Monday Nov 16th 2009 - Chris Largent
"Is astrology, when describing patterns of personality and future trends, fatalistic? Do astrologers assume that some events are just fated? And are these caused by some notion of past-life karma? Or is there another way to think about the destinies of individuals and communities?’ This alternative was the focus of our show.
Chris Largent has taught university-level philosophy and comparative religion for nearly forty years, lectured all over the
He is also co-author of The Soul of Economies: Spiritual Evolution Goes to the Marketplace, The Paradigm Conspiracy: Why Our Social Systems Violate Our Human Potential and How We Can Change Them, and Love, Soul, and Freedom: Dancing with Rumi on the Mystic Path and contributor to several other books.

"I originally encountered astrology in the late 60's but didn't start serious study until 1975. Later in college I advanced in rank to obtain Hornbeck scholar status from the Project uncovered several techniques that did not exist in any software so I took it upon myself to develop software for these methods. The first was Zodiacal Aphesis (now called Zodiacal Releasing) in 1997, the second was Timaeus which was a pilot test for the latest program to come which is Delphic Oracle."

Dec 28th - Wendy Ashley: Mythic Astrologer
Wendy Ashley is a Mythic Astrologer - which means that she uses the horoscope as well as a remembered childhood experience to uncover that one myth that is a metaphoric parallel to her client’s life. She struggles to help individuals see how the elements of that myth are evident in the situations and persons who are central to one’s life She does not use the Gods and Goddesses as metaphors for elements of the psychology of my client. In her view she thinks that usage has diminished astrology’s value and use Wendy started her studies like everyone else with a study of what is called “traditional” astrology, but which she now calls “conventional Western psychological astrology.”
Wendy finds it significant that there is evidence that the Zodiac was not invented in the
On her website, she shares “I know I can never learn all that there is to know of myth and the sky and astrology -- but I keep at it. Today I have students who are aching to know how to discover which of the gods or goddesses has us in his or her grip.”
Every Summer Wendy holds a week long course on her mythic astrology.
I’m pleased to have Carol Tebbs with us. Carol is an astrologer, teacher, lecturer and writer. She is a Kepler College Board member and ISAR board member where she has also served as President.
Carol is also the author of The Complete Book of Chart Rectification. Carol will share with us on Chart Rectification. Prior to the mid-20th century, it was common to round-off birth times to the nearest quarter hour, which can mean that the angles and cusps of the chart may be off by 4 degrees or more leading to an entirely different chart interpretation.
After doing ‘family footwork’ to clarify actual birth time, an astrologer can ask for 10-12 dates of important life events such as family deaths, job changes, marriages, illnesses, etc. to derive a birth time that more closely aligns the events with the astrological indicators. In addition, there is software that aid in the rectification search. With work and attention, an astrologer can create a reliable birth chart forever for interpretive and forecasting purposes.
Lynn has so graciously consented to be a regular guest on the program every month and with this in mind, we are asking our listeners to send the medical topics that they would like further information on to either Lynn at koiner@starpower.net or to jacquimenkes@gmail.com
