19:15 New Stars for a New Era: The New Consciousness of Ten New Planets, Featuring Salacia – Higher Love Consciousness

Many astrologers believe that new planets are discovered when we are ready to incorporate the new consciousness represented by that planet into our existing consciousness. With the discovery of 10 new planets this century, we are entering a period of rapid consciousness development, and this is enabling a whole new understanding of whom and where we are. This talk is based on Alan’s new book, New Stars for a New Era: A Consciousness Workbook for our 10 New Planets. It will give an overview of the aspects of consciousness represented by each of our ten new planets and then go into more detail on Salacia – the higher octave of Venus and Mars combined – our new goddess of higher love consciousness who enables us to take leaps of faith. We will look at exercises to practically apply the energy, and at house interpretations with examples of famous people, to bring them to life.

19:15 Axial Chart Divisions and their use

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.

Pre-Natal Lunations offer vital information and point to predictive time lord techniques that show major aspects of our life, which are not so readily accessible with the naked eye. Since we are all born under and into a particular lunar cycle, the lunation cycle plays an important role in understanding some of the major themes unfolding in our lives. It is of great importance to look at the prenatal chart and position, which will provide valuable background information for understanding our natal charts.
