Meeting July 16-17, 2004 - Robert Corre
"On Morin de Villefranche's Theory of Determinations"

FRIDAY NIGHT Lecture and SATURDAY Workshop - "On Morin de Villefranche's Theory of Determinations"

On his website, ForumOnAstrology.com, Robert defines his mission as follows:

· To demonstrate the Zodiac's usefulness as a guideline for living.

· To promote a rational approach to horoscope interpretation.

· To provide a methodology to unfold the art of synthesis.

His workshop details the approach of 17th-century French astrologer and physician Morin de Villefranche, known to his contemporaries as Morinus.  Morin's unique legacy to posterity is a rational method for horoscope interpretation.  His simple and elegant approach teaches us how to synthesize a chart and to see it as a whole unit.  The methodology places great understanding on understanding that each planet motivates us in specific ways, ways that can be systematically measured in terms of both quantity and quality of influences present in the natal chart.  The method teaches how to answer the two questions posed by every client of an astrologer: What may I expect during this lifetime, and when may I expect it?

Robert writes that astrology’s value is as a tool of self-awareness that permits meaningful and practical improvements in one's life. It assumes a person has free will and rejects the erroneous notion of fatalism and superstition. A human can choose.

Your thoughts and behavior are the keys to what you are. You create yourself with your choices.

To mature emotionally and spiritually, you must recognize objectively your own character. Astrology will give you that recognition and self-knowledge.

The horoscope, in the form of symbols, allows you to see your soul; this gives you insight into what must be adjusted.

Self-knowledge and wise choices permit us to make meaningful changes that lead us to being pleased with ourselves.

In practice, astrology is not difficult. It is a rational discipline based on observation, memory, and deduction. In the course of time, astrology becomes a lifestyle.

Getting to Know Robert Corre

Robert Corre learned of Morin’s approach to astrology when he encountered Zoltan Mason, a New York astrologer who used Morin’s techniques. Robert was impressed enough with Mason to have a reading, and the reading’s accuracy and detail convinced him to become Mason’s pupil.

In 1995, Robert retired from a successful 25-year career in computing and information technology at New York University to become a professional astrologer. When Mason died in 2002, Robert took on the job of promoting Morin’s teachings and has done so vigorously ever since. He teaches four classes weekly and publishes ForumOnAstrology.com, a website that offers an online astrology course based on Morin's techinque.
