Track 1a: Those Who Inspired Us
Track 1b: Following the Golden Thread

In 2023, the Faculty of Astrological Studies celebrates its 75th anniversary. For this special occasion, we have created a track to honour people whose dedication and work in the field of astrology has influenced our modern approach to the subject. Track 1a presents the life and horoscopes of ten significant individuals, presented in chronological order. We start in the fifteenth century with Marsilio Ficino, followed by William Lilly (seventeenth century) and Alan Leo (nineteenth and early twentieth centuries), moving on to C.G. Jung, Dane Rudhyar, James Hillman, Charles Carter, Margaret Hone, Charles Harvey and Liz Greene. Track 1b presents the application of their knowledge, including other significant techniques compatible with astrology, such as the use of theosophical principles, active imagination and soul work.

Track 2: The Astrology of the Family

From the concepts of soul and fate in relation to the family, to family systems, myths and patterns, we will observe the family in general. In particular, fractures in the family; the relationships between siblings, parents and children will be discussed and examined. Different types of family relationships will be explored, starting with the traditional nuclear family, moving on to the way in which we create our own family within a circle of friends and then to modern forms of family relationships, including the complexities created by surrogate pregnancies. Finally, family composite charts show how the family is likely to relate to the rest of the world and how individual members relate to the family unit as a whole.

Track 3: Astrological Techniques

The use of various astrological techniques will be the theme of this track. Through transits we will explore how life looks to us before and after our experience of the first Saturn return. We will take a close look at how we can navigate the next few years, when four slowmoving planets will change signs. Myth, meaning and the symbolism of eclipses will be correlated with the current eclipse cycles. During Summer School, Venus will be retrograde and Mercury will begin its retrograde motion, and these movements will be analysed in depth. There will also be the opportunity to explore other techniques, such as the use of the graphic ephemeris, midpoints and the interpetation of minor aspects. Towards the end of this track, the eyes will be oriented upwards: towards the fixed stars.
