The Sun on the Cross and The Turning of the Ages
Monday September 7, 2026 9:00am - 10:15am CDT
NW/OH/Purdue Room - 6th floor
Learn to see through both celestial (sidereal) and terrestrial (tropical) eyes to gaze upon the most powerful cycle of space and time. The World Tree is now precessing through the Galactic Gates where the Zodiac intersects the Milky Way. This sacred astronomical alignment was foretold by ancient prophecies from around the globe. It can also be seen in Washington D.C. underneath the Capitol dome. It’s time to crack the code! All aboard for a most magical mystery tour.

The Flight of the Chariot: Focusing on Valens’ Four Sun-Moon Lots
Monday September 7, 2026 9:00am - 10:15am CDT
Wisconsin Room - 6th floor
This presentation introduces a holistic astrological system rooted in an ancient spiritual heritage flowing from Egypt and Greece, offering an overview of Valens’ four lots generated from the Sun and Moon positions. These lots include Fortuna, Spirit, Eros and Necessity; with the Ascendant, a chariot-like structure emerges in the horoscope, resulting in an astrological construct offering tools to understand the metaphysical journey of the Soul through the horoscope.

The Shadow of Our Dark & Our Light: An Astrological Map for Deeper Illumination & Fuller Embodiment
Monday September 7, 2026 11:00am - 12:15pm CDT
Armitage/Belmont Room - 4th floor
This talk represents a wholistic map of the human Shadow, the lunar nodes and their dispositors, the “outer” planets, and the deeper intelligence of the natal chart’s somatic geometry. I’ll share what the Shadow is and is not in relation to inner awakening and life purpose, how the nodes of our Moon channel the trans-collective power of the outer planets, and an exciting approach to celestial mechanics as innate body wisdom.

The Astrological Mandala, Insight Out
Monday September 7, 2026 2:30pm - 3:45pm CDT
Minnesota Room - 6th floor
We know the chart is a mandala. This visually beautiful lecture is a new take on astrology and mandalas. What makes the mandala form so powerful in the human psyche? What special qualities of mandalas relate to the chart? Is the chart a transforming object? A separation that is not a separation but a form of union? Using a prism of art/art therapy, neurobiology, Jung, psychoanalysis, and the cosmos, explore our divine science through the mandala archetype.

The IC In Relationship: Where and to Whom We Are Tethered
Monday September 7, 2026 2:30pm - 3:45pm CDT
NW/OH/Purdue Room - 6th floor
One of the most sensitive yet under-appreciated points in the chart, the IC and placements aspecting the IC hold a powerful pull when activated in relationships. Recognizing these patterns in our charts helps trace their relational, ancestral, and spiritual origins, so that we can more fully and honestly show up to our connections with others and increase our capacity for togetherness, a true balm for our times.

The Planetary Odd Couple of Mercury and Pluto
Monday September 7, 2026 4:30pm - 5:45pm CDT
Addison/Clark Room - 4th floor
Although Mercury is often dismissed as a planetary lightweight, this assumption distracts us from its more serious side. Hermes served as a psychopomp, a guide of souls journeying into the Underworld. Mercury reveals the unconscious hell realms of disincarnate consciousness through talk therapy to recover our Persephone-like abducted thoughts. Explore Mercury’s complex archetype, its psychedelic functions, and its role in individual shadow work.

Saturn-Neptune in Aries: A Spiritual Invocation and Astromythological Flight
Monday September 7, 2026 4:30pm - 5:45pm CDT
IN/Iowa Room - 6th floor
Greg will discuss how to meet current challenges joining the grounded, strategic consciousness of Saturn with the spiritual heart, openness, translucency, and compassionate intention of Neptune. We’ll consider stories from the MB, which depicts tasks of individuation in a world of rivalry, competition, and corruption. The Aries conjunction’s placement in the horoscope highlights where to set things in motion and become an active force as we face the eye of the storm.

The Importance of Storytelling and Relatable Language in a Compelling Astrological Reading.
Monday September 7, 2026 4:30pm - 5:45pm CDT
Grace Room - 4th floor
As astrologers, we’ve studied our craft for years, often decades. We know what nadir, cazimi, and ingress mean, but that is astrobabble for most clients. The best readings connect with clients emotionally, inspiring them to embody the promise of their charts. This talk examines the importance of relatable language, storytelling, and actionable examples of planetary energies for a meaningful reading.

Timothy Leary and Ram Dass - How Their Work Is Valuable During The Uranus-Pluto Trine
Monday September 7, 2026 4:30pm - 5:45pm CDT
Wisconsin Room - 6th floor
These two men had a great impact on the culture and the collective unconscious at the time of the Uranus-Pluto conjunction in the 1960’s. I will analyze both charts, tracking their life events using progressions and transits. We will look at their synastry to see how and why they came together. Now that Pluto and Uranus are in an air trine, their teachings will come forward and guide us on how to use them.
