AANSW presents a World Astrology Day
Weekend Seminar
with
Mari Garcia & Joy Usher
4 modules over 2 days
10:30am to 5:00pm each day
Saturday Morning Module 10:30am -1:15pm (2:30 Hrs)
Joy Usher - House Rulership: Putting the Cart before the Horse.
"The good or bad signified by a house emanates from the ruler of that house". A simple statement, but what does it mean? The technique of House Rulership has been overlooked for too long, as both the beginner and the advanced astrologer can gain great insight into the chart through its correct application. This workshop demonstrates the merit of the above statement, exploring the origins of the houses themselves, and explores the symbiotic relationship between house, sign and ruling planet. All levels: beginners upwards.
Lunch Break: 1:15pm–2:15pm (1hr)
Saturday Afternoon Module 2:15pm – 5:00pm (2:30hrs)
Mari Garcia - Casting Down and Rising Up: the Origins of the 2nd & 8th Houses
The terms ‘epicataphora’ and ‘anaphora’ are not familiar to the modern astrologer. They are names given to the 2nd and 8th houses and refer to their role as portals of the underworld. This workshop looks at the meaning of both these houses and their significance in astrological practice. All levels: beginners upwards
Sunday Morning Module 10:30am –1:15pm (2:30 Hrs)
Mari Garcia - Crossroads: the Mid‑Life Crisis
The modern term ‘mid‑life crisis’ was coined in the 1960’s to describe the horror of turning 40. These turning points represent major shifts in the psyche and in today’s psychological parlance, has been re‑painted as a quest. However, there are always profound and sometimes disturbing changes.
This lecture explores the astrological signatures of the mid‑life crisis, the impact on individual charts, how different generations experience them and how the varying sequences affect the individual experience. All levels: beginners upwards
Lunch Break: 1:15pm–2:15pm (1:00 hr)
Sunday Afternoon Module 2:15pm – 5:00pm (2:30 hrs)
Joy Usher - Norse Mythology and the Planetary Lords of the Week
Each of the seven planets rules a separate day of the week. This method of distinguishing one day from another has been in play for centuries, and it is something we give little thought to today. This workshop looks at how the planetary lords came to be in charge of the days of the week, and explores their expression through the family of Scandinavian gods.
(Suitable for beginner to advanced)
