About this workshop
Evolutionary astrology asks, Why? Why… Do I have this birth chart? Why…Was I born into this family, culture, circumstance? Why do I keep falling into the same traps/patterns of thought, feeling, behavior? And… very importantly, how do I change? Questions offer options, possibility, open-endedness… they kindle inquiry, digging, self-awareness. They help us become the authors of our own lives. Every planet, every sign, every house, aspect, point… they all ask questions, sometimes multiple questions. In this talk we explore the questions that outer planets (Jupiter to Pluto) ask. We play with how to customize them to fit each individual client’s chart and circumstance. We explore how in the invoking of these questions during a reading, the natal chart can continue to blossom within the client long after the reading/consultation itself is complete.

About this workshop
Pluto's transits through Aquarius ("Plutoquarius") have signified some of history's most dramatic episodes, including the French, American and Haitian Revolutions, Henry VIII's break with the Roman Catholic Church amid the Protestant Reformation, Marco Polo's visit to China, and the first encounters between Spanish conquistadors and the Inca people of today's Peru. With Pluto having just begun a fresh transit through Aquarius, we can expect equally epoch-defining developments over the coming 20 years. But how can we as astrologers understand what's in store for the world this time round?
In this talk, we'll bring together astrological theory and empirical observation to gather clues about the fate of the world as Plutoquarius unfolds. In particular, we'll employ a framing of Aquarius as the second of two consecutive zodiac signs traditionally ruled by Saturn, and see how some of the major Plutoquarian stories of the past are actually better seen as stories that unfolded over the course of Pluto's transit through Capricorn and then Aquarius.
With this in mind, we'll then turn our attention to the present moment, bringing our observations of the past to bear on our understanding of today's changing world. We'll consider the stories that unfolded as Pluto moved through Capricorn between 2008 and 2024, as well as those that came into view in the Spring of 2023, when Pluto took its first steps into Aquarius. We'll see how the events of Pluto in Capricorn and this 11-week period can be seen as omens of things to come - in other words, we'll see how how "the end is in the beginning".

About this workshop
Hellenistic astrologers regularly used lots in their delineations of natal charts--the two most important being the Lot of Fortune and the Lot of Daemon. Vettius Valens from the 2nd century referred to the former as "archetypal" and the latter as simply "the second lot." Although it is not entirely clear whether the Lot of Fortune only indicated accidental luck or rather a specific apportionment of luck, what we can see through methodical delineation of this theoretical point is the unfolding of conditions that have a material impact not only on the native's body, but on their actions in life, possessions, wealth, prosperity, and reputation. In this workshop, we will briefly delve into the history & calculations for the Lot of Fortune before then diving into chart examples illustrating how to delineate this lot for a fuller picture of the natal promise.
