Recordings of the 4th Real Astrology Intensive

held in June 2010 in Regensburg, Germany

We are delighted to announce that the recordings of John Frawley’s Fixed Star Intensive, given in Regensburg in 2010, are now available.

The set consists of 12 CDs, containing over 12 hours of lectures, and a 13th disc with all the charts and an index.

John writes:

‘The keynote of my natal teaching is ‘astrology without textbooks’. It is my belief that astrology cannot be seriously practiced by constantly referring to books or by quoting snippets from books that have lodged in the memory – but only by truly owning the knowledge ourselves. To do this, it is necessary to build that knowledge from an understanding of the basic principles. With the fixed stars, this means understanding their effects by understanding the myths that the constellations embody. As the many chart examples here demonstrate, it is remarkable how literally these myths are lived out in the life.

‘In these lectures, I teach how to understand myth by learning a method of thinking that not only illuminates our astrology, but also our engagement with art, literature and scripture. I discuss the meaning of most of the major constellations in detail; but the important thing is that once you know these simple principles, you have the tools to work the rest out for yourself.
‘The working of these principles is illustrated with a wide range of chart examples, many dealt with in greater depth than I have ever presented a chart before – which I am confident means in greater depth than you have heard anyone present a chart before. These are mostly nativities, but also include a detailed study of the Lisbon earthquake (showing exactly what Neptune does mean in a chart!) and the careers of two ships cursed with a bad name.

‘The fixed stars do not, of course, exist in isolation, so these chart examples show a full range of techniques for reading the natal chart and locating events in the life. I put a particular emphasis on planetary movement in the birthchart, and how very simply this can tell us so much about the native, and two techniques which, to the best of my knowledge, you will not find elsewhere. These are Natal Arc Parts, which speak so eloquently about the deeper reaches of the nature, and Derived Lunar Returns, which will astonish you with their exact precision.’

The lectures are also a lot of fun.

The price of this set is 250 euros, which includes postage. To order, write to Kata Varga at kata@csend.hu. She will provide details of payment. Please, include your postal address.
