Michele Love
Black Moon Lilith
Black Moon Lilith is not a physical object. It is a very intriguing astronomical point. Given that the Ascendant is also an astronomical point and the tropical zodiac also begins at an astronomical point, we already place great emphasis on the importance of critical important astronomical points. Black Moon Lilith is an extremely intriguing point in the sky and many astrologers claim that Black Moon Lilith reveals deep emotional drives. These astrologers also believe that claiming and "owning" these drives liberates us. Using the power of 21st century information systems, hundreds of hours of careful research and the support of a research team, Michele shows us what she has discovered about the astrological significance of Black Moon Lilith.

Fei Cochrane
Prime number Vibrations 83, 89, 97, 101, 167
Prime numbers are like the building blocks of all numbers. Prime numbers give the essential qualities upon which all astrological vibrations are built. Each prime number is like an element in the periodic table of elements which all things are made of. We now know that vibrations up into the 400s and 500s are important so we need to understand the higher prime numbers as well. From hundreds of hours of careful research using the principles of modern research designs and the help of the research team, Fei shares with us what has been learned about the meaning of Vibrations 83, 89, 97, 101 and 167. You can look at these vibrational charts for yourself and see how they are affecting your life.

Starlene Breiter
How People "Lose It" and go rogue in the worst way . . . and how to heal it.
What motivates a person to lose their way in life to such an extreme point that they would murder someone or get involved in other horrific and destructive behavior? Conventional astrology provides a language of "benefics", "malefics", "afflictions", etc. to explain how a person's bad karma is written in the sky. Honestly applying these ideas with clients and also evaluating them using modern research methods has not given us clear rules for understanding how these malevolent conditions arise, but there are clear and consistent planetary configurations involved in people who engage in malicious behavior. We learn what these planetary configurations are, how they lead to negative consequences, and what can be done to heal and improve these conditions.

Gisele Terry
The Progressed Moon
Research on zodiac signs confirms that people who are born with the largest stelliums in a zodiac sign have traits in common. These are the "Super Aries", "Super Taurus" people, etc. The zodiac signs are 12 phases of a cycle. Some studies have also confirmed that secondary progressions are a valid tool for predicting. Combing the importance of secondary progressions and zodiac signs together leads to the idea that the ingress of a secondary progressed planet into a zodiac sign marks a developmental change. This is a popular idea in modern western astrology. Gisele has taken this idea to a new level through extensive clinical work, integrating ideas in neurobiology and careful analysis using both modern research methods and clinical work. Gisele has worked with this predictive tool for decades, with a particular emphasis on the progressed Moon sign. In this presentation we learn what Gisele has discovered and how we can use these insights to better understand the developmental phases of our clients, friends, family and ourselves.
7:00 PM - 10:00 PM

9:00 AM - 10:15 AM
Christopher Pridham and Kenneth Assemi
The Moon’s Nodes
The Moon's Nodes are extremely important in both modern western astrology and in Vedic astrology. The interpretation of the Moon's Nodes is a bit different in modern western astrology and in Vedic astrology, and there are also variations in the way modern western astrologers interpret the Nodes. Over the past year Christopher Pridham and Kenneth Assemi have dived deep into a study of the Moon's Nodes using modern research methods. They have also been using the Moon's Nodes in consultations for years and have studied and applied ideas used widely in modern western astrology.
The Moon's Nodes have been a big interest of VA researchers for years and this research also builds on previous research. We now have a much clearer idea of how to interpret the Moon's Nodes, and Kenneth and Christopher will share with us what they discovered, and how you can use these insights in your chart interpretations. As we shall see, both modern western and Vedic astrologers have some good insights and the research shows how everyone has hit upon some part of how the Nodes work, and now we can see more clearly what the essential functions of the Nodes are.

Ethan Tang
The 103 Vibration: What it Does in the Birth Chart and How it Operates when Triggered by Transits
Ethan takes a comprehensive approach to understanding the 103 Vibration. In addition to using Extreme Case Sampling to identify themes and behaviors that people with the strongest 103 Vibration have in common, he then creates an AstroSignature Graph to show when 103 Vibe gets activated and he observes how the 103-Vibration themes become important in the person's life at that time. This is a fascinating dive deep into the heart of a particular vibration. Vibrational Astrology research is bringing many new insights every year, and there are many different areas to investigate. Ethan has decided to focus deeply on one particular vibration and employ multiple research methods to give us great confidence in understanding it.

David Wells
Prime Number Vibrations 127, 227, 347, 181 and What We Have Learned About Higher Vibrations
One of the most important challenges in Vibrational Astrology at this point in time is to better understand higher vibrations. David Wells presents what he has discovered about the meanings of vibrations 127, 227, 347 and 181. David then highlights what we have learned about higher vibrations work, how they are different from lower vibrations, and how we can put all of this information in perspective. As a result of this year of intensive research by the research team, we have not only learned about the meaning of specific vibrations, we have also taken another big step in understanding how Vibrational Astrology works. The emphasis of this presentation and all of the presentations is on how you can apply these ideas in your chart intepretations of clients, friends, family and yourself.

Michele Love and Starlene Breiter
Pleiades & Spica
Michele and Starlene build upon Starlene's research last year on Regulus. We found out from last year's research that Regulus does not always give a person a regal demeanor and noble character as some of the traditional ideas on Regulus suggest, but Regulus does give a sensitivity to extremely fast moving, glittering, sparkling and the iridescent glow of things. By putting hundreds of hours into research using modern research methods and modern tools for discovery we find out if the Pleiades and Spica also produce consistent effects and what these effects are. This helps us understand how fixed stars work differently from planets, and Michele and Starlene also tackle some tricky technical issues that must be addressed for us to be confident in using fixed stars in our astrological work. We learn how to practically apply what has been discovered in chart interpretation.
9:00 PM - 11:00 PM

Closing Address: The Next Steps in Vibrational Astrology
Enormous developments in Vibrational Astrology began around late 2022 and early 2023. The pace of these developments has been so fast that it can be difficult to keep track of them even for those who are directly involved. David gives us an update on some of the doors that have opened, what is currently being developed, and what we can see coming into view. There are many opportunities for people trained in Vibrational Astrology to contribute and work in ways that provide important and vital services and to be nicely compensated for these services. We will learn about these developments and we will learn about ways in which you can participate.
