Robert talks about the Lunar Nodes on the Cardinal Cross. The North Node at the 0' Aries point will be covered by examining the past, present & future of this degree. The Mars-Saturn conjunction at 8' Leo & the USA Cancer Ingress chart of 2006 will be covered, too. Robert covers the Saturn-Neptune Oppositions, which covers the severe oil and gasoline shortage.

Transits technique is evolving from the fourth dimension of time cycles into the fifth dimension of holographic replication of spatial cycles. The Sun, as the central star of our solar system is the indispensable integrating force for all planetary energies & arbitrates one's fate & free will. Phase angle returns of the Sun & the natal planets provide clients with precise dates for when to align free will with Higher Self & make empowered choices.

The USA progressed Mars in detriment in Libra forms a retrograde station for the first time in our nation's history in July 2006 and approaches an opposition with the USA progressed Venus in detriment in Aries in May 2009.

If you have ever wondered why certain transits and progressions produce a greater effect while others do not, come and learn the techniques to discern this disparity. Progressed lunations and eclipses, progressing the angles, progressed retrogradation and stations, and the power and impact of prolonged stationary aspects will be taught.

Join Robert for a comprehensive overview of astrological reincarnation theory and technique. Learn about your five soul groups as defined by one's pre-natal synodic cycles for the Sun and Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.

Why do we attract relationships with individuals whose planets form stressful synastry aspects to the most psychologically sensitive points in our natal chart? Can these relationships be seen as agents of transformation? This lecture examines the attraction- friction dynamic found in synastric squares and oppositions; and the difficult reality of living with a partner whose planets activate or produce T-squares, Yods, Midpoints of squares, or create a challenging composite chart.

Approximately every twenty years, Jupiter & Saturn conjoin in the heavens, making the beginning of a new culteral & political cycle. A discussion of various degree sysmbols for Taurus 23 will be included, as well as the 800 year Great Jupiter/Saturn cycle.
