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.
