Vernon Robinson

Echoes Through Time: The Astrology Chart of the First Slave Ship, the White Lion in the U.S.

The astrology chart of the first slave ship, The White Lion in the United States has meaning in regards to African-Americans in the United States. This chart also has important astrological synastry connections to the United States' astrology chart as well as other important historical events in the U.S. including the U.S. Constitution, the Civil War and the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s. There are also astrological synastry connections with historical African-Americans such as Fredrick Douglass, W.E.B. DuBois, Ida B. Wells, Dr. Martin Luther King and Angela Davis.

Come hear about how the chart of this ship from almost 400 years ago still has significance in the United States. Vernon Robinson will discuss the history of the White Lion landing in America, the meaning of the astrological chart of the landing and the various synastry connections that can be seen over time.

Stephanie Soibelman

The Powerful Hidden Power of Accidental Dignity

Before looking at the planetary aspects, an astrologer must learn the Essential Dignities. The Essential Dignities reveal the planet’s strength to perform its functions and fulfill its agenda. We must also know what Accidental Dignity is, and why it is critical in chart delineation. Accidental Dignity is used to determine if a planet has full access to it essential nature or not. Stephanie will teach a quick and easy technique to make use of this often forgotten system. Without using these interpretive tools, the astrologer is missing a great deal of hidden information which can easily be overlooked.
