9:00am CDT

Saturday September 5, 2026 9:00am - 10:15am CDT

The partial or total disappearances of the Sun and Moon have been harbingers of foreboding since the dawn of time. Being born on this phenomenon is traditionally described as having a “predestined” life. These “black spots” on the luminaries and their zodiacal degrees leave an indelible impression. Learn contemporary insights into ancient superstitions and discover a new definition of “fate.”

Major Upheavals of History Founded in the Declination of Neptune and Pluto

Saturday September 5, 2026 9:00am - 10:15am CDT

Grace Room - 4th floor

A fascinating historical cycle of 40 in multiple examples resounds over the centuries and ironically in Neptune’s four seasons of declination. Add Pluto and together they signal timing of world upheavals, such as the fall of Constantinople, the American Revolutionary war and many more. Could this be the source of the ancient saeculum, the unit of history discovered by the Etruscans and written about by Strauss and Howe in The Fourth Turning?

This lecture will demonstrate how to assess skipped steps and their potential resolutions.

The Polar Azimuthal Equidistant Projection, A Modern Armillary Sphere

Saturday September 5, 2026 2:30pm - 3:45pm CDT

Minnesota Room - 6th floor

Hellenistic Astrology created the Zodiacal age - the format of all Western Astrology, while using the Horizon as the primary focus of earlier Astrology faded. Originated by AH Blackwell, the Polar Azimuthal is a Horizon-based device illustrating the entire Celestial and Terrestrial Sphere. It mimics an Armillary Sphere from Primary Directions to Parans and integrates the Earth and sky with new ways of looking astrology. This work underlies Symmetrical Astrology.

Saturday September 5, 2026 4:30pm - 5:45pm CDT

LA/Miami/Scottsdale Room - 5th floor
