Steve will present an overview of relationship astrology, as seen through the lens of the Evolutionary Astrology that Jeffrey Wolf Green taught.  From the perspective of the Soul, the real purpose of relationships (all types, including intimate) is to advance the Soul’s evolutionary intentions.

The talk will cover: relationship types, how to determining a person’s essential relationship needs from their birth chart, the natures and functions of Mars and Venus, and an overview of synastry and composite charts.  Along the way we will delve into core Evolutionary Astrology principles.

Steve Wolfson learned Evolutionary Astrology at Jeffrey Wolf Green’s Pluto School and graduated from that school. He has spoken at several national  E.A. Conferences and gives Soul life-readings in person and internationally by phone.  From time to time he teaches EA classes in Ashland – classes are planned for early 2010, contact Steve for details at 201-0825 or steve@stevewolfson.com.  Website: http://stevewolfson.com

Some people have always been directed towards spirituality. Others have a singular experience and drop everything from their former lives to follow a spiritual path. Some decide to follow their own unique path without a teacher; some join groups. A few quit their search all together, sometimes after years of intense questioning. Whichever category you may fall in, did you know that you all have something in common with each other?

Astrology can help identify the nature of spiritual experiences, who is likely to have them, and when they may occur, shift or end, and why. This lecture will be an exploration of these astrological commonalities.

There are wondrous discoveries, but also pitfalls, on the journey to finding oneself. Included in the talk will be a discussion of what a healthy spiritual search looks like, and what is indicative of a dysfunctional spiritual group or teacher.

Audra Stenger  started in Astrology over 13 years ago while working as a paramedic. She noticed that there were more emergency room visits on full moons, and also that on occasion, several patients with the same birthday would be admitted to the hospital on the same day. Occurrences like these piqued her curiosity.

While continuing to practice astrology, she attained a Bachelor’s Degree as a Physician Assistant in New York City. She has provided astrology readings to people from all walks of life and many countries, helping others discern the path towards their greatest fulfillment and happiness.

Marty Dixon: “Wheels of Light”
     A discussion of compasses, wheels and maps – the kind used by navigators, traditional Native American culture and Western Astrology.
     Compasses, with the assistance of sextants, have been used by ancient mariners to figure magnetic north, since the Iron Age (pre 1,000 B.C.).
     Medicine wheels, oriented to the eastern point of ascension on the horizon, are mirrors of solar path upon the earth that are used in healing ceremony and meditation.
Astrologers map the light of the heavens in relation to a human’s date, place and time of birth. This use of celestial correspondence displays a map of the human soul that can be interpreted backwards and forwards in time using the origination point of birth. All circles that follow the path of the sun are divination tools that have been used for as long as recorded history.

USER’S GUIDE TO ASTROLOGY by Bruce Scofield

Mary Plumb says “It’s an excellent, basic, inexpensive book for beginners (and others).”

from the website:
User’s Guide to Astrology introduces astrology to both believers and non-believers. It explains many little-known facets of astrology including its long history and why astrology is currently rejected by science. In fact, “User’s Guide” answers most, if not all, questions about what astrology is in one, concise volume. You’ll find descriptions of all the major astrological symbols, planets, aspects, signs, and houses. There is also much valuable information on computers and astrology, help in finding an astrologer, a “try-this-at-home” section, a list of planetary movements for the next ten years, and a directory of publications and services. http://www.onereed.com/books/uguide.php
