"Lords of the Four Winds: Trigon Lords and their Application in a Natal Chart" with Matthew Kenney
October 3, 2020
12pm Eastern
This event is free, but you need to register to attend.
About this workshop
At the advent of horoscopic astrology, hellenistic astrologers utilized the trigon lords as guardians of the four winds - planets of equal authority to sign rulers whose placement determined the eminence of an individual and the support that they would receive throughout their life. Over time, however, they were relegated to a subsidiary role and ultimately an afterthought, and the special techniques associated with them for interpretation and prediction disappeared. In this talk, Matthew attempts to restore their practical use from classical times. Using historical information, textual analysis, and concrete examples, Matthew will demonstrate the plethora of ways trigon lords can be used to read natal charts as well as their potential for real prediction

"The (7 Hermetic) Lots: The conceptual model inspired by Robert Schmidt" with Martien Hermes
October 10, 2020
12pm Eastern
This event is free, but you need to register to attend.
About this workshop
In this presentation Martien will address a model that underlies most esoteric teachings and can be characterised as 'the path downward and the path upward'. It helps to understand basic principles of esoteric philosophy and astrology as an ancient science of life.
In this webinar, Martien will focus on the role of the Lots in this model, and the signification of the 7 hermetic lots specifically.
Overview of the webinar:
• What is Fate?
• Robert Schmidt, the way he worked
• Astrology as a Platonic-Hermetic practice – the model
• The concept of Lots in general
• The hermetic Lots
About the speaker
Martien's last name really is Hermes! It is truly his family name, with which he is much pleased (although he is the only astrologer in the family!)
Martien started studying astrology in 1983 at the age of 24, and around 1994, subscribed to the translations of Project Hindsight, and his astrology completely changed from then on. He has taught astrology since 1986, and does consultations constantly.
He has written many booklets to accompany his workshops (some 20 in total, mostly on modern astrology). Martien studied Robert Zoller's course on medieval astrology, also with Steven Birchfield, and most lastingly Robert Schmidt's presentations and translations.
Martien has also written several books on astrology in Dutch, many of which have been translated into other languages.
His website www.martienhermes.com is in Dutch but English speakers can contact him at info@martienhermes.com
