The Draconic Chart- Getting in Touch with Our Deeper Self
Friday September 4, 2026 11:00am - 12:15pm CDT
Sheffield Room - 4th floor
Draconic astrology, based on lunar symbolism, allows us to get in touch with a deeper emotional level. The draconic chart, also known as the “chart of the soul,” describes a more intimate side of our personality, which is not usually visible at first glance. It acts as a sort of backdrop to the tropical chart, providing access to information that enriches our view and, very often, shows the key piece that was missing in our interpretation.

Saturday September 5, 2026 11:00am - 12:15pm CDT
Illinois Room - 6th floor
As the Moon travels through the tropical zodiac every month, we are taken on an experiential journey through the archetypes of the 12 signs. We will explore how engaging in intentional writing and meditation exercises during each sign one can unveil through the lunar light qualities of our imagination and soul that help us gain a better understanding of the Zodiac and our own deep-rooted psychological relationships to them.

Anatomy of Fear: The Issue Chart
Saturday September 5, 2026 11:00am - 12:15pm CDT
Denver/Houston/KC Room -5th floor
Many years ago in a very obscure book there was a system called Issue Charts. You place the planet that is the issue on the Ascendant and integrate the natal chart from the perspective of Saturn. Saturn is often the archetype of fear and trepidation but how is there another way to break out of this pattern? Stathis explains this different view providing another perspective on Saturn's often difficult delineation.

Retrograde Planets: Shedding Light on a Mystery
Saturday September 5, 2026 11:00am - 12:15pm CDT
Wisconsin Room - 6th floor
Western astrology treats retrograde planets as weak: going backward vs forward, turning inward vs outward, obliging repetition, etc. But in Vedic astrology, retrogrades are seen as strong. Why the difference? The astronomy of retrogrades makes them shine, both in the sky and the horoscope. Whether assessing mundane matters of career or relationships, or specialized topics like spirituality, a fuller understanding of retrogrades will illuminate any chart reading.

Healing Astrology’s Great Schism: The Fusion of Tropical and Sidereal in a Co-Participatory Paradigm

There is no more fundamental and problematic divide in astrology than the entrenchment of the either/or binary assumption that either a tropical or sidereal zodiac is the true, valid way. While many have learned to consider and integrate both perspectives, this flexible and open-minded approach remains about as popular as an imam at a Southern Baptist church. But as we come to understand astrology as co-arising, astrology becomes much more powerful, accurate, and whole.

Mapping your Soul’s Intention for Evolution: The Secondary Progressed Chart
Sunday September 6, 2026 4:30pm - 5:45pm CDT
LA/Miami/Scottsdale Room - 5th floor
The natal chart reflects the intersection between the soul’s past and intended forward. Transits act as triggers for the experiential track whereas the secondary progressed chart reflects the pacing and evolution of the subjective consciousness as the soul moves through the unfolding of life experience. It also provides a map of the terrain the soul aims to visit over a single lifetime.

The 12th house is deeply valued in the Vedic tradition because it represents a profound, subconscious realm and introduces the rich, spiritual territory of the void, which leads to enlightenment if we can grasp its ineffable mysteries.

Tuesday September 8, 2026 9:00am - 10:15am CDT
LA/Miami/Scottsdale Room - 5th floor
This talk will explore some key myths surrounding Chrion, and what it tells us about his astrological implications for the collective, with an eye to major aspects, including Chiron’s role in the most important major configuration of the decade: The Great Sextile. But Chiron will be squaring Pluto, which tells us that embracing the wisdom of Chiron might first come through an awareness of how deep those collective wounds go.

Between Saturn and Neptune: The Reality Game, Beyond Boundaries
Tuesday September 8, 2026 9:00am - 10:15am CDT
MI/MI State Room - 6th floor
Is Saturn the illusion that there’s a reality, and Neptune the reality that life is an illusion? The two are like a reality game, building things up and breaking them down. They seem so opposite, but they’re working together to give you a new view. We need form to recognize formlessness, and a boundary to go beyond it. Join me to explore what you’re here to build up and break down for yourself, and what reality waits in the space between your coming together and undone.

Tuesday September 8, 2026 11:00am - 12:15pm CDT

Of the various techniques astrologers draw upon when interpreting horoscopes, one of the most powerful involves the role played by planets on or near any of the chart's four key angles: Ascendant, Descendant, Midheaven, and IC (immum coeli). In some cases, these can even prove to be the most influential factors in a chart. In this talk we will explore the meaning of each of the angles along with the significance of various planets and aspects positioned there.
