Rosie Finn – Pluto Unleashed: Out-of-Bounds for the Last Time Lawrence Suite Three/Zoom Room Three
Pluto pulsates in-bounds and out-of-bounds south from 2025 to 2035, a time of revolution, empire collapse, and awakening. Using history as a guide, we will delineate the difference between Pluto out-of-bounds north (empires expand) and south (empires fall), and what that means for this last time Pluto is unleashed.

Dr. Frances Clynes – Our Greatest Potential: Using our Difficult Aspect Patterns Chatterley Suite/Zoom Room Four
Jung describes the complex as ‘an animated foreign body’ that acts outside our conscious control. In astrology we know it as a challenging aspect pattern. This talk will look how, by bringing these difficult configurations into our conscious awareness, we can make them work for us.

Kira Sutherland – Planetary Joys and their use in Medical Astrology Online Speaker/Zoom Room Five

By integrating planetary joys with the house meanings, we will deepen our ability to read the natal chart as a living map of wellbeing.

Lynn Bell – Splitting Apart, Opening the Mind; Uranus in Gemini Chatterley Suite/Zoom room Four
Uranus in Gemini pulls us into a dialectic of extremes. Our differences and disagreements seemed heightened, to the point of incomprehension.

But this placement also brings a spectacular opening, a way to break through into something new, to see the world in ways that had never before been imagined.

Daisy Plummer for UWTSD – Analyzing the past to speculate on the future: astrologers’ theory of history. Lawrence Suite One/Zoom Room One
Historians have long debated the function of history which has spawned different theories around micro and macro-narratives and a post narrative state.

Berna Lee 李映晴 – When the Fire Horse Returns: Xuanxue and the Chinese Astrological Cycles Online Speaker/Zoom Room Five
This talk examines Chinese astrology through the philosophical lens of Xuanxue (玄學) and the Chinese notion of fate articulated as ming (命) and yun (運). It proposes that the relational ontology articulated in Xuanxue provides a useful framework for interpreting Chinese astrological cycles. The presentation explores this interpretation through the sixty-year stem–branch cycle, focusing on the Fire Horse year (2026) and the Fire Goat year (2027). Drawing on historical discussions this talk considers how these cycles have been understood across time.

Gill Dorren (for the Astrological Lodge of London) – From Nergal to Mars from Marduk to Jupiter Lawrence Suite One/Zoom Room One
I will explore the evolution of the symbolism of the planets from the pillars of Gobekli Tepe to the Greek thought.

Nina Gotua – Lightning Thief: Nikola Tesla, the Man Who Invented the Future Lawrence Suite Two/Zoom Room Two
Tesla was a 19th Century engineer and visionary. His inventions changed the world, but the inventor himself was misunderstood in his own time and overlooked in ours. Astrology offers us a unique vehicle for insight into the life and mind of an enigmatic and extraordinary man.

Masen Clark Gaspervic Lawrence Suite Three/Zoom Room Three
The Four Humours in the Age of AI: Seasonal Rhythms as Constitutional Maintenance
Aristotle’s humoral model mapped physiology to seasonal cycles: heat, dryness, cold, wetness. Neuroscience reveals patterns in circadian rhythms, hormone fluctuations, and immunity. Bridging humoral theory and chronobiology, ‘faith in the future’ means trusting these timing systems. We explore protocols for aligning lifestyle, nutrition, and interventions with natural cycles via astrology.

Sue Tompkins – Weather Forecasting and Astrology Chatterley Suite/Zoom room Four
Exploring some ancient and more recent astro-meteorological ideas, Sue will show that whilst day-to-day weather forecasting may not be easy – major weather events – storms, extremes of wind and various types of precipitation such as rain and snow, drought and excessive heat or cold are fairly easy to predict.

Öner Döşer – What Does the Future of Our Relationship Look Like? Online Speaker/Zoom Room Five

2.30pm – 3.30pm – Plenary Panel Discussion Chatterley Suite/Zoom room Four
Victor Olliver moderates plenary panel – The Debate: Is Astrology Magic or Science?
This is the subject of endless debate. The late Geoffery Cornelius argued in his book The Moment of Astrology that horoscope interpretation – whether horary or natal – operates through symbolic and subjective insight at a specific ‘moment’, like the I Ching. Others say that astrology is not ‘magic’ but a mechanical system with repeatable, evidence-based foundations. What do you think? A chance to air your views.

Chisha Doron – AstroArt and the Future of Astrology in the Age of AI Lawrence Suite One/Zoom Room One

It examines why imagination, intuition, and embodied understanding remain central to astrology’s relevance.

Steve Judd – The geometry of the Solar System Lawrence Suite Two/Zoom Room Two
This is a work in progress that has taken much of my time over the last year. I will demonstrate how the position of the planets, their distance from the Sun and their orbital patterns and relationships with each other represent a form of spatial geometry that defies coincidence and suggests that there is order in the solar system and intelligent design. This implies a new relationship with our own astrology, bringing in a more integrated, assimilated and holistic perspective.

Christos Archos – Using Harmonics to Transform Charts for Synastry Lawrence Suite Three/Zoom Room Three
Discover how Harmonic Charts reveal the vibrational quality of relationship compatibility (synastry). Learn to use charts like the 5th (creativity) and 9th (destiny) to uncover subtle resonance and shared purpose.

Tony Howard – Off the Charts: Out of Bounds Planets and the Art of the Impossible Chatterley Suite/Zoom room Four
What does it take to win eight gold medals in a single Olympic Games, shoot 4,772 of 5,000 targets in competition, or rewrite the rules of cinema from the outside in? In this lecture, Tony makes the case that out of bounds planets that venture beyond the Sun’s maximum declination are one of astrology’s stunning signatures for the kind of performance. Drawing on years of research and the birth charts we’ll explore what happens when a planet operates beyond ordinary limits, and the compulsion to find out where the edge actually is and then push past it.

Ronnie Gale Dreyer – Saros and Metonic Cycles: Repeating Lunations and Eclipses Online Speaker/Zoom Room Five
Most people know about the 18-year Saros eclipse cycle and the 19-year Metonic lunation cycle, but do not fully understand their effect in your personal chart and the world. This presentation will show how these cycles work, how to apply them to the past, present and future.

Roy Tseng – Why We Should Stop Defending Astrology through Synchronicity Lawrence Suite Three/Zoom Room Three
Appeals to Jungian theory to legitimise astrology are widespread, a tendency Olav Hammer terms Jungianism. Drawing on Jingchao Zeng’s research, this talk argues that Jung’s synchronicity experiments undermine its astrological use and questions the insecurity that drives astrology’s search for external validation.

Alan Clay – Finding Faith in the Future Amidst Sedna in Gemini and the AI Revolution Chatterley Suite/Zoom Room Four
Our planet of spiritual destiny, Sedna, rules AI. Now in the sign of personal consciousness, she is bringing transcendent crises that teach us to trust in our soul growth. Why last cycle’s Neolithic Revolution can show us how to allow love and transcend to a more spiritual understanding of ourselves.

Michael J. Morris – The Gifts of the Malefics: Mars and Saturn Online Speaker | Zoom Room Five
The ancient tradition designates Mars and Saturn as malefics – “doers of bad”—but how might we understand the challenges of Mars and Saturn – significations such as conflict and grief—as guides toward the worlds for which we long?
