About this workshop
Twelfth-Parts, also known as dodecatemoria, or dwadashama in Jyotish astrology, is the division of a single 30° Zodiac sign into 12 equal divisions of 2.5°. The system is mentioned in the majority of the ancient texts available, Dorotheus, Manilius, Valens and Firmicus Maternus, all mention them extensively in their writing, yet the practice seems to be on the whole neglected in the new wave of ancient astrological study.
We will discuss what exactly these divisions are and how they can be used in the practice of modern astrology.
Also in this session, will be a discussion on the twelfth-parts as thought interpretations as discussed in Dr. Benjamin Dykes’ translation of Hermann of Carinthia’s work, as a diagnostic of the clients reading before they enter the consultation space.

Orbital Progressions: A R-evolutionary Timing Technique

About this workshop
We will be exploring a recently discovered timing technique, Orbital Progressions, which reveal previously hidden information in a chart. Progressions are often overlooked, or downplayed, but here we will see they are actually quite important in understanding the experiences of our “now” moment; they show the state of our evolution. Orbital Progressions also provide invaluable information when it comes to making predictions. Together we’ll roll through chart examples demonstrating the accuracy of this method.

About this workshop
While there is increasing fascination about the Fixed Stars in astrology, many people become disenchanted when they realise an important planet they behold pertains to a “violent death” or some other kind of Medieval description. There is little practical application that guides you in chart delineation using the Fixed Stars in the modern day. In this talk, I’ll guide you through a handful of Fixed Stars that are both quite surprising and worth watching for in charts.
You’ll come away with some practical delineations that will help you see particular planets in your birth chart in a new light.
