Jackie Slevin, "When Santa Claus Meets Darth Vader; the Jupiter Pluto Conjunction Throughout the Ages"  

When these two planets sidle up to each other one doesn't know whether to open the champagne or go into lock-down. Either way polarities preside, but during this conjunction in 2020 will we achieve global, sustainable energy renewal or battle Armageddon with plutocrats? Examples of this conjunction throughout history will shed new light on old conundrums.

Faith Linda Weissman, "Revisiting the Meaning of the MC in the Horoscope"

All astrology teaches the critical importance of the Midheaven and we usually take it for granted.  Does it or does it not have any outright message to us about a 'career'  or 'vocation' ? Can its meanings be suggestive of our deepest spiritual evolution and the fulfillment of a wider destiny?   In this talk, Faith Linda Weissman  will revisit the meaning of the Midheaven or MC in the horoscope and suggest how to analyse this point.

Bio: Faith Linda Weissman, currently residing in New York City, is a counselor or 'spiritual midwife', using astrology, Kabbalah of Light imagery work, and the I Ching with clients, students and workshop participants.
 
She has taught astrology at The NY Theosophical Society, The C. G. Jung Center, and elsewhere.  From her earliest studies of astrology, she included the use of the trans-Neptunian or Uranian meta-planets and many asteroids into charts and has been a part of the URANIAN SIG OF NCGR for  decades.
 
She has been a writer of educational and feature films, and for the Encyclopedia of Archetypal Symbolism and the Dictionary of Symbols for the ARAS division of the C. G. Jung Center in NYC. She  has been a teacher of meditation, Qi Gong and yoga, and a thirty-five year Reiki healing practitioner. She is a teacher and storyteller of classic mythology tales, offering them for women's circles, and at venues such as The Open Center in NY , The Mt. Eden Retreat Center and in libraries, bookshops, etc.   She takes women on retreat, based on storytelling and the great archetypal myths.
 
Her former monthly astrology newsletter was begun in 1999 and continued until 2009, often with information from other contributing astrologers. Currently, she writes on regularly for THE PLANETARY GAZETTE, published monthly by TRS Professional Suite (info@trsincprofessionalsuite.com).

David Hamblin, "The Development of Harmonic Astrology"

In this talk David will describe the historical development of harmonic astrology, and the ways in which it may develop in the future.  He will also talk about his friendship with Alicia Gaydos, who acted as his Muse during the writing of his latest book, and without whom the book could not have been written.


Bio: David Hamblin is a former Chairman of the Astrological Association of Great Britain, and is the author of Harmonic Charts (1983) and of The Spirit of Numbers, a New Exploration of Harmonic Astrology (2011).  His new book, Harmonic Astrology in Practice, will be published early in 2019.

Harmonic astrology enables a far more detailed understanding of the relationship between planets in the birth chart.  Whereas conventional astrology deals only with aspects that are multiples of 2 and 3 (squares, trines, sextiles etc), harmonic astrology looks also at quintiles (5), septiles (7), and all the numbers up to 32.
