Comet and Astrology 

Rod Chang

A possible great comet may be bright in the night sky in October. Comets are associated with taboos in people’s hearts. Whenever people see comets, they immediately believe that something bad or catastrophic is going to happen. In this talk I would like to talk about: what ancient astrologers considered when making predictions about comets; how we can interpret the influence of comets using a more modern psychological astrological approach; and the influence of comets on personal charts. I will also look at how to use the NASA website to generate an ephemeris for a comet or other celestial body.

What Changes can we expect in 2024?

Robyn Ray

As we move from the Piscean Age towards the Aquarian Age, what can we expect in the coming months? How can we use the Moon Phase Cycles to guide us on this extraordinary journey?
The outer Planetary Cycles give us the backdrop, but the Moon Phase Cycles can be used to pinpoint and time events into the future. Being able to follow and time the many stories that unfold in the world around us, enriches and enhances our Astrology.

Robyn is a Teacher, a Counsellor, and a Consultant, combining both Modern and Traditional
Astrology. She was one of the original Members of the APAI where she worked as a Council Member for many years. Her fascination with the Lunar Phases began when she found that she could use them to time events in the future, with the extraordinary accuracy that this system provides.

Finding your Partner(s) in the Chart

I think for most of the world, a chief concern that affects everyone is that of relationships. When, where, how will I meet “The One?” Sadly not everyone sails off into the sunset holding hands with a life partner. Can we see this in the natal chart? We will take a light hearted look at the indicators for marriage, how to find it, the potential quality of the intended and the when.

Family Astrology

Luiza Azancot

A natal chart is analyzed as a solo entity.  Should it stand alone?  We did not auto-generate.  We are born from parents; we belong to a family circle.  A family is not just a group of people related by blood, marriage, or adoption.  It is much more than that. 

In this Webinar I will be looking at how even beginner astrologers can learn to find the web of interactions inside a family, roles, secrets, values, expectations or unlived desires that might be passed on to you.

Luiza Azancot – A triple Gemini born in Lisbon, Portugal, has had a non-linear path that included an MBA in International Business, and residence in several countries. Astrology has been her full-time occupation since 2001. While living in the USA, completed level IV of the NCGR-PAA certification.  

After returning to Portugal, becomes the editor of “4 Estações” and adviser to the Portuguese Astrological Association, publishing a book “Diary of an Astrologer” in 2015. Has presented at several international conferences and her articles have been featured in The Astrological Journal of Great Britain, and Isar website.

Although her main activity is as an astrological consultant with local and international clients, she cares for her vegetable garden and writes an occasional bilingual blog on mundane and personal astrology

She offers birth chart readings to clients internationally, as well as presentations at conferences worldwide. Margaret’s work is grounded in a Jungian based psychological approach.
