Personal Points and Great Circles by Gary Christen
Monday, November 14, 2011 at 7:00 pm, Portsmouth, New Hampshire
This is a talk about the Personal Points as used in Symmetrical Astrology. We derive these points from planets and Great Circles and how they all interact. By seeing how they are constructed in the celestial sphere we all will gain a greater understanding of any form of astrology. This approach will unlock a deeper meaning of how character and destiny unfold in a life and connect your astrology directly to the heavens by understanding the celestial planes that it is all built on.
The talk will also focus on use of the Personal Points to provide a framework to interpret any kind of horoscope from deep natal work to electionals and mundane work. You will learn where to look where we see the deeper sides of the native's inner life and outlook. How we all fit into this world is revealed through various levels of connection and the principles that underlie these ideas.
Designed for all levels of astrologers (beginner to professional), Gary will add to your toolbox of astrological abilities methods for organizing your work and creating a hierarchy of concepts and symbols making you a better astrologer.

Where in the World Will I Find...? takes a down-to-earth look at the art of astro-locality and helps to uncover how to find the best locations for personal fulfillment, career, relationships, etc. It includes fascinating examples from the chars of the famous and the infamous. The concepts of planet angularity including the meanings of planets on angle will be covered. We will also examine the concept of parans (simultaneous angularity), the importance of which is often overlooked. Local space lines will also be described and we will use them in conjunction with the planet lines in our examples.
During The Symmetry of Locality: Astro*Carto*Graphy and Beyond you will learn how to integrate planetary pictures and hypothetical planets into Jim Lewis' traditional methods. We'll explore new techniques that expand on the concept of oblique positions, the foundation of Jim's work in astro-locality. Midpoints, planetary pictures, and parans will be explored from both a natal and dynamic perspective. Madalyn will also introduce the cutting edge concept of a "paran clock." This talk guides you to a new understanding of locality techniques and helps you to integrate them into your work.
