One of the five traditional considerations in delineating a natal chart, known as the five places of life. 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.

19:15: Planetary Condition and Chart Interpretation: Demetra George

Ancient astrology describes many different kinds of planetary conditions, some helpful and others problematical, that contribute to how a person experiences that planet’s expression in their life. Looking to the art of Frida Kahlo, this talk will illustrate how to weave together various and contradictory indications into a detailed integrated interpretation that distinguishes the particular way that each factor operates, rather than simply reducing all the factors into one number.

19:15: The Phases of the Superior Planets: Bernard Eccles

Mars square Sun? Actually, it’s the other way round, because the Sun is the faster moving body. All the aspects between the Sun and the superior planets are formed that way: and even more confusingly, they seem to form clockwise instead of the anticlockwise direction of the zodiac. Should this affect our interpretation? Bernard thinks so.

The Lord of the Orb
2024-06-03 19:15 - 21:00 | https://astrolodge.co.uk/event/the-lord-of-the-orb/
19:15: The Lord of the Orb: Anthony Louis

The idea of planetary hours dates back at least to the Babylonians, who assigned rulership of each hour of day and night to one of the classical seven visible planets in Chaldean order from the slowest to the fastest. The position of the Sun in the sky indicated the hour, and the planetary ruler of that hour was considered the lord of the entire celestial sphere (aka orb), influencing the entire universe for the duration of that hour. Horary astrologers looked for some resonance between the lord of the orb and the Ascendant of a horary chart to assess whether the chart was radical. Medieval astrologers, such as Abu Ma’shar, used a profected version of the lord of the orb together with the lord of the year (the ruler of the profected natal Ascendant) to delineate solar returns. Despite discussions of lord of the orb in medieval and Renaissance texts by Bonatti, Abenragel, Giuntini, Galluci, Diego de Torres and others, somehow the use of the lord of the orb did not make its way into the English-speaking world. This presentation attempts to fill in those gaps.

19:15: Composite Charts: You, Me, and the Invisible We: Sheila Roher

As astrologers, we routinely use natal charts and chart synastry to explore relationship issues. That is, we study the ‘you’ and ‘me’ of relationship dynamics. But the composite chart, created from midpoints, shows that each relationship has its own energy fields, with its own needs and demands. In this talk, we’ll explore how composite charts can provide unique insights into the nature and timing of relationship issues. We’ll also (briefly) compare the composite technique to the Davison relationship chart.
