14:30 – 15:30 Alexandra Karacostas
Topic: “Unveiling Neptune’s Gifts”
In this talk we will explore the symbolism of Neptune and its associations with dreams, intuition, illusion, and spirituality. We will apply practical insights and discover how to navigate Neptune’s influence for personal growth and spiritual development as it connects with the planets in our chart and moves through the horoscope.

15:30 – 16:30 Chris Mitchell
Topic: “I would propose giving a talk on where “our” (Western) astrology comes from, and the debt it owes to many other cultures”
As astrologers, we know that our art is very old – but many astrologers in the West have studied a particular form of astrology and are skilled in its techniques, but are often unaware of the history of where our ancient art comes from. Human beings have been looking at the sky and assigning meaning to it for thousands of years, and astrology has meandered like a river throughout history, adapting and blossoming like a living, breathing entity. The art that we all practise today has developed over the centuries, and appreciating its history helps us put our own interpretation into context, and lets us see what an amazing tool astrology has always been. The astrology we practise in the West owes a huge debt to a multicultural group of medieval Jewish, Muslim, and Christian scholars who made the art we practise today possible.
Break
17:00 – 18:00 Tania Daniels
Topic: “Lilly’s 5° orb : its origin and original use”
One of the first rules horary students come across is that planets within 5° of the following divisional house cusp are said to BE in that following house. In this talk we are going to analyse this rule under the lens of a planet moving in zodiacal order and a planet moving in primary direction. We will see how divisional houses and the concept of advancing and withdrawing places are part of a straightforward concept that establishes which planet’s agenda the native will realize with ease and where s/he will struggle or be unsuccessful.
18:00 – 19:30 Panel – DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO ASTROLOGY
Muthu Vijayan Elango: “2025: Global Trends and Tensions from the Perspective of Indian Astrology”
Indian astrology, with its rich and ancient tradition, extends beyond individual horoscopes to the domain of Mundane Astrology—a branch dedicated to understanding and predicting global events that shape nations and their people. Rooted in classical texts like the Brihat Samhita by Varahamihira, this discipline offers profound insights into the cycles of wars, plagues, revolutions, natural calamities, and their impacts on states and their leaders. In this talk, I will explore the key astrological configurations of 2025 through the lens of Indian Mundane Astrology, highlighting the potential global trends and tensions that may emerge. Join me as we uncover how ancient wisdom continues to provide a unique perspective on the modern world.
Yeşne Karaca İren: “Esoteric Teachings versus Digitalizm”
Can esoteric teachings keep up with the coming digital era? At the down of digital age human mind evolves into far strech realms and cultivating a brand new digital society. ‘Good old days’ passing by rapidly as such that one can nearly feel the swift of its wind. Confronting this ground breaking mind shift at our door step, can esoteric teachings guide us to comprehend and help to settle in or it is getting obselete and losing ground?
Cecily Han: “Discovery your Zodiac Animal and your luck in 2025”
The traditional Chinese numerology system also includes an analogous concept to the twelve zodiac signs, known as the Twelve Chinese Zodiac Animals. Each person belongs to a specific zodiac animal based on their birth year, and each animal is believed to possess innate characteristics, which define the personality traits of those born under it. Additionally, the fortunes of each zodiac animal vary across different years. In my lecture, I will help you identify your zodiac animal and provide insights into the luck and challenges associated with your sign in 2025, the Year of the Snake.
March 23, 2025
12:30 – 13:00 Opening Speech – Öner Döşer
13:00 – 14:00 Shu Yap
Topic:”Lunar Standstills: Turning Points of the Collective”
The Lunar Standstill has been observed since Neolithic times, captured by historically-significant structures in various archeo-astronomical sites around the world. This 18.6 year cycle is often overlooked, mainly due to our modern lifestyles that have pulled us away from daily sky observations as we no longer live habitually under the stars. Reconnecting with this significant Lunar event will help us remember the old ways of living as we return to our ‘birthrites’. Listening to the poignant messages of this highly out-of-bounds Moon can also elucidate foreboding shifts in our geopolitical and social landscape. In this presentation, I will introduce the concept of the Lunar Standstill, present some research behind significant world events connected to this cycle and hopefully inspire you to get under the sky to observe this rare phenomena.
Break
14:30 – 15:30 Aswin Subramanyan
Topic: “Decennials: The Forgotten Marvel of the Ancients”
Once a revered timing method of ancient Greco-Roman astrologers, Decennials faded into obscurity over time. This talk revives their power, unveiling the basics and demonstrating how this timeless technique can precisely map life events in a native’s journey.
15:30 – 16:30 Hande Kazanova
Topic: “2025: The year of economic transition and fragility!”
In terms of the economy, 2025 is regarded as a significant transition year. What effects would interest rates, trade policy changes, and global inflation have on the global economy?
What are the secondary negative effects on the economy that the July 7 Uranus-Gemini transition and the conjunction of Saturn’s lunar nodes are preparing us for? How will some industries react to the way automation and artificial intelligence are reshaping the economy? When will issues in the global supply chain, business, labor, and health sectors become more apparent?
In this presentation, financial astrologer Hande Kazanova evaluates the impact of important celestial events of 2025 on both Turkey and the world.
Break
17:00 – 18:00 Dan Ciubotaru
Topic: Football games astrostatistics – a case study. Over the years, I’ve built a large database of football games and used it to better understand how astrology works. I will go through some examples of football coaches and see what correlation we can get between the game results and transits. We will try to answer questions like:
what is the impact of Saturn transiting the natal chart of a coach related to his success? Even though we will discuss football the scope of this presentation is to investigate the astrological factors related to success.
18:00 – 19:30 Panel – STATISTIC AND RESEARH IN ASTROLOGY
Dan Ciubotaru: Football games astrostatistics – a case study.
Aylin Bekem Yapıcı: “Statistical studies on children’s charts”
