THE ACTIVITY AGENDA
 
March 16th, 2013 Saturday
 
Time: 10:00 – 17:00
 
Place: AstroArt Astrology School, Caddebostan
 
Lecturer: Dr. Benjamin N. DYKES
 
In this workshop, we will look at three different topics and techniques in traditional
astrology. First, we will learn about “primary directions,” an ancient predictive technique
which was used to describe both individual events and longer periods in which certain
themes in life become active. We will also look at how directions are used in rectification.
 
13:00-14:00 Lunch Break
 
14:00-17:00 Dr Benjamin DYKES, Lots for parents, prosperity and status
 
In this workshop we will examine two Lots for parents: the Lot of the Father, and the Lot
of the Mother. These Lots are used to describe what a person’s parents were like, and
a bit about their careers, personality, and ongoing conditions, including death. Finally,
we will study different techniques for looking at prosperity and status in the birth chart,
using medieval Persian authors as well as ancient authors such as Firmicus Maternus and
Vettius Valens. These fascinating techniques employ fixed stars, triplicity lords, the Lot of
Fortune, and more.
 
March 17th, 2013 Sunday
 
Time: 10:00-17:00
 
Place: AstroArt Astrology School, Caddebostan
 
Lecturers: Mihaela DICU, Öner DÖŞER
 
10:00-13:00 Mihaela DICU, Astrology of Relationships
 
It is not easy to understand how relations work. Even experienced psychologists and
other experts can be baffled by it. Astrology however offers a set of keys that can
be used to decipher our natal predispositions for relations in general and for couple
relationships in particular. The natal chart contains information about our love life:
likely evolutions and patterns, the types of partners we may feel attracted to, as well
as our chances and risks related to marriage, divorce or widowhood. Astrology employs
different techniques in determining the degree of compatibility between partners and the
quality of our partnerships, with their different strengths and weaknesses. This workshop
presents the essential methodology to be applied in relationship assessments, including
approaches based on ancient concepts, such as the Part of Eros, the mutual reception or
the antiscia.
 
13:00-14:00 Lunch Break
 
14:00-17:00 Öner DÖŞER, The Key Points of Transits
 
Transits, being considered as the most important prediction tools in today’s astrology,
 
show us the important trends and the events of life. Compared to other prediction
 
techniques, transits show us the events in shorter periods of time.
 
relationship between the natal chart and the transits, first of all we need to determine
 
the key indicators of the chart. Öner Döşer will present you how to read the transits
 
based on classic and modern astrology techniques and will also give some practical
 
information based on his own experiences.
 
March 18th, 2013 Monday
 
Time: 10:00-17:00
 
Place: AstroArt Astrology School, Caddebostan
 
Lecturer: Roy GILLETT
 
10:00-13:00 Roy GILLETT, Astrology, Karma and Reincarnation
 
Roy will explain how he sees astrology, karma and reincarnation interrelating. By
knowing this fundamental cycle of existence, we can use astrology to understand our
life’s purpose, eliminate suffering and lead happier lives. As well as giving a detailed
explanation, this will be a practical session looking at the charts of famous people and
some of the students present. Roy will also offer answers to your questions.
 
13:00-14:00 Lunch Break
 
14:00-17:00 Roy GILLETT, Getting the Most from your Solar Fire
 
Solar Fire is an essential tool for everyone seriously interested in astrology —whether
learning for the first time or using it professionally. This software is designed to perform
the technical chores, so you can see clearly and explain astrological meanings.
Roy Gillett has been close to the development and distribution of Solar Fire for 20 years.
The features and shortcuts he knows will amaze you. This software will do much more
and work even more conveniently than you thought possible.
 
For the first hour, he will introduce basic operations. After a short break, he will focus on
how you use astrology; be it for personal and client/relationship work or forecasting and
mundane studies. This is a great opportunity for new, as well as existing users.
 
March 19th, 2013 Tuesday
 
Time: 10:00-17:00
 
Place: AstroArt Astrology School, Caddebostan
 
Lecturer: Nicholas CAMPION
 
10:00-13:00 Dr Nicholas CAMPION, Mundane Astrology: the Astrology of the Collective
 
This workshop will be accessible to beginners who have the basic language of astrology
and all students at other levels. Beginners will gain from the introductory material and
advanced students will benefit from the discussion of theory and the examples.
 
Mundane astrology is the astrology of the world, the Latin ‘Mundus’. It places the
individual in the collective and aims to understand history and predict the future with
the aim of managing the present. It will combine an introduction to technique with a
discussion of theory.
 
13:00-14:00 Lunch Break
 
14:00-17:00 Dr Nicholas CAMPION, Collective
 
We will survey basic techniques such as ingress charts and eclipses, but will focus on
the most important two developments in modern astrology – the national horoscope
and the use of outer-planet cycles. We will also consider the theory which is essential
for understanding practical astrology, including the world soul and the collective
unconscious. We will ask whether it is possible to predict the future, what astrological
tradition says about the role of the individual, and consider the current state of the world
with practical examples.

11:15-12:15 Roy GILLETT, The South and North Nodes–Mastering our Past, How to Create Opportunities in the Future
 
The nodes are the two points in the heavens where the paths of the Sun and Moon
intersect. These points move backwards through the entire zodiac every 19 years.
They indicate the way we handle familiar experiences in life (our “comfort zone”),
or, conversely, cope with new opportunities. There are twenty four possible sign
placements, and many more ways to master them. Roy Gillett will draw on his 40 years
experience with astrology to describe and advise you on every one. He has prepared a
110-year handout listing all the positions, so everyone can know their nodes, as well as
those of their friends and family.
 
12:15-13:15 LUNCH BREAK (1 Hour)
 
13:15-14:15 Nicholas CAMPION, Enigmas of Modern Astrology
 
Astrology is a mystery. We rarely stop to think about what astrology is, and most
astrologers practise it as if we all agreed. But is it an art or a science? Is it really possible
to predict the future? These questions shape the way astrologers work. This talk, drawing
on research at the University of Wales, will look at the different ways that astrology can
be justified, and will be an essential catch-up with the latest thinking for both beginners
and advanced students. We will also look at the Master’s Degree in Cultural Astronomy
and Astrology at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David, a unique on-line qualification
which includes the study of the history, philosophy and culture of astrology.
 
14:15-15:15 Benjamin DYKES, Victor of the birth chart
 
In this presentation, Dr. Benjamin Dykes will discuss the “mubtazz” or “victor” of the
birth chart, a leading planet in a person’s life, which gives information about someone’s
purpose and values. This topic was discussed by many medieval authors, and has roots
in the astrology of Ptolemy.
 
15:15-15:45 COFFEE BREAK (30 Minutes)
 
15:45-16:45 Mihaeal DICU, Juno in the Natal chart
 
In Astrology, Juno is by far the most popular asteroid. Thanks to its attributes pertaining
to marriage and other types of socially-recognized unions, Juno's position in signs
will clue us in our propensity towards marriage, capacity to function in it (or not), and the
 
profile of suitable potential partners. Juno can also inform about the way we function in
various other relations, particularly those based on contracts or agreements, including
business partnerships, social associations or diplomatic alliances.
 
16:45-17:00 Öner DÖŞER Closing Speech and Fomalhaut Award ceremony
