"Encountering the Archetypes in Astrology" with Becca Tarnas
October 30th, 2021
12pm–2:30pm Eastern
About this workshop
What is an archetype, and how does it relate to astrology? This presentation will introduce the theory of archetypes from a philosophical and psychological perspective, exploring a lineage that extends from Plato in ancient Greece through C.G. Jung in 20th century Switzerland, to the contemporary disciplines of transpersonal psychology, participatory spirituality, and archetypal astrology. Learning to perceive the archetypal principles in the particulars of everyday life can deepen any astrological practice, and be applied methodologically to any branch of astrology.

"Egyptian Terms and Bounds – Unleashing Your Superpower" with Cassandra Tyndall
October 31st, 2021
11am–1:30pm Eastern
About this workshop
There are times when a client’s chart doesn’t always look particularly favourable when it comes to topics they might want more information about.
As astrologers, we are often faced with having to look a little deeper to mine potential opportunities to discover superpowers in the birth chart.
The ancient, yet often overlooked Egyptian Terms or Bounds is a level of dignity that can reveal some of these hidden, yet potent powers.
In ancient forms of astrology, the 12-fold division of the zodiac was divided again by another 5, giving a total of 60 combinations. These divisions, known as Terms or Bounds were important considerations prior to delineating houses and aspects.
In this webinar, you’ll learn how a planet, even in poor condition, can be offered a special type of immunity, that can provide a pathway toward possibility and progress.

"Pluto in Aquarius - Pathways of Power" with Shawn Nygaard
November 6th, 2021
12pm–2:30pm Eastern
About this workshop
Pluto begins its move from Capricorn into Aquarius in March 2023, yet intimations of its ingress currently percolate in our collective and personal lives via Saturn's presence in Aquarius. Considering that Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune all made their way through Aquarius during the 1990s and early 2000s into 2012, Pluto's entrance into Aquarius is like the long Third Act of a drama that began decades (if not centuries) ago.
In astrology we typically associate Pluto with power. Each planet represents different kinds of power, so what makes Pluto's power unique? This webinar explores Pluto's pathways of power in the sign of Aquarius, at the historical and societal levels, and perhaps most importantly at the soul (psychological) and archetypal levels. We will look at what Pluto has been up to in the sign of Capricorn (activating the Cancer-Capricorn axis), and how Pluto activates the Leo-Aquarius axis. With on-point guidance along the way via the words of Jung, Hillman, a Nobel Laureate or three, and perhaps even a fairy tale, this webinar will start preparing us for the profound shifts ahead.
