Astrology and Psychedelics: A Symbiotic Relationship
Is there a connection between astrology and psychedelics? At Esalen Institute in the mid-1970s, Stanislav Grof and his doctoral student Richard Tarnas were trying to solve the mystery of the inter- and intra-individual variability of LSD sessions. The radical suggestion that astrology might be the answer opened up a vast new domain of research. As the biographer of Grof, archetypal astrologer Becca Tarnas is uniquely positioned to present on this topic of the mutually illuminating relationship between psychedelics and astrology.

The Turning of the Self: Jungian Archetypes in the Aquarian Age
In this presentation, we'll explore the ongoing shift from the Pisces Age to the Aquarius Age from an astrological, historical, and Jungian point of view. As we incorporate the other cardinal points -- both equinoxes and both solstices -- we'll see how the turning of the ages can be understood as the "turning of the Self," the ongoing evolution of the most essential human archetype as it actualizes itself through the vehicle of humanity. We'll look back on thousands of years of history and bring it forward to the here and now, to see how the essence of what and who we are is crossing a threshold into profound transformation and new life.

Ready or Not, We're All One: Astrology as Animist Practice
Astrology is an incredible tool for understanding human psychology, human relationships, human tendencies, human histories, and human futures. But astrology has a long history of relevance beyond “natal gazing,” bringing us into relationship with the other-than-human. Re-orienting our worldviews to include not just the presence of the other-than-human, but also the volition, needs, priorities, and personhood of our terrestrial & celestial kin facilitates a more deeply embodied and genuinely enacted expression of unitive consciousness. We may each be singular, and in myriad ways, we’re also, truly, all one.

Navigating the New Reality of Saturn and Neptune
The cyclical alignments of Saturn and Neptune have consistently transmuted notions of collective reality, and while there can be excitement over the corresponding potential for turning visions into manifested form, there is also reason to be concerned about the ways in which we can be vulnerable to the “manifest destiny” of those in power and other collective influences. The combination of Pluto in Aquarius with Saturn and Neptune in Aries is especially potent in terms of constructing ideal reforms to address inequities, yet also harbors perils to be aware of. Gray will explore lessons we can learn from historical examples of Saturn and Neptune conjunctions as well as the meaningful historical patterns found with Pluto in Aquarius and Neptune in Aries, and what they teach us about building the world we envision.

Pisces, The 12th House & Jungian Psychology
Sherene, a Jungian analyst and astrologer, will guide you on an exploration of the liminal realms of the unconscious, where dreams, dissolution, and divine longing merge.

Through a Jungian lens, we’ll examine the deeper implications of the 12th house as a karmic reservoir: a place of ancestral memory, psychic imprisonment, spiritual retreat, and potential transcendence—where the soul is tested through isolation, sacrifice, and the dismantling of egoic illusions in order to access true inner liberation.

Saturn-Neptune & Uranus-Pluto: Where Minimalism and Maximalism Meet
The coming years will be shaped by two great planetary alignments: the Saturn–Neptune conjunction and the Uranus–Pluto trine. One anchors us in discipline and faith; the other ignites freedom and power. The last time these forces converged in this exact configuration was in the late 1910s—a world stretched between sacrifice and emergence. In this talk, Somya takes you on an archetypal journey through the cultural landscape of that era. From the design revolutions of Bauhaus and Coco Chanel to the avant-garde interventions of jazz and Mahatma Gandhi, we’ll explore how the interplay between minimalism and maximalism shaped a generation—and how it may shape our own.

'We Are The Muses': How the Asteroid Goddesses of Creativity Can Inspire Us to Show Up for our Communities in Uncertain Times
In modern astrological and magical practices, The Muses are not Ones who take up space in our imagination. They are there in theory, we know who They are, but there aren’t many who seem to purposefully engage with Them. The astrological–magical space is of course very focused on the planetary deities and those associated with the fixed stars, but prayer and practice with The Muses doesn’t seem to fit cleanly into this revival in the West—and particularly, in the US.
In this talk, Zacchary will dive into the asteroids of these Gawddesses, how They show up in people’s lives & charts in unexpected ways, and what these examples have to say about how a practice with Them can help us through this time of tumult.
