FRIDAY NIGHT Lecture - Anne Vick: "Solunars"

Most of us are aware of the commonly used forecasting techniques, e.g. progressions, solar arc, eclipses, and solar returns.

A lesser-known but effective technique is the use of the Personal New Moon, or solunar, as a guide for the month. The personal lunation chart is drawn up for each month at the moment when the transiting moon conjuncts the degree of the natal Sun. Anne will explain the use and interpretation of solunars.

Here is an explanation on how to calculate solunars using Solar Fire:
Select the natal chart. Then go to the Returns box. Under Chart Type to Generate, choose Advanced and Ingress.
In the list of planets on the left, click on the Sun. The exact position of the Sun will appear in gray under “Position or Ingress.” Click the circle next to “Position or Ingress” so that the Sun position becomes black. Then in the list on the left click on the Moon.
On the right you will see a box where you can enter the number of solunars you want.
In the harmonic box, use 1 for a conjunction, 2 for an opposition, and 4 to find the point at which a square occurs. A solunar is a conjunction, so you would use 1.

SATURDAY Workshop - Marta Morris: "Saturn in Leo"

As she did two and a half years ago when Saturn entered Cancer, Marta will again present her interpretation of Saturn, but this time in Leo, with its link to the ever-changing and continuing Chiron opposition. She will compare historically the past two times Saturn was in Leo to extrapolate possibilities for the upcoming period. Of course, the outer planets are in different signs now, and their impact will be different.

Marta will use the US chart for possibilities, and will discuss briefly those people born in the previous two periods who are having their Saturn Returns. She will also discuss the signs that benefit and those that are challenged, sign by sign.

In the second half of the workshop, she will focus on the progressed chart with an emphasis on the period of change when these charts go into or out of interceptions, using a few examples. If you would like a chance to have your chart discussed, bring your natal and current progressed charts on transparencies.
