Webinar - Working with T-squares - Tension & Sparks

MISPA Webinar | Sunday 8 June, 2025
Working with T-squares - Tension & Sparks
10:30am Eastern Time / 3:30pm GMT

The complicated astrological aspect called the “t-square” consists of 3 planets (or more), arranged by two in opposition to each other and the third squaring both planets in the opposition. The angles of the arrangement create a great deal of tension but also the kind of sparks that generate enormous creative potential within the soul.

The meaning of the word “aspect” is rooted in “looking,” “observing,” or “seeing.” In this webinar we will examine how the planets in a “t-square” see each other and interact, both in the natal chart and when activated by transits or and/or progression. Includes many chart examples and tips on working with t-squares, from the 3-planet combination to t-squares with more than 3 planets.

Webinar - The Saturn-Neptune Cycle – Living, Dreaming, Ending, Beginning

MISPA Webinar - Sunday 2 March 2025
The Saturn-Neptune Cycle
10:30am Eastern Time / 3:30pm GMT

In The Red Book, Carl Jung notes, “This tangible and apparent world is one reality, but fantasy is the other reality.” This statement, both simple and complex, is a doorway into understanding the dynamics between Saturn (most aligned with what we call tangible “reality”) and Neptune (most aligned with what we call “fantasy,” or psychic reality, or imagination).

In the Spring of 2025, both Saturn and Neptune begin their move into the sign Aries, which marks the end of the current Saturn-Neptune cycle that began in 1989 in Capricorn and officially ends in February of 2026 when both planets conjoin at 0° Aries. This move into the start of a new Saturn-Neptune cycle is particularly important because 0° Aries is also the start of the entire zodiac.

This webinar explores the Saturn-Neptune cycle in depth, starting with the stark difference between the two planets, and then focusing on this current cycle, while also opening up the archetypal nature of the cycle in general – historically, culturally, artistically, psychologically, mythologically, and astrologically. Lastly, we’ll look at the unique and profound opportunity presented by both planets in the Mars-ruled, fiery sign of Aries, at the start of the zodiac, keeping in mind that Neptune in Aries is new to us all, given its almost 165-year orbit.

Webinar - Saturn & the Outer Planets - Encountering Larger Realities

Saturn & the Outer Planets - Encountering Larger Realities
Saturday November 16, 2024 - 8pm Eastern Time
Hosted by The Astrology Collective (based in Perth, Australia)

One of Saturn’s essential archetypal roles in our lives (and in our charts) is to set limits. Traditional astrology tells us that Saturn rules over prisons. When imposed on us from the outside world, limits can often feel confining and oppressive – like a prison. Paradoxically, limits can also feel liberating – like knowing when enough is enough, saying “no,” setting a boundary.

Saturn is also the planet we most associate with “reality.” Distinguishing and navigating between inner and outer realities (plural) via Saturn becomes increasingly challenging (and increasingly important) when Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto engage with Saturn. Limits and boundaries mingle and merge with larger realities like revolution and eternity. New possibilities and potentials emerge, activating imagination.

This webinar explores the rather complex archetypal relationship between Saturn and the outer planets, individually and collectively, via the arts and culture. Features numerous chart examples showing Saturn in aspect to outer planets, as well as transits of the outer planets to natal Saturn.
