Illinois Room - 6th floor
Through a rich and evocative slideshow, we will explore the groundbreaking research of Richard Tarnas and Stanislav Grof in using transit astrology to choose positive days for healing sessions—as well as for understanding and integrating journeys afterward. We will review Grof’s expanded cartography of the human unconscious—the biographical, perinatal, and transpersonal layers of the psyche—and its correlation with major transits of Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.

Mars, Saturn-Neptune in Aries, and The Mythology of the American Frontier
Friday September 4, 2026 9:00am - 10:15am CDT
Lakeview Room - 2nd floor
This presentation is a sustained look at the role mythic Mars plays in the (Sibley) chart of the United States, where Mars is setting in the 7th House in Gemini. With an IC at 1° Aries, Mars rules the foundational point. While signifying the declaration of independence at the country’s founding, Mars ruling the roots also suggests something far more contentious residing deep in the psyche of the country, something being stirred by Saturn and Neptune in Aries.

Mars's job is to make sure you get what you want. If you don't come first, then everybody else does, and that means you're stuck at the back of the line. Yet not everyone is comfortable with Mars's dog-eat-dog worldview and that can lead to inner conflict. In this lecture we will examine the cultural background of Mars, how to work with its provocative behavior, as well as a rundown of Mars through the signs.

Planets As Parts
Saturday September 5, 2026 9:00am - 10:15am CDT
Lincolnshire Room - 6th floor
If you’ve ever argued with yourself, you already understand parts. Planets are doorways to your parts with their individual needs and desires. There’s an illusion that our parts are all supposed to get on the same page and cohere into some integrated “self.” That’s impossible and sounds pretty boring. Your parts don’t have to agree. You can get to know them better, and all move forward together. Join me to actively engage more of your parts, from the chart to life.

How are extremes in temperament - the mythic, the monstrous, and the unbounded - described in a birth chart? At a time when what is “normal’ is rapidly changing, what are the factors in both traditional and modern astrology, that give rise to disrupters? Angular outer planets, as well as malefics, are both creative and destructive; they may defy our divine nature, changing the parameters of what is socially and morally acceptable.

Finally, we look to the astronomy of Mercury's synodic or Solar cycle for parallels and correspondences between the phases and faces of Mercury to reveal the fullness of the Mercurial Mythos.
