CENTRE FOR PSYCHOLOGICAL ASTROLOGY BCM BOX 1815, LONDON WC1N 3XX 020 8749 2330 www. cpalondon.com Autumn Term 2008 28 Sept - Darby Costello * Resistance is Futile: the Pluto in Capricorn Transit * 2008 has been a year of transition with Pluto going forth, then back and forth again, from Sagittarius to Capricorn – from Jupiter’s realm into Saturn’s realm. During this seminar we shall look at what has been touched, eliminated, transformed and expanded beyond imagining and what will now be contracted, demolished, rebuilt and reshaped over the next 15 years. We will look at this historically, collectively and in personal charts with a view towards becoming aware of how we might navigate Pluto’s transit through Capricorn with insight and intelligence. 4 & 5 Oct - Liz Greene and Juliet Sharman-Burke *The Mythic Tarot* This weekend workshop will provide an opportunity to explore the divinatory, mythic and psychological meaning of the 78 cards. We will use The Mythic Tarot and other decks as illustration, as we look at the ways in which the mysterious cards link with astrology, mythology, alchemy, numerology, Kabbalah and ancient memory systems.  12 Oct - John Green * Chironic Irrigation - Redefining the Maverick * It's nearly Chiron's 31st birthday and surely time for an evaluation about what we know about this centaur. Is he the wandering maverick, the 'wounded healer', the philosopher, the rainbow bridge? Have we become stuck on our views on Chiron in this short time of knowing him? Today we're going to flush through what we think we know about Chiron and explore in depth his mythology and what we might have missed previously in our interpretations. We will talk about his role as respectable centaur, his mentoring of heroes, his links to the promethean spirit and explore the stories of his wife and children. What do Chiron placements in the chart tell us and do we place too much importance on him anyway? There is more to Chiron than the wound that never heals and, on his birthday, let's celebrate the whole Chiron story! Bring your charts and experiences. 19 Oct - Liz Greene * The Air Houses: From Ideas To Ideologies * This seminar will explore the three houses associated with the air signs: the third, seventh, and eleventh. Although these houses are usually considered to be linked to ‘others’ – siblings, partners, friends – they are not concerned with actual people, but rather, with connections, principles, ideas, networks, and systems. We will examine the air houses from mythic, psychological, historical, and astrological perspectives as well as correlations with other symbolic systems, and also examine the presence of natal planets in these houses, transits and progressions through them, and their natural planetary rulers. 26 Oct - Alex Schlieffen * Matrix Reloaded :The Saturn Uranus Opposition * The upcoming Saturn Uranus opposition is the second phase of the unfolding of a new round about 700 years cycle that began in 1989 - 1990. This years Saturn Neptune Opposition was the beginning. What happened 700 years ago? The 14th century marked the beginning of modern times. What does that mean for us nowadays? And what are we about to expect? What is the impact on our everyday life? 2 Nov - Michael Lutin *Saturn And Ecstasy* A workshop on why, behind the anxiety inspired by Saturn natally and by transit, that planet is the key to bliss, discovering its esoteric meaning on an everyday level, with visual imagery to guide each person not only to coping, but to thriving. . The CPA is delighted to welcome Michael back to teach for us again. Alongside his teaching and practising, Michael is also the current President and Certified Member of National Council of Geocosmic Research and a Member of the International Society for Communicative Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy. 9 Nov- Lynn Bell * Blindspots and Breakthroughs: Understanding the Quincunx * Planets in quincunx have a very tense, misfit relationship, often experienced as immense frustration or locked up energy; but they can be liberated through an eccentric creativity. Richard Idemon described them as 'more opposite than oppositions,' but also explored the humor and erotic energy contained in the aspect. Each Yod links signs with very different natures- the Aries Virgo relationship has a distinctly different dynamic than the one between Aries and Scorpio, and the same can be said for all twelve combinations- we will explore them in depth in order to understand how to break through the initial limitations described by these aspects, and harness the tremendous transformative power of the Yod. . 16 Nov - Liz Greene * From The Water-Bearer To The Waters: Neptune’s Advent Into Pisces * This seminar will explore the meanings of Neptune as it traverses the last decanate of Aquarius and gradually approaches its fourteen-year transit through Pisces, the sign which many modern astrologers believe it rules. We will look at the meaning of Neptune in transit and the historical precedents for this impending shift from air to water, from fixed to mutable, and from the belief in the redemptive power of collective identity and technology to the belief in the redemptive power of the Otherworld and the mysteries of the human psyche and soul. 23 Nov - Clare Martin * Riding the Celestial Dragon - the Astrology of the Nodal Axis* This seminar will be devoted to an exploration of the nodal axis, its collective and personal meaning in our charts, and the questions of fate, destiny and life purpose which are always associated with this important axis. We will consider planetary aspects to this axis, the nodal cycle and transits and pay particular attention to the significant relationships which this axis reveals. 30 Nov - Karen Hamaker -Zondag * Plutonic themes: Pluto and the 8th House* Few people understand what they do with their own Pluto, it seems as if he has his mythological cap of invisibility on his head when we try to look at ourselves. How is Pluto acting out in your chart, and in which ways you are confronted with it? What can you do with Pluto? I will consider Pluto in the houses and in aspect to planets and house-rulers. What kind of pain does he causes and how does his transformation processes work? And how about questions of shadow and guilt? The 8th house has a special dynamic, and we feel a kind of love and hate at the same time towards its contents. We'll explore why this is the case, and how we can understand its dynamics to cope with our problems in daily life. We'll learn how to delineate planets in the 8th and in aspect to the ruler of the 8th house. Pluto in transit very often brings us things we don't expect; also good ones. But we always have to pay a certain price for it, sometimes more than we thought, often a different price than expected, and Pluto confronts us with contents and situations of a specific kind. I'll show what Pluto tends to bring, and what would be the best attitude to work with what shows up.
