* This Workshop is especially designed for
Beginners to Astrology
Yet even those more advanced in their studies can learn a lot!
This 1-Day Workshop Astrologer Michael O’Connor introduces Astrology in a very practical and immediately useful way. Learning Astrology by way of watching the Moon through its 27.3 day cycle around the Zodiac, or 29.5 from New Moon to New Moon, brings Astrology alive in your everyday life. The Moon's Phase is linked to the Sun and the focus is upon this relationship. Learning about the Sun/Moon relationship in Astrology is learning about natural rhythms, Astrology itself, your own self, the male, female balance in nature and how to be in-tune with of the Moon and the natural, seasonal rhythms.

In addition to learning to identify the symbols for the planets, Zodiac Sign and aspects, you learn to apply your knowledge right away in your own life. For more advanced students, learning this tool will tune you in to the immediate and accessible realities of the lunar influences that you may well have overlooked while delving into all the deeper and more complex background, lore and science of Astrology.
*The Workshop will include the 2015 Calendar and is the one your will receive as a part of your workshop package. This package includes a rich and diverse array of short, insightful articles, tips and guidelines which you will not find elsewhere.

The only tool that you need to follow the Moon and planetary cycles is a Pocket Astrologer.

 
This handy information booklet easily designates both the phase of the Moon on any given day as well as the aspects it makes to the other planets. Watching the phases and the aspects of the Moon is fun, fascinating and practically useful. However, even this simple and accessible booklet can be intimidating at first glance and it can be very helpful for someone, especially a professional Astrologer, to introduce it as a user friendly tool.

Over the Course of this 1-Day Workshop you will learn...

 …about the Moon in General and by Sign as it transits around the Zodiac.…the basic symbols, the Astrological Alphabet, so they become very familiar.
…how to watch the planetary transits and the best days to do certain things more according to the Moon than simply by the day of the week.
You will begin to Recognize…
  • aspects that are easy, flowing and creative versus more challenging.
  • which aspects the Moon will trigger in your chart and when those triggers will occur, the energy patterns when the Moon is in certain aspects to the planets in your own Birth Chart and more...
You will learn to Tune-in…
 
…to natural rhythms & to your own natural bio rhythm
…to when to have a party, when to be there, when to be away, when not to do certain things like shop, sign important documents, have a party or gathering, even perhaps when to make love, according to your own emotional ad physical nature and attunement to your deeper flow both with the cycles and with the others in your life as well.
Those of you who will especially benefit and be interested in this course are those who are particularly sensitive to the Moon. In Astrology such a person is recognized as a Lunar Type as opposed to a Solar type of person. This means that you are very sensitive to the ebb and flow of the lunar rhythms. Generally this refers to women but men to certainly can be very lunar sensitive as well. 

One of the values of this course is that whether you are predominantly solar (cerebral) or lunar (emotional) it will contribute to you becoming more aware and balanced. However you define yourself along these lines, who and how you are is not a static, fixed situation. With awareness and helpful tools you can learn to be more balanced and centered.

Our society is  excessively solar type oriented or linear logical verses intuitive felling and is unbalanced as a consequence. Balance in all respects is the ideal. It may be said that this imbalance is the source of stress, disease, confusion, disorientation, low self-esteem, depression and a general lack of attunement with natural rhythms. It may also be seen to be a core reflection of the current imbalanced state of the human condition in general.

Due to this excess left brain perspective, we fallen under the illusion that we are meant to control nature as opposed to live in harmony with it. It may also be said that this fact is contributing to the ongoing exploitation, degradation and disintegration of the environment and of a sane, healthy and balanced society in general. Learning to tune-in to the Sun and Moon rhythms therefore can prove to be both personally healing and harmonizing, it can also prove to contribute to the healing so evidently needed in the world.

 Solar types are generally very outcome-oriented and linear as opposed to process oriented and intuitive and tend to assert more personality than soul. This generally means they do not experience life here and now and are therefore always hungry for more. This unsatisfying state may be the source of greed in the world. 

Lunar types are generally very sensitive, quite introverted, quiet, shy,  poetic, artistic, reflective, nurturing, imaginative, impressionable and meditative etc. At worst, excessively lunar types will be reactive and moody, never at peace. 

While females may generally be more susceptible to Moon cycles and currents, so too are many males. In fact, everyone is sensitive to the Moon to some degree, yet usually unaware how and to what degree. By knowing more about it they could create more balance and health.
 As we are living in a very solar world where outcomes are often more important than processes and where personalities are more evident than souls, lunar influences are often overlooked. The result is that lunar types both misunderstand their own nature and are often misunderstood by others. Consequently, these people often suffer from confusion, depression, isolation, mood swings, insecurity, reactivity, defensiveness and self-doubt etc.

The Moon and its 29.5-day cycle is one of the most important features of Astrology. By learning Astrology through the Moon you gain immediate access to its rich storehouse of wisdom.

Visual Presentation "What Astrology Can Do For You"


Visual Presentation

 

Prelude to Forthcoming Book of the Same Title

What Astrology Can Do For You


In this image-rich, 90 minute visual presentation, Michael will guide you to gain insight and overview about how and why Astrology works and, most importantly, what it can do for you.

How and why Astrology works reveals a conscious universe which is also testimony to your inherent spiritual nature. This profound, mystical peak into the inner working of existence provides an important rationale that supports the very real notion of destiny.

This inner blue-print even precedes the outer creation, which began as the cosmos itself. This is where we get intimations of the primordial fire that was ignited by the divine breath. Beneath this breath of spirit or pneuma which provides the fuel for the spark and fire of life, we discover the idea, moreover, the plan, and as suggested the consequent blue print. This is a hint at the esoteric or hidden science upon which Astrology is founded. In the outer manifestation, we can speak of oneness, of unity and of holism.

An Astrology Chart, cast at the time of birth, reveals a Mandala Mao upon which are plotted the actual positions of the planets, Sun and Moon. The relationships they form, subject to logical schemes and rules akin to those which we find in any language, mechanical device musical score and so on, reveal profound insights into human character and destiny, which is woven in and with the rhythms and cycles that we measure as time.

This map divided into, 4, 8 and 12 segments which are each given names and titles upon which the planets and lights are plotted and which are also illustrated in the form of symbolic codes, produces not just a language, but a coherent story fully woven with themes, plots, character and settings.

This story is indeed a drama, complete with beginnings, peak moments and endings too.  And yet, it is also a comedy and a love story too. And we may also describe this dramatic story as an epic poem, and poems within poems, plots within plots, all sourced from divine intent.  Our stories speak of trial and tribulation, success and defeat of hopes and dreams and, ambitions and aspirations and so much more.

Actors in the plot, we do not simply even deftly repeat rehearsed lines and emotions, in many respects we improvise, cooperate and co-create in this never-ending story. Still, there are ideals and things that not only we but life itself wants us to and even hopes that we achieve.

Yet, we need help. We need insight and guidance and knowledge of when and when not to and direction just as is true in any good journey or voyage, if you like. This is where the map, the archetypal map that Astrology is weaves the reality of who you are with where you are destined, which is actually more a state of mind, a rich collections of experiences, that it is a particular place.

This journey is comprised of relationships, those which form us in our infancy and youth, and of turning points and timing, of high points, challenging periods and illness, of opportunity and aspiration to education, career and investments which we hope will bring big and meaningful returns, if only we had more insight and direction. Of course there are other themes and plots as well and because it is an archetypal, blueprint language of life, Astrology can provide insights for virtually all of them.

This is where the many practical tools and techniques come to the fore. So, I invite you out to learn more and to discover the very rich world of Astrology and the many gifts it has to offer. Please bring a friend or two as well and thank you in advance for being here. No knowledge of or prior experience with Astrology required.
