Kay Taylor – 20:30-22:30 (Pre-Conference Workshop- Zoom)
Workshop: “Cosmic Reset 2025”
The year 2025 brings a huge transformation: the Lunar Nodes are changing signs, all the outer planets are moving into new signs, and we are experiencing a profound elemental shift towards air and fire. These cosmic shifts are signaling huge changes in our world and presenting both challenges and opportunities. How can we adapt to these waves of transformation and thrive on a personal level? In this workshop, we will explore each of these major astrological shifts and apply co-creative, healing principles to align with the energies of the Cosmic Reset. Discover practical strategies to navigate this transformative year and achieve the highest results for your personal growth and well-being.
Saturday, May 24

Michaela Dicu – 11:00- 12:00 (Conference-Zoom) To participate in the presentation, which is free and open to everyone, please contact [email protected] .
Subject: “Working with Malefics: Sect as a Key to Saturn and Mars”
Why do some malefic placements feel more challenging than others? What is the hidden principle behind why Mars or Saturn bring pain in some charts and power in others? This talk explores the subtle relationship between malefic planets and the ancient concept of cultism, an important yet often overlooked factor in astrological interpretation. Drawing from the Hellenistic tradition, we will examine how a planet’s behavior changes depending on whether it aligns with day or night in the chart. The session offers both practical theory and symbolic strategies for working more consciously with difficult placements. If you are new to cultism or looking for new ideas about Saturn and Mars, this presentation invites you to rediscover how light and time shape the voice of the planets.
Öner Döşer – 14.00-14:30 (Conference opening speech)
Subject: A Masterly Blending the Traditional and Modern Astrology Techniques
When Öner Döşer’s Astrological Prediction book was published in English 10 years ago, Dr. Benjamin Dykes said: “This new work by popular Turkish astrologer Öner Döşer embodies an important new trend in astrology: the harmonizing of traditional and modern techniques for contemporary astrologers.” Öner Döşer, who has been teaching thousands of students who have received training from him at the Astrology School for a long time to blend traditional and modern astrology techniques, will explain the tips of doing this masterfully in this talk.
Dilara Efeoğlu – Aygül Aydın – 14:30– 15:30 Conference
Subject: “Challenge Between Astrology and Artificial Intelligence”
Traditional astrology and artificial intelligence technology are coming face to face for the first time. With artificial intelligence entering more and more areas of life every day, could it one day replace an astrologer? With live comparisons and interactive comments that will interest you, you will think a lot about the place of astrology in artificial intelligence technology.
15 min break
Lynn Bell – 15:45-16:45 Conference
Subject: “Planetary Joys”
I wonder how many astrologers are aware of the Houses the Planets Love? In this system, each planet is said to rejoice in a particular house, and these are not the houses we associate with signs in the ‘astrological alphabet’. At a time when astrological tradition has become waning and muddled, houses have come to be associated with the ‘natural’ Zodiac, so that most of us think of the fourth house as the natural home of Cancer and the Moon, and the fifth house as the natural home of Leo and the Sun. Indeed, the meanings of the houses and the signs of the Zodiac fit together quite nicely. And yet we seem to have lost an older, richer lens through which we can deepen our understanding of the houses. This lens comes from the Houses the Planets Love. More than just an interesting relic of the classical tradition, they break with reductionist interpretations and give us a set of instructions for getting the most out of each house.
Shu Yap – 16:45-17:45 Conference
Subject: “Planning with Firdaria”
Firdaria is an ancient foresight technique that can be used with great effectiveness to plan long- and short-term goals and to understand the most important areas of development at any stage of life. This simple yet complex technique divides life into planetary divisions and provides an organizing structure for all life. When you understand the patterns that these time periods reveal, it can offer powerful insights and practical strategies to assist an individual in their personal development.
15 min break
Angela Tiki – 18:00-19:00 Conference
Subject: Pallas Athena: The warrior in your chart
The divine embodiment of wisdom, strategy, and inner clarity, Pallas Athena represents the power of the mind guided by purity of spirit. As an eternal virgin and patron of heroes, she offers intellectual power, keen perception, and the ability to act with purpose. In mythology, she aids those on a mission—much like the role she plays in our own lives when we understand her place in the natal chart. Through her sign and house, Pallas reveals our approaches to problem-solving, intuition, and the pursuit of truth.
influential figures have expressed Pallas Athena’s energy and used it to achieve extraordinary success and leave their mark on the world.
19:00-19:15 Plaque presentation – Closing
Sunday, May 25
Lynn Bell – 10:00-12:00
Workshop: Unraveling the Roots: Family and Astrology
We often get entangled in our family roots, the roots reflected in our birth charts. Families carry patterns around certain beliefs about success and failure, sex and money, love and relationships. Working with these imprints can be a powerful and sometimes painful part of our lives. This path will provide an opportunity to delve deeply into our family charts and how they relate to our own charts, to see how we and our loved ones are deeply connected but can also be secretly connected to past experiences. Hidden stories, forgotten events, exile, love and tragedy can all be part of our family legacy, and these themes often mysteriously recur in our own lives or in the lives of the next generation. We will learn how to identify recurring themes in family charts through planetary patterns and zodiac sign distributions and other techniques. These can highlight the healing tasks assigned to each of us and can also help identify gifts that come overtime.
30 minutes break
Cecily Han – 12:30-14:30
Workshop: Discovering the True Self Between Whole Sign and Quadrant House Systems
In this lecture, I will explain how combining the whole sign and quadrant house systems can shed light on the dilemmas stemming from the misalignment between a person’s external image and internal reality. Additionally, I will demonstrate how to reconcile these conflicts through the alignment of planetary placements in whole sign and quadrant houses.
1 hour break
Shu Yap – 15:30-17:30
Workshop: A Deeper Look at Inner Planet Transits
When using transits as a predictive technique, people often focus on the slower moving planets from Mars to Pluto. The faster moving planets like Mercury and Venus are often overlooked because their average motion is only 1°-2° per day. However, Mercury and Venus are personal planets that produce very intimate and visceral personal experiences, no matter how fleeting.
While larger planets present big-picture situations that impact your life — often from a broader external context — transits of inner planets like Mercury and Venus determine how larger external situations may be felt on a deeper internal level and what actions you are likely to take to deal with those external influences.
Also, when Mercury and Venus are activated in other time lord techniques like Firdaria and Profections, it is imperative to follow their movements, phases and conditions to offer accurate and detailed predictions.
In this workshop, you will learn how to interact with these inner planets as they pass over your chart, and as you uncover the finer details of the outer planet stories, you will understand that they too have a profound impact on your life.
30 minutes break
Angela Tiki – 18:00-20:00
Workshop: Cosmic Rhythm: Cycles, Ages, and Generations
Every era has a rhythm. Transits and conjunctions of the outer planets mark powerful turning points in history—the birth of new collective and personal chapters. Each alignment signals a shift in consciousness, shaping the values and challenges of entire generations. We are currently going through a very important phase that calls us to participate in the creation of a new future. In this workshop, we will explore these cosmic rhythms, understand their impact on our lives, and discover the generational roles we are here to play.
Some of us are born under these important skies, carrying within us the potential to lead, to innovate, and to respond to the new demands of our times. Together, we will decipher these generational signatures and connect with the greater rhythm that drives human evolution.
