting with the example from Lilly’s book Christian Astrology, we will then look at a series of related nativities (same family). Additionally, time allowing, an example of the application of physical description in a horary chart will be briefly explored.
