Using Keywords to Enhance Reading a Chart” by Leighton Haverty of Dallas

Leighton’s talk is about using keywords as solid basis for a reading. She will show some sample charts as a demonstration of how to effectively use this technique. As a teaching tool, it gives you ideas on how to get a picture of what’s going on and do it with great simplicity and clarity.

January 13, 2013

We will have chart discussions:

Sylvia Dunton will start with an event chart she wants to share and get input on. Then we’ll look at the chart for the US Congressional vote on the Fiscal Cliff on Jan 1, 1:17 am, Washington, DC. Look it up and join in the discussion.

Leighton Haverty of Dallas

“Keywords–Their Importance in Reading”

Leighton will be talking about using keywords in chart interpretation as a grounding in a reading. She loves to answer questions, so she will open the floor to your questions, not by reading the attendee’s charts per se, but to answer questions on how to read one or on aspects, and help clarify astrological matters that you may not understand.

Leighton Haverty is a co-founder of  the Dallas Association of Astrologers (DAA) and comes from a background of 40 years as a practicing astrologer. Her experience includes daily forecasts for radio stations both in Dallas and Shreveport, LA, had her own TV show “Astrology Now” on cable TV in Louisiana, and she has had several articles published. One of her “fun” predictions appeared in  the Shreveport newspaper in 1979 in which her reading for the City of Shreveport noted that water would play an important part in its economy. It turned out to be the casino boats! A crusader for the cause of astrology, she had to sue Bossier City for the right to practice astrology there. She won the lawsuit which effectively struck a law from their books dating from the 1800s. She is available for readings. Be sure and pick up her business card.

The Morin Method

Donna Henson, prominent Fort Worth astrologer and author, will be presenting the Morin Method, a system of interpreting a natal chart based on the work of a Medieval Astrologer known Jean Baptiste Morin and a book by Dallas Astrologer Patti Tobin.

Wikipedia says of Morin: “At least among English-speaking astrologers, Morin is known as having been particularly concerned with prediction through methodical extrapolation of what is promised in the natal chart. His techniques were directions, solar and lunar returns, and he regarded transits as a subsidiary technique, though one key to accurate timing of events.

Morin challenged much of classical astrological theory, including the astrology of Ptolemy, in an attempt to present a solid set of tools while rendering reasons for and against particular techniques, some of which may be considered crucial to many astrologers before and during Morin?s lifetime. At the same time, Morin vested himself heavily in promoting in mundo directions, a technique largely based on the work of Regiomontanus that became available thanks to then-recent advancement in mathematics. In his work, Morin provides examples of successful delineation of events that otherwise could not be delineated with the same relative degree of certainty.”

DONNA HENSON is a professional astrologer, lecturer, counselor, and author who has worked with astrology since the age of ten.  She taught astrology at Tarrant County College for years and teaches astrology classes in her home.

An active member of the Astrological Society of North Texas (ASNT) , Donna held most board positions, and served five terms as president. She is a member of and holds certification from the American Federation of Astrologers (AFA), as well as National Council of Geocosmic Research (NCGR), gaining their Level IV professional certification. She has been a convention lecturer for both groups. She also holds a CPA from the International Society of Astrological Research (ISAR).

Donna?s books include Degrees of the Zodiac, Vertex: The Third Angle, and Index of Today?s Astrologer.  She has a bachelor?s degree from TCU and a master?s degree from NTSU.  After 27 years of teaching in the secondary schools, she has devoted full time to astrology since 1990.

Astrologers Kaye Coffey and Mira Cosic will field questions about attendee’s charts, one question per person until all have had a chance. Bring your chart data (birth date, time and place) so your chart can be uploaded for the projector. All astrologers welcome to add comments, also.

Kaye Coffey has been a student and working Astrologer since the 1970′s. Living in Columbia, Missouri in the 1975 she found herself in a synchronistic and fortunate situation to meet Bill Herbst, who became her mentor and teacher. She was also able to attend workshops with Rob Hand and Barbara Hand Clow. She learned from some of the best, who also encouraged her to take her solid grounding in astrological knowledge and work that with her intuitive abilities. It is a bit different than most traditional astrological sessions, but it has worked well for her. Moving to Austin, Texas in 1980 she developed a thriving astrological practice. She is now living in Dallas and has incorporated Tarot into her sessions.

Mira Cosic DeShazer has been practicing astrology since 1987. Originally from Bosnia where she hosted astrological radio shows for six years including several years of war when Sarajevo was under siege, Mira was on the forefront of opening the newly free Bosnia to new age ideas writing a daily metaphysical column for major Bosnian national newspaper.

After moving to the US, Mira developed expertise in various areas of astrology, focusing on evolutionary and spiritual astrology. She gave talks for ASNT and ISAR.Mira currently owns an e-magazine and provides video podcasts on astrology and spirituality for her web sites SpiritualEnthusiast.com and AstrologyEnthusiast.com

True to her Cancer Sun and Uranus, Jupiter and Pluto on her Ascendant, her counseling is both unique and sensitive, directed towards inner healing and evolution of the soul.

April meeting will be held the 4th Sunday – April 22

Speaker – Thaddeus Fenner

The Four Pillars of Destiny or Ba Zi (aka Tzu Ping astrology) is the natural extension of the interface between the Chinese concept of cosmic energy or “heaven” (expressed as “stems,” the yin and yang of the 5 elements) and the Earthly Branches, commonly known as the Chinese Animal Signs. The Four Pillars are the branches and stems of the hour, day, month and year that a person is born. In China, the Ba Zi chart is traditionally viewed alongside the Zi Wei Dou Shu chart or “

Purple Rose Calculation” but we can do the same here in the west with Four Pillar analysis alongside traditional western charts. Four Pillar analysis can, in simple terms, tell us the essential nature of a person as well as their family and career prospects. We can also use it to forecast into the future important turning points in a person’s life.

Learning the Four Pillar basics is a very small investment that will undoubtedly aid the western astrologer in better understanding clients’ charts.

Reading Between the Signs 

by John Cappello, Psychic Medium

John’s intriguing presentation will focus on psychic abilities and astrology.  He  will discuss the unique gifts of each sign and planetary aspects that enhance psychic energy.  Reading an astrological chart and sensing the influence of the aspects within it enables the astrologer to determine the psychic perspective of the native. Other factors regarding planetary placements in the houses will be explored with regard to the ability to capture information from “beyond the physical.”

1:15p-3:30p – Stacy’s Furniture – Grapevine, TX

THE END OF THE WORLD IS NEAR!  (AGAIN)

After an enormously eventful year, 2011, we can’t help but wonder what 2012 will be like. What do scientists say about the Mayan calendar, (which some people think of as a prediction of the end of the world on December 21, 2012) and what does astrology indicate about the same time period? We will explore two rays of hope in the coming astrological line up for 2012.

After a look at what is happening for ASNT in 2012 and what is in store for the royal couple that married this year, Kate and William, we get to the big questions: who will win the Presidential election, and what will happen to our gridlocked Congress as two ideologies clash?

Donna will finish in time to open the floor to a brief discussion of the points raised.
