Topic: Framing the Astrological Picture: Mastering the Four Angles

Join Steven at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY for a special weekend astrology workshop.

Ascendant, Midheaven, Descendant and Astrological Nadir are the "Four Angles" of the chart.. Metaphysical astrologers of days gone by often thought of them as the "cross of matter upon which spirit was crucified.” Our view will be cheerier! But we do understand that the successful manifestation of one's soul intentions is critically dependent upon a strong, conscious response to these four elemental points. Our first step is to ask a question about the "anthropology" of modern astrological practice: why is there so much emphasis on the Ascendant and the Midheaven, with so little on the 4th and the 7th cusps? The valuing of "style" and "career" over one’s inner life and human relationship is the cultural error here. We astrologers must not be swept into it. In this class, we explore an integrated, inter-dependent view of these four critical functions.

COST: $310

This workshop is worth 2 Credits towards Level 1 certification.

Australia AP Retreat
July 31 - August 4, 2017

Topic: Aspects Intensive

Aspects are astrological bedrock. But like so much else in the system we’ve inherited, there is a need to find new language for them. What are the words that speak truly and effectively to humans in an age of psychology, quantum mechanics, and revolution in almost every category of experience? Surely it goes beyond Saturn squares your Venus so you will be unlucky in love.

Aspects are one way that we weave the chart together. In this meeting of the Apprenticeship Program, we will concentrate on deepening our skills in understanding them. These critical geometric relationships help us remember that, while you have many planets, you have only one head between your ears. In this intensive, our guiding principle will be that all aspects are about integration. With this idea in view, we will attempt to replace the outdated notion of “good” and “bad” aspects with a more sophisticated perspective.

Fellowships of the Spirit
August 26-28, 2017

Steven will present a 3-day workshops:
Introduction to Evolutionary Astrology

This three-day intensive is designed for people who do not need a "beginners' course" in astrology. Instead, it is aimed at those who want to build on their existing understanding of astrological theory and expand it into the realm of Steven's style of evolutionary astrology.

After an introduction of the theory for the weekend, we will spend the rest of our time pulling the charts of class members out of our "sorting hat" and diving into the roll-up-your-sleeves world of actual, practical chart interpretation.

Location: Fellowships of the Spirit Lakeside Learning Center
282 Dale Drive
Cassadaga, NY 14718 (Map)

This workshop is worth 3 credits towards certification. See certification information for details.

Astrology Apprenticeship Program Weekend Workshop
December 1-3, 2017

Astrological Timing: Progressions

In this weekend workshop Steven will introduce the theory and practice of progressions.

A couple have a baby. They ask me to make some predictions. I say, “For the next 18 years or so, she will get taller each day. Then she will begin to get rounder. Around age 30, we will begin to see some gray in her hair.” We may laugh, but those are very reliable statements. Those physical processes are hard-wired into our organisms, like a biological clock. Progressions work exactly the same way. They are the DNA of your birthchart, predicting the timing of developmental themes – and sometimes of developmental crises. Unlike transits, which we all share – Pluto is Capricorn for everybody - the progressions are purely personal, unique and internal. But, just like transits, in practice they are simply points that move around the chart, forming aspects, triggering development and precipitating biographical events.

Astrology Apprenticeship Master Class
January 19-21, 2018

Join Steven for a very special weekend workshop for advanced apprentice students who wish to attain the "Master Astrologer" designation. This hands-on workshop is only open to 12 students.

The intent of this workshop is to give students time to present material they would share during a reading and receive direct feedback from Steven and the other participants. This will be a small, supportive group of students who have Level 2 status that you will most likely know already from previous APs. The aim here is to provide a safe, supportive environment in order to help you improve your skills, and receive validation and positive constructive feedback.
