Introduction to Zodiacal Releasing

Zodiacal releasing is a Hellenistic timing technique that shows when more active and important periods of time will take place in one’s career or relationship life, as well as times that are more apt to go more positively or present more challenges. In addition to these things, it can show the trajectory of where you’re headed in a given moment, both on the big-picture level and within smaller periods of time. During this introductory talk, we’ll go over some of the core interpretive principles of using this technique and look at examples of how this lines up in people’s actual biographies.

This lecture was recorded in January 2021 for ISAR’s Star Club, hosted online.

When Love Comes Around

When Love Comes Around

“When will I meet someone?” is a classic question that astrologers hear from a fair number of clients. In this lecture, we’ll go over timing techniques that can point to more likely time frames for meeting a romantic partner, focusing on zodiacal releasing from the Lot of Eros while also bringing in other timing tools you can use to help further cross-reference predictive possibilities.

A number of real examples are used to illustrate what the zodiacal releasing, eclipses, annual profections, secondary progressions, and transits looked like when someone met a significant relationship partner. If you are already familiar with each of these timing techniques then it will be easiest to follow; since all of the observations are explained during the lecture, most people should be able to follow it even if you don’t know all of the techniques already, and can serve as a spark of inspiration to learn more later.

Zodiacal Releasing as Narrative Healing

Zodiacal Releasing as Narrative Healing

While the Hellenistic timing technique of zodiacal releasing can be used to make predictions about specific periods of time, it also can play a kind of existential healing role by mapping the ongoing stories of our lives. Using this ancient technique in dialogue, with the astrologer contributing the technical distinctions and the client recounting details and events, we can reconstruct the narrative arc of what has already happened in the past and notice clues about what may yet emerge in the future. This lecture will introduce the topic, then walk through a detailed, in-depth real example of what this looks like in practice.

While this talk does not include a thorough beginner’s introduction to the technique of zodiacal releasing, there should be enough recap of the important pieces relevant to this particular use of the technique early on in order to follow the discussion.

Microcosms of Time: Zodiacal Releasing’s Multiple Levels

Microcosms

Zodiacal releasing is a Hellenistic timing technique that shows more active and important periods of time in one’s career or relationship life, as well as a longer map of time with regard to these topics. Though the major periods show the big-picture backdrop, this technique operates on at least four levels simultaneously. You can witness fascinating microcosms of time play out as the different levels interact, and this kind of “stacking” on multiple levels is oftentimes when some of the most important events will take place.

This lecture assumes some basic knowledge of zodiacal releasing in order to be able to introduce additional layers, though there is a brief recap of the most important pieces in the beginning to make sure everyone is able to follow along. If you’d like an introduction first, here is a link to the zodiacal releasing intro podcast on The Astrology Podcast.

This lecture was recorded in May 2020 at the annual NORWAC conference, hosted online.

Finding Joy and Meaning in the Birth Chart

While using astrology to look at problems either we or our clients are facing is common and helpful, we can also provide balance and potential resources by bringing in topics that may give different people the most joy and/or meaning. This lecture explores the different places in the birth chart to look for topics and areas of life most likely to provide these qualities, illustrated through example charts and real-life stories. This is then extended further to briefly touch on the larger role of positive luck in life, and the potential societal benefits of collectively acknowledging the areas in which things go well for us.

This lecture was based on both existing anonymous client and other charts as well as a survey returned by over 100 people volunteering their own greatest sources of joy and meaning, then clarified in follow-up exchanges and compared with their birth charts.

This 75-minute lecture was presented at the NORWAC 2019 conference for the first time. Your purchase will include both the audio file and the pdf version of the 46-slide Powerpoint presentation, including visuals of the example charts discussed during the lecture.
