Why We Choose Our Family From An Evolutionary Point Of View
This presentation will focus on the dynamics within the natal chart that reflect why we choose our early childhood conditions, including our biological family, from an evolutionary point of view. Astrologically speaking, the Moon/4th house/ Cancer archetype symbolizes the nature of our early childhood environment, and our childhood emotional “imprint" whereas the Saturn/10th house/Capricorn reflects how we are “conditioned” by our overall environment, and how we establish a personal voice of authority in the world. The presentation will emphasize how our early childhood conditions serve to facilitate, or trigger, the core evolutionary intentions of the Soul indicated in the natal chart relative to the “Pluto Paradigm.”
Beginning to study astrology in 1998, Bradley dove into JWG Evolutionary Astrology in 2009 and has continued to use and practice the JWG EA paradigm as part of daily life.

Planet Sign House
Synthesis in EA
Sometimes going back to the basics is the exact dose of medicine we need. We have all likely had those moments when we experience a massive breakthrough in grasping the core meaning of one of our planets in its house and sign; suddenly it is so obvious and clear, and we fall in love with astrology for the gifts received. In this talk Bradley will take us through the basics of planet sign house synthesis from an EA perspective, with a handful of diverse chart examples. These teachings will be an opportunity to get grounded in and strengthen our basic synthesis skills
Steve has been on a conscious path of growth since age 15, seeking at first to understand himself. Gradually he connected with a deep yearning to assist and support others on their sometimes perilous journey of being human. It was at a time of major change in his life, a few years after Pluto completed crossing his ascendant, that he discovered Jeffrey Wolf Green and Evolutionary Astrology. They spoke deeply to him at a time when he was seeking the next direction in his life. That chapter has now been going on for over 20 years. In recent years, Steve’s focus on applying EA’s insights to his own emotional healing has grown. Where appropriate, he shares from his experiences of grounding and integrating EA’s wisdom into living the challenges and potentials of a human life.

The Pluto Process – before the rebirth - Involution
What we call Evolution has two stages. Both together are the Pluto process of evolutionary growth and change – death/rebirth. EA calls the first stage Involution. What has been, who I see myself as, what’s familiar in life, seems to be fading away. Pieces of my life start crumbling. It’s quite common to experience this stage as emotionally difficult. Involution is a stripping away of What Has Been, creating space for What Will Be, what comes next. Our culture doesn’t offer much guidance on Being With the difficult times that precede the approaching New. Involution is like a harsh Winter. Spring seems far, far away. Yet gradually and inevitably, the vibrant new Spring approaches, and we have made it through another long Winter and the new growth gradually reveals itself. Steve will discuss recognizing, dealing with, and surviving, Involution, correlating charts with actual events that occurred in people’s lives during Involution.

Embracing Change: Navigating Uranus Transits in Evolutionary Astrology
Uranus correlates to sudden changes and liberation, revealing how our soul's past and present journeys intersect and reflect the continuation of our evolution into the future.
In this talk Simon will teach how to connect to and understand the transformative potential of your soul's evolution by studying the natal house that Uranus is transiting, along with the aspects that transiting Uranus forms to planets in your natal chart. Additionally, he will discuss how transiting Uranus is evolving through its planetary north and south nodes by examining the house and sign, the location of the planetary rulers, and the aspects they form with other planets in the natal chart. This exploration will demonstrate how Uranus's nature is evolving our individual and collective reality through the past, present, and future.
Lastly, Simon will illustrate how Uranus's evolutionary cycle will manifest through collective and individual examples directly linked to the EA Pluto paradigm, emphasizing how Uranus' transits point back to the core Pluto paradigm.

Pluto Transits:
Facing Our Shadow
Inevitably, we are called to face our shadow, to eliminate worn-out modes of behavior that no longer serve our soul, and our growth. These profound transitional times are reflected in the transit of Pluto, and move us forward whether we are ready or not. Laura will detail this powerful transit and not only present grounded methodologies, but strategies for making our way through the dark, and finding our way to the other side, feeling more empowered.

12th house: Confusion and spiritual vs pathological sacrifice
The 12th house is the last house of the zodiac and encompasses all other archetypes within it. It points to the soul's relationship with ultimate meaning, as well as how meaning can be displaced onto what is essentially meaningless. Thus, confusion about what is real or not real, the purpose of our own existence, how we relate to that which is beyond our own control, and issues of spiritual sacrifice vs pathological sacrifice are areas of learning emphasized in the 12th house. In this talk Timothy Halloran will teach how this final house brings to light the most mysterious, hidden and unfathomable facets of our lives using historic case studies to explore the themes of confusion, disillusionment and the dichotomy of spiritual vs pathological sacrifice. In each chart he will focus on these 12th house dynamics in the context of the Evolutionary Astrology Pluto paradigm.

Can You Hear Me Now? Recovering Our Inner Voice,
Our Personal Truths, and the Courage to Speak
Have you ever been silenced or experienced the feeling of not being heard? This wound can run deep and permeate every area of life, especially as this impacts our confidence and ability to advocate for ourselves on the Soul's journey.
In this lecture, Jordyn will share an overview of the myth of Cassandra and correlate that myth to the archetypal themes of asteroid Kassandra (114) in the natal chart. Jordyn will demonstrate how the archetypal themes and dynamics of Cassandra's mythology point towards how the Soul can empower itself by way of recovering one’s own inner voice, personal truths, inner knowledge and the courage to speak. These themes are not only revealed when exploring the asteroid Kassandra and her nodes, but also with the inclusion of Venus and Mercury which both weave into the story of Kassandra in the natal chart through the lens of Evolutionary Astrology.

Evolutionary Astrology and
Sexual Healing
In this lecture, we’ll explore how Mars, Venus, and their planetary nodes can help us understand deep soul dynamics involved in both challenging sexual experiences such as trauma, shame, and compulsion; as well as in positive sexual experiences such as exploration, fantasy, and pleasure. As well, we will explore how skillful sharing of EA can support sexual healing and transformation in a way that reduces shame and increases creativity and spontaneity; and how conscious sexuality and sexual expression can bring us into a deeper and more embodied relationship with the deepest desires of our souls.

Mars: Evolving the Fire of Your Soul’s Desire
Mars represents how you identify and instinctually act upon the desires emanating from your Soul. For this reason, Mars is referred to as the lower octave of Pluto, as Pluto transmits to Mars via your instinct the desires that reflect your Soul's need to evolve itself in new ways. The South Node of Mars correlates to past life desires being brought forward into the current life to be actualized in new ways via the natal placement of Mars and its North Node. The North Node of Mars symbolizes how the ongoing desires of Pluto via Mars will continue to be actualized in the future. Planets in Aries also symbolize the desire to blaze new trails and they are connected like a web to the natal Mars and its North Node. The sign on the Ascendent, the location of its planetary ruler, and where the sign Aries lands in your natal chart are all woven within the web of desires from your Soul that manifest through the Mars archetype and point to how your Soul is leading itself forward.
In this talk, Kristin will share how to map the Soul’s evolving desires via the Mars/Aries archetype through the lens of the Pluto paradigm, illustrating the teachings with charts at various stages of evolution. She will also offer insights into the evolutionary significance of the approaching Mars retrograde transit that initiates on Dec. 6, 2024, which will bring to light unresolved desires within the Soul so personal evolution can proceed.

Venus: Tending the
Inner Garden of the Soul
Venus, as ruler of Libra, corresponds to our essential relationship needs and the kinds of relational experiences we attract in our lives. It is however our fundamental inner relationship to ourselves that is the essence of the external relationship experiences that we experience. As Jeffrey Wolf Green wrote in Pluto Volume II, "Whom we attract into our lives are symbols of our inner reality. We project outwards that which is a reflection of our inner reality." This is reflected in the inner dimension of Venus: our inner relationship to our-self; how to listen to and tend to our own inner feelings and essential needs. In this talk, Ari will offer a deep analysis of Venus, and by extension the position of Taurus and the 2nd house in the natal chart, as well as the south and north nodes of Venus, as it reflects the soul's need to establish self-value, self-esteem and to cultivate a healthy relationship with itself; to tend to the garden of the Soul from within. These teachings will be understood relative to the core Pluto paradigm with respect to understanding what the soul's relationship to itself has been, is, and how it is meant to evolve due to evolutionary necessity.

Health Crises as an Evolutionary Catalyst and the Path to Healing
In 2020 Bess fell very sick. She went on medical leave because she was no longer able to function at work and her doctors were unable to determine what was wrong. She was only in her 30’s and bedridden most days, she had pretty much come to terms with the fact that she was going to die. Fortunately, it was at that time that she encountered an Evolutionary Astrologer who was able to determine the root cause of her illness, and it changed her life. In this talk, Bess will utilize the case study of a couple of natal charts, along with their transits, of people who experienced a health crisis as a catalyst to their soul-evolution. She will analyze these charts with respect to the Pluto paradigm in order to assess why each soul experienced the particular illness that they did and for what evolutionary reasons.

Karma Yoga & the Soul's Right Work
Our social purpose, work/career and how we are to sustain and support ourselves in this life can be seen through the natural Earth Trinity in the birth chart (2nd house/Taurus/Venus, 6th house/Virgo/Mercury and the 10th house/Capricorn/Saturn). Whatever signs we find on these house cusps, the location of the planetary rulers and planets in these houses, as well as the aspects they make to other planets, will reflect the Soul's evolutionary intentions relative to “Right Work" and ""Karma Yoga”.
The type of work that any Soul is drawn to will reflect the evolutionary state they are in and as well as their inherent gifts they are born with and ways they can make a positive difference in the world. Essentially, doing one’s ‘Right Work', is a function of being in alignment with what the Soul can do and making the choices necessary to do that relative to its evolutionary state of consciousness. When we are doing our 'Karma Yoga' we are inwardly being guided by the Source of all things to be in service to something greater. The Soul consciously knows when it is inwardly being directed by God versus being driven by the Ego.
In this lecture, we will explore the natural Earth houses to identify the Soul's "Right Work" as well as the "Karma Yoga" that allows each individual Soul to contribute to the evolving larger whole.

Mapping your Soul’s
Intention
for Evolution:
The Secondary
Progressed Chart
The natal chart reflects the intersection between the soul’s past and intended direction forward. Transits act as triggers for the experiential track whereas the secondary progressed chart reflects the pacing and evolution of the subjective consciousness of the soul in the unfolding of life experience. Secondary Progressions also provide a map of the ground the soul aims to visit over a single lifetime. Join Rose for her lecture on how to use the secondary progressed chart to fill in more of the story regarding the soul’s intention for this life’s journey

Unveiling the Psyche: Exploring Karma, Trauma, and the Soul's Journey through Evolutionary Astrology
An Evolutionary Chart reading is never merely about planetary alignments; it's a profound exploration of the soul's path across lifetimes. As Evolutionary Astrologers we venture into deep and sometimes delicate territory. In order to successfully guide our clients towards self-awareness and healing, it’s crucial to have a map of the terrain. This lecture will help you to further understand the structure of the human psyche, the psychology of the soul and the nuanced dynamics of karma.
Patricia will illuminate the workings of psychological complexes and how the soul carries them from past lives into the present, and the potential for evolution inherent within them. She will also discuss the dynamics of trauma and its profound impact on the psyche. By understanding the interplay between past trauma, psychological defenses, and present experiences, we can offer compassionate support and guidance to our clients on their evolutionary journey towards wholeness.
