The Blast Astrology Conference« on: 04.04.2007 at 18:25 [UT+1] »Hello All,
I just found out about this forum,, how cool.
Did anyone here make it to The Blast Astrology conference in Sedona this past weekend?
I was fortunate to have spoken there. Wow!,, what a great experience.
What was the most inspiring to me was the sharing of information across systems and cultures. I was fortunate
to be only one of three Vedic astrologers to present there - the other being Dennis Harness and Kenneth miller.
No silly competitions or challenges, just open minds communicating about astrology, dignifying it as a science,art and metaphoric language.
Personally, I was honored to meet Rob Hand, Demetra George, Ray Merriman, Hank Friedman and somebrilliant up and coming talented astrologers and hungry, devoted students.
Here is a webpage that has the class outline for what i taught. "Moon Yogas" was the subject.
www.sfyoga.net/blast-handout2.htm - this actually has a link to the full 4 page PDF file, which is morecomprehensive than my BLAST presentation.
Check that out also if you are interested.
In my opinion the future of astrology is in great hands, especially Western astrology - I was able to spend a lotof time with the main players involved with project hindsight, the creator of the "Delphic Oracle" software.. Itell ya, if i was not already so far into vedic astrology, i would shift right now.
Those of you interested in the scientific, accurate methodology should look into this.
Science and Spirituality are one. Astrology is a great bridge between the two. Don't ever let anyone confuse
you with a false choice between the two.
best wishes.,
Sam Geppi

know, the creator of the conference as well as many speakers are frequent participants of discussions over at
the MySpace Horoscopic Astrology forum. They all seem very much tuned into the technical work of astrology,
timing, predictions, etc. I am an evolutionary astrologer, and my philosophies and application of astrology

Gender:focus more along the Alan Leo-Dane Rhudyar-Stephen Arroyo/Liz Green-Steven Forrest/Jeff Green sort of track.
I was wondering if you had a feeling for whether or not the sort of spiritual and counseling work possible withastrology had a place at the Blast or if it was more about the Hellenistic/Project Hindsight technical kind ofangles?
thanks!

Hey there. I sat next to you around th fire pit. I sat between you and Paul Reader as you discussed malas.
I enjoyed your talk on Moon Yogas. I wish you had more time. I purchased your CD and have looked at a few
things. Do you have a table of contents for the CD? I like your voice and find your lessons easy to follow.

Amy,Regarding the Blast, I listened to all of the lectures and they weren't just Project Hindsight and Hellenistic.
There were so MANY great lectures. I can honestly say I learned something from every one of them. What madeit so great was being able to see all the speakers and there was diversity among the lectures. I am sure there isa place for lectures on spiritual and counseling astrology.
Personally I cannot wait for the next one.

But there was definitely a counseling / evolutionary angle
represented there.
The term "evolutionary astrology" has always been a bit curious to me. As vedic astrology is very much about
the evolving soul in the world.. how all of those things come together.
Everything is evolutionary, per se.
