Astrology and Divinition
Where is our knowledge based on?
An opportunity from AstroArt School of Astrology for the ones who want to deepen the predictions based on the astrological information and reach the refinement of the art of interpretation.
Astrologers are like guides being the translators for the divine language of heavens.
It is a gradual process for the celestial messages to get into contact with you. Discover all the steps during the transformation of the abstract into the tangible with Geoffrey Cornelius, Maggie Hyde, Yeşne Karaca İren and Öner Döşer.
MISTERY OF INTERPRETATION… Being perfect in the interpretation requires understanding the potential of the astrological symbols and their origins rather than just reading them. This is an art; and inspiration is needed to reveal the work of this divine art, insight and also true communication with technical information and symbols are needed.

10:00-10:15 Opening speech and introduction, Hande Kazanova
10:15-11:15 Öner Döşer, Hermes and Divine Wisdom
In Medieval times, Hermes was at times identified with the Thoth of Egypt, Enoch of the Jews, the Hosang of the Persian and Idris of Muslims. Independently of the geography, he was regarded as a prophet who founded the sciences and brought divine messages to humanity. Hermes, known as the prophet İdris As. in Islamic literature, was the first man to whom divine wisdom was given by God (Allah Cc.) including the wisdom of the stars. Öner will explore this great man with reference to Islamic sources and his role for bringing astrological wisdom to his mankind as an initiator.
11:15-11:30 Coffee break
11:30-12:30 Yeşne Karaca İren, 7 Rays with Yeşne Karaca İREN
Every form of existence has its roots in divine purpose and it all melts down into One and only. In her speech Yeşne will look into divine mechanizm in terms of 7 creative forces that eventually gives birth to our tangible existence with respect to islamic understanding of Being which can widen our astrologic horizons.
12:30-13:30 Lunch break
13:30-14:45 Geoffrey Cornelius, Where do astrologers and diviners get their information?
The short answer is that nobody knows. There are, however, plenty of theories around, and the further one goes the more mysterious the whole thing becomes. Even the astrologers know that their interpretations, rooted in symbol, are not a simple matter of objective information ‘out there’. The range of possibilities runs from spirits to cold-reading, thought-transference, psychism, cosmic harmony, the collective unconscious and angelic or planetary intelligences. Some say it’s the Devil. What doyou think?
14:45-15:00 Coffee break
15:00-16:15 Maggie Hyde, The Symbolic Attitude with Maggie Hyde
The world speaks in wondrous ways to those with an alternative reality. Any event or situation is open to symbolic interpretation if we intuit that it metaphorically signifies something else. The psychologist Carl Jung calls this the ‘symbolic attitude’ and tells us that it is “ the outcome of a definite view of life endowing an occurrence, whether great or small, with a meaning to which a certain deeper value is given than to pure actuality.”
Yet symbols are often uncertain, so how do we interpret the meaning of a dream, an omen, a coincidence, a horoscope or “thing suddenly happening”? Interpreting the mystery of what wishes to show is the art of the diviner. Through the symbols of Tarot, the I Ching or astrology, the diviner arrives at the truth of a situation, understands its meaning, and brings about a change of conscious attitude. In this talk, Maggie will look at how divination has the marvelous ability to engage with what wishes to show and she will explore how divinatory space and the dialogue between client and diviner turn the client towards truth.

Day workshops for astrologers
19 March 2016, Saturday (200 TL)
10:00-16:30 Maggie Hyde, Showings and ‘Things Suddenly Happening’- Recreating the magic of Katarchic astrology –
While much of modern astrology continues to be enframed by post-Enlightenment thought, traditional astrology, especially horary, orients us to the cosmology of antiquity. Such an orientation is expressed in the katarche (‘ka-tar-key’), a term used in early Greek astrology to describe horary and related practices. It may be translated as ‘initiative’. It implies the seeking of astrological omens of good or ill fortune for the human desire or enterprise being put to the test of divination.
The Company of Astrologers specialises in katarche and Maggie will outline some of its key principles and methods, using example charts to illustrate showings and what William Lilly calls ‘things suddenly happening’. With such an orientation, modern astrologers turn conventional reality on its head and recreate not only the magic of katarchic astrology but also a cosmology for modern times.
In this workshop you will learn the principles of the katarche and the horary methods used to analyse how our desires are shown in natal, horary and event charts.
20 March 2016, Sunday (200 TL)
10:00-16:30 Geoffrey Cornelius, The Symbolic Narrative- Negotiating Destiny in the Story you Tell –
Does the natal horoscope, with its transits and progressions, fate us or free us? ‘Fortune-telling’ is telling stories from symbolism, and when fortunately told the narrative of the horoscope throws new light on the concrete facts of life and character, re-casting present, past, and future. What is meant by the saying ‘destiny is negotiable’? The right understanding of timing techniques is crucial, and in this seminar we demonstrate key pointers for the student, starting with the concept of horoscope ‘takes’, radicality, the role of context, and the distinction between speculative and realised modes of interpretation.
