Revisioning Transits: Understanding Moments in Time as Aspects of Repeating Cycles

Wednesday September 9, 2026 10:00am - 4:00pm CDT

TBA

Poet Edna St. Vincent Millay wrote, “It's not true that life is one damn thing after another; it's one damn thing over and over.” Unfortunately, we tend to interpret transits as singular events, but they do not occur in a vacuum. For example, Saturn’s opening square to one’s Sun is related to the previous conjunction, closing square, opposition, etc. Transits always have historical precedence and these cycles tell powerful stories that enable us to navigate change.

The Moment of Eros: The Soul Takes Wing.

Wednesday September 9, 2026 10:00am - 4:00pm CDT

TBA

Certain encounters have a quality of soul quickening, which the Greeks called eros. We most commonly associate this with romantic love, but eros is about a movement of the soul, an awakening of a quality of being, and at times, an activation of destiny. It can enter one’s life through a blind push, an obsession, a call to action. We will look at different timing techniques: Transits. progressions, Solar Arcs,to see when these powerful awakenings happen.

The Skillful Synthesis of Planets, Signs, and Houses

Wednesday September 9, 2026 10:00am - 4:00pm CDT

TBA

We can talk theoretically all day long about Mercury or Venus, but they only take on living human meaning in the context of their signs and houses. The heart of the craft of astrology lies in blending these three levels of astrological symbolism. A 3rd house Venus in Libra is a different beast entirely than a 12th house Venus in Aries. Join Steven Forrest for a step-by-step analysis of this critical integrative process.
