Psychological Astrology may be described as archetypally predictive.
Specific planetary configurations serve to constellate certain archetypal dynamics. These may appear as our fate, and as lessons we need to learn. In Eastern mysticism, these archetypal challenges are described as our karma.
In this session, we will look at the influences of the major outer planets as they approach, cross over, and return to the placements of the natal chart.

- Develop your ESP – Tapping the Wisdom of one’s Deeper MindSchool of Self Potential, Newtown
Develop your ESP by tapping into the Alpha & Theta levels of your mind.
There are multiple levels of consciousness. We may be sharp and focused or asleep and completely unaware. We may also be in an altered or dream state, or an imaginative or reflective mindset.
These mental states correspond with different brainwave levels. Our normal waking awareness is characterised by Beta waves. In ‘Beta’, we are aware and cognisant of our environment.
When we concentrate, such as when we need to solve a problem, the frequency of our brainwaves increases. We enter ‘Gamma’ state.
If we relax, however, our brainwaves slow down. We enter an Alpha-level.
Typically, we fall asleep. If, however, we train ourselves to both relax and remain focussed, this alpha level offers us the ability to visualise using the mind’s eye. The daydreams and vivid imagination we had as children is this Alpha-level.Slower still, we lose our focus and fall asleep. But here, in Theta, we open to the inner world of our dreams.
As we lose our conscious focus, we open to another intelligence.
Far from pointless, we know that dreams are a source of wisdom. Shamans and prophets have always drawn upon their dreams. Depth psychologists, such as Freud and Jung, turned to dreams for healing and insight into the personality. Dreams have also been instrumental in scientific discoveries. On occasion, they will even provide a glimpse into the future!
Unfortunately, when we dream, we are barely conscious. Many people will have only a vague recollection of their dream material.
It is possible, however, to be both conscious and open to our deeper mental states.
Practice is required.
Once we do bridge our Beta mind with either Alpha or Theta states, we tap into a number of faculties. These include:
- Increased Intuitive Perception
- Greater Self-Awareness
- Clearer Purpose & Calling
- Heightened Creativity
In this session, we will explore the various levels of consciousness and introduce some tools and techniques for tapping into the wisdom of deeper psychic states.
Caffeine-Free Class
In terms of entering a slower set of brain waves, caffeine has the reverse effect (Caffeine induces Gamma brain wave levels). To benefit from this session, please abstain from coffee and other caffeinated products in the lead-up to attending this session.Cost: $25
