Feedback Survey

Each of us has access to a personal slice of the Astral World at the exact juncture between Malkuth and Yesod, where our awareness of this world and the world of the unseen manifests as the mundus imaginalis. This is the Locus, a world unto itself and a plac3e of power for the practitioner. In this class, we will explore a nuanced vision of the Qabalistic tree of life and learn about what the Locus is, how to access it, what can be found there, and in what ways it is connected to the other realms the practitioner works in.

Show Me The Money: Personal Finances in Natal Astrology

Feedback Survey

In order to make our way in the world, we need resources, money usually chief among them. Using the methods of traditional astrology, we can see how money and other avenues of support can manifest in our lives, the natural ebb and flow of these resources, and what obstacles to our financial lives can come up (and what we can do about those). This lecture will go over basic determination of the financial life from the birth chart, some more advanced tools for refining that understanding, and some basic tools of prediction that will enable you to see the potential ups and downs of one’s income and resourcing.

Transvection, the witches' power to send forth the spirit in the act of "flight" from the mundane world to the Astral, can be powerfully aided by the use of tools such as besoms, fluid condensers, ointments, and various other items.

Wanting to know what one’s own life purpose is one of the great questions in human life and one that often brings grief. Even questions of simply what one should do as a career can be very stressful. We can get useful and often precise answers through the methods of traditional astrology. Through this lecture, we will examine the general and particular matters regarding professional life and how to answer questions like “What Should I Be Doing With My Life” through the lenses that natal astrology possesses, and then we will learn to see when in the life such answers and opportunities may present themselves through a few astrological predictive methods.
