Astrology and Epigenetics
A. T. MannThe spiral solar system in time resonates and exchanges information with our DNA, while it is not an unalterable blueprint, constantly changes as planets trigger key events in your epigenetic early life, affected in their expression by beliefs, emotional patterns, personal growth and other life experiences. Epigenetics is the “science of change” and validates the idea of using conception, early gestation and childhood influences as a foundation of our worldly experiences. Decoding such influences affects how the genes “express” themselves and these patterns are subject to profound changing life influences that we create or attract. Therefore, change is the healthiest condition of life, so track your potential to change in your chart.
Astrology and the Art of Healing
A. T. MannThe 9th—ASC houses describe your early biological development and your inherent health issues, and also what Jung called the “Collective Unconscious.” They are also a pattern of your deeper creativity, sexuality, and psychology—the groundwork for your entire life, and we will discover the nature of this critical stage of our development. This area is also active in cases of autism, as many examples will show.
Your parents’ relationship during your conception, gestation and birth sets a pattern we tend to repeat, often without knowing that we are doing so, or why. Discover how to identify, interpret and use this amazing time in your chart, typically since it isn’t even mentioned or valued in traditional or modern psychological astrology.
From the Unique Masterpiece of an Ottoman Astrologer
Öner DÖŞERSadullah al-Ankarawi who lived in 19th century and in addition to being an astrologer who was a member of the parliament, a poet and a distinguished wise man compiled 10 outstanding astrology books and some sample charts in his 570 pages of masterpiece. Öner Döşer, project manager of translating this masterpiece written in Arabic, Persian and Ottoman Turkish into modern Turkish, will speak about this masterpiece and the specifics of Ottoman Astrology.
Traditional Astrology Delineation Techniques
Öner DÖŞERWhen the astrology students reach a certain level, even if they can read charts, they need a method to use the astrological knowledge they already learnt. Questions like “Where should I begin reading a chart?”, “How should I proceed with the interpretation?”, “How should I integrate the chart data?” All this may be answered correctly if we use a systematical method. Chart reading techniques of Traditional Astrology meet this need. In his speech Öner Döşer will combine traditional astrology and modern astrology, and focus on how these two approaches might be used in a chart reading.
Integrating the Pluto Cycle and Transits - Authenticity and Empowerment
Margaret GrayFrom the first Pluto sextile, to the Pluto square at midlife, as well as the later Pluto trine, this transformational transpersonal planet pulls us into deeper layers of awareness and self-empowerment at each phase of its cycle. Exploring the core themes of this cycle in our personal development and in our relationships, we will also take a look at the significance of Pluto in Capricorn transits to our natal angles and planets.
Superheroes, Detectives, Monsters, and Villains: An Astrological History
Armand DiazFollow the evolution of our most outsized characters, from the 1890’s Neptune/Pluto conjunction to today. In this highly visual presentation you’ll discover how our greatest collective fantasies tell us what we need to know about our hidden realities, showing us what fascinates and frightens us, and what gives us hope.
Eclipses, big conjunctions and Financial Changes in 2020
Hande KazanovaIn this presentation, Hande Kazanova will mention the eclipses in 2020 and huge financial changes that will take place in all over the world.
By the end of the Jupiter-Saturn cycle in earth signs which began in 2000, we will get prepared to a new order and focus on the big picture of give and take balance. As soon as Jupiter, the significator of capitalism, enters Capricorn, four outer planets will be in earth signs.
Would the events of the Solar Eclipse at December 26, 2019 transform the global economic recession into a depression? The results of this eclipse which opposes Jupiter-South Node conjunction which will have great repercussions all over the world.
What will the 2020 prepare us for? In which areas of life, shall we experience some severe experiences and awakenings?
She will be talking about all these issues and impacts of 2020 during her presentation.
Using Astrology to Help Work Through a Breakup
Margaret Gray and Armand DiazRelationship breakups - including romantic, business and creative partnerships, as well as friendships, can be one of the most difficult challenges we face in life. Focusing on the four outer planets, we’ll examine some of the dynamics of breakups and focus on strategies that can help us get through these more challenging times.
Pre – Conferences Workshops
A New Vision of Astrology: Navigating Your Life
A. T. MannTraditional astrology has no inherent timing of the release of planets, so this model provides a guide to the unfolding of events/planets/signs throughout your life in time following the sequence of the houses. The essential events and psychological developments of your life and relationships begin at the 9th cusp (conception), when your mother and father make love to conceive you.
Remember that life is a process in time. Gestation influences as experienced by your mother (9thcusp—ASC) are the collective unconscious, deeply buried, and your birth process (the ASC) is the core of your personality, with aspecting planets being sub-personalities. Your parents' early relationship and the family system into which you are born are primary factors in your personality during childhood that shape who you are and are the foundation upon which subsequent predictive astrology rests. You can date the sequence of your important life events using a transparent time scale and the physical and psychological interpretation of those events is “Your Story.” Through your childhood, into maturity, up to the present and into the future, you are navigating your life*time. Learn how to orient yourself in your life and utilize progressions, solar arcs and transits in a totally different way.
Everyone registering for the workshop will get their chart and list of lifetime arc dates from conception to 99 years old. Bring other charts of family, partners and any other of interest!

Post – Conferences Workshops
Your Guardian Angel
Öner DÖŞEROne of the different techniques of the Medieval Astrology is to determine and to interpret the personal spiritual entity, which is the Guardian Angel or Almuten Figuris with its astrological definition. Indicating the native’s connection with the spiritual world and the conditions which characterize nature of his Guardian Angel, Almuten Figuris signifies his path which leads to spiritual evolution. Öner Döşer will teach how to calculate and find Almuten Figuris in a chart and make some practices on some of the participants’ charts.
This was very interested by the participiants in Xixim, Mexico, OPA Retreat. For my this workshop, I think it would be good for the participiants to know their own Chart Ruler. They can find the ruler of the chart from Solar Fire, Classical, Almuten page.
And as lecture, I am planning to speak about Sufi's, their understanding of Cosology and Astrology. This was also very intereted by the participiants and as topic related with the Guardian Angel topic.
