New class offering II

I’m very pleased to offer my first recorded class on centaur astrology! This is a presentation I’ve edited from a live class I shared with the Asheville Friends of Astrology on May 21, 2021. In some ways I intended it to function as an introduction to Centaur astrology, although this one is aimed more at understanding the planets in their mundane sense (how they play out in the world, vs. their role in natal charts of individuals). You will definitely gain an understanding of what these planets do astrologically, which can be applied to their role in our personal lives as well.

We make an overview of six centaur planets: Asbolus, Nessus, Okyrhoe, Pholus, Chariklo and Chiron. We take a look at their unique orbital features, tell their mythic stories, and locate their discovery degrees and share the Pleiadian degree symbol for each. Then we look to the graphic ephemeris to see how they play out in 2020, 2021, and 2022! A special focus is given to the Okyrhoe-Nessus cycle, and the Asbolus-Neptune square, both of which loom large over 2021 and beyond.

The link to purchase this 70 minute talk for $15 is https://centaurs.space/about/#lectures – You will receive a link to the movie and a pdf of slides.

I hope the recent Full Moon conjunct Pholus opened up some stuck places for you, leading toward that healing catharsis he is notable for offering — while July’s Aquarius Full Moon conjunct Chariklo looks like it is well-timed for us to gain awareness of how our shared environment and our personal roles in the collective continue to matter significantly. Here’s to that lunation bringing us a heightened understanding of our interbeing, in the words of Buddhist master Thich Nhat Hanh.

Thanks for reading! As always, let me know how I may be of service for you with Centaur astrology readings or energy healing.

New class offerings

I’ve finally put together a class on the Davison Relationship Chart, a technique that is foundational to my approach to working with Centaurs in visionary experiences. The class is available to buy here as audio accompanied by chart files and notes. This is an intermediate-level astrology class, inexpensively priced at $11.

We see why astrologers might use Davison Relationship Charts to calculate a real-world “composite” chart for two people. This chart can show relationship dynamics between all kinds of relations: professional, inspirational, romantic. In this 45 minute lecture, alongside the Centaur planets, we discuss how to cast these charts, and interpret them in the lives of Lennon & McCartney, Freud & Jung, Ginsberg & Blake, and the channelers of A Course in Miracles.

Then we apply the same technique as a tool for exploring visionary experiences, using the case studies of Allen Ginsberg Blake vision, and Dr. Albert Hofmann’s discovery of LSD.

This is the first in a series of recordings and presentations I will be publishing soon!

Next up: Intro to Centaur Astrology, and a series of conversations with Dr. Jenny Kellogg about our favorite Centaurs and asteroids.

Solstice Sound Healing and More!

Greetings Centaur enthusiasts! I’m writing to let you know about an exciting event I will be co-hosting later this month. This year’s Winter Solstice happens to mark a significant astrological event (the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction in Aquarius.) So to celebrate this rare celestial moment, my colleague in Centaur Healing, Dr. Jenny Kellogg, has welcomed two inspiring creators of spiritual music to join us for an afternoon of healing sound, and you’re invited!

As Jenny told me: “Earlier this year, Sercan Öztürk reached out to me as one of his top listeners on Spotify. We struck up a friendship and he asked me about funding to record his next album. So in honor of how his music has helped get me through this challenging year, I offered to host a by-donation event for him.”

Sercan will perform songs from his next album, Gürüh-u Naciye, composed of songs sung by the mystical Islamic women devotees of the 15th century saint of the Alevi Dervishes, Haji Bektash Veli.

After Sercan’s performance on the saz, and following a brief meditation on the astrological moment, our friend Urana will share shamanic sound healing from her native Mongolian tradition.

I hope you can join us for this special event (on Zoom): Monday, December 21 at 1:30PM ET.

Please check out Sercan’s music on IG @delidervis_ and visit Uranbileg Batjargal at @uranaheart.

Join us to enjoy new music together while celebrating the historic alignments of the season, in a circle of healing energy and contemplative atmosphere. Usher in the new astrological era with spiritual vibrations from two mystical traditions, offered up to the heavens with prayers of celestial and earthly harmony.

*Stay tuned for my next blog, explaining some of the many Centauric overtones of this epochal Aquarian conjunction*

Ode to Vesta

Vesta

O Vesta, first Olympian, keeper of the sacred hearth.
You are the inner fire of yogic mastery,
The living flame in all beings.
You are the power of synchronicity.
O Vesta, Speak: “The locating of a particular frequency which,
once tuned in to proliferates a wondrous harmony into the atmosphere.”
