We are please to announce that our prime author, Joe Landwehr, will be giving three talks at two major astrology conferences (Midwest Astrology and ISAR) during 2009.
Christ and a cockroach born under the manger at the time of Christ’s birth would share the same birthchart, yet an interpretation of these two identical charts must be vastly different. How you experience your birthchart depends not only upon the chart, but also the consciousness that you bring to it. This lecture, based on the author’s book of the same name, will discuss how consciousness can be integrated into your exploration of the birthchart, through a synthesis of astrology and the chakra system.
According the pre-eminent psychologist, Carl Jung, the shadow is the guardian of the threshold to the soul’s journey toward wholeness. In this lecture, we will explore the shadow from an astrological perspective, discussing where and how it appears in the houses, signs, and planetary dynamics of the birthchart, and how you can track your relationship to it through a lifetime of experience.
Many in the astrological community seek acceptance by the scientific world. But there are sound philosophical reasons why astrology cannot rightfully be considered a science, and should more accurately be understood as a language of symbolic logic. As a symbolic language, astrology is a way of knowing different than and complementary to science. This lecture will explore this vision of astrology, and outline the advantages to be had in presenting ourselves in this way.

Why Astrology Is Not a Science
Many in the astrological community seek acceptance by the scientific world. But there are sound philosophical reasons why astrology cannot rightfully be considered a science, and should more accurately be understood as a language of symbolic logic. As a symbolic language, astrology is a way of knowing different than and complementary to science. This lecture will explore this vision of astrology, and outline the advantages to be had in presenting ourselves in this way.
