The Cracked Mirror: The Astrology of Narcissism
featuring Kay Taylor
“It’s the Leos!” we might joke, but then we remember that unforgettable Aries or that Mars-dominant personality we’d rather forget—and let’s not overlook the power-obsessed Pluto types. Narcissism isn’t limited to one astrological signature, nor does it have a singular expression. In this talk, we’ll explore the evolving perspectives on narcissism, including connections to neurodiversity (such as autism and ADHD) and even the potential benefits of certain narcissistic traits. From the spectrum of “no-self” to typical narcissistic tendencies to diagnosable disorders, we’ll dive deep. Fascinating chart examples will reveal astrological patterns, while practical tools will help navigate working with narcissistic clients and exploring pathways to healing.
Kay Taylor is an Intuitive Evolutionary Astrologer, author and teacher who has been integrating soul centered astrology with intuitive mastery, psychosynthesis, yoga philosophy and a wealth of healing wisdom for over 40 years. An engaging conference speaker, she also trains astrologers through her Soul Path School. Kay is President of OPA Foundation since 2020 (Organization for Professional Astrology) where she is core faculty and co-created the Consulting Skills Training. She is also on the Board of UAC2026 (United Astrology Conference) and is a Board member and faculty for Kepler College.

The Search for Soul Purpose in the Horoscope: Draconic Astrology
featuring Victor Olliver
In this workshop Victor shall introduce students to draconic astrology (also known as nodal astrology). It’s a straightforward technique in itself but the challenge lies in interpreting the draconic chart as against the tropical chart. The draconic chart is in essence a Moon version of the tropical chart – which is Sun-based. We start with the natal North Node to create the draconic chart.
The workshop covers the following:
- The lunar nodes which relate to soul purpose.
- Definitions of soul.
- The technique and the three-step process Victor devised. Also, an introduction to draconic transits. This system has its own ephemeris and is different from the tropical and sidereal zodiacs.
- Famous case studies.
- Interaction with the class: a few of your charts will be analysed to determine soul purpose, step by step.
- If time, a basic introduction to predictive draconic astrology.
Victor Olliver is the author of Chasing the Dragons: An Introduction to Draconic Astrology [The Wessex Astrologer]. It has received rave critiques. The late Michael Lutin wrote of the book: “[It] provides a fresh approach to a branch of our work every lover of the wisdom and mystery of astrology should explore”. Victor is also the Editor of both The Astrological Journal and Stellar, published by the Astrological Association. Before becoming an astrologer, he wrote for newspapers (such as The Times) and glossy magazines, and edited several titles, winning two awards from the Periodical Publishers’ Association in the UK. He is a non-practising barrister. He plans to write a follow-up to his draconic book on advanced forecasting. Victor lives on the south coast of England. His website: victorolliver.co.uk.

Success Cycles: Personal and Business Planning with the Planetary Days and Lunar Wisdom
featuring Bronwyn Simons
Astrology is a powerful tool for personal, business, and career planning. In this brief survey of short-term astrological planning, I introduce participants to three key techniques for planning with the Sun, Moon and planets.
From aligning our daily business activities towards success with the Moon through the lunar zodiac and closing aspects, to planning our business quarters most effectively based on personal energy flow and creative capacity with the Sun, to engaging the energy of the planets every day with the Planetary Days, these cycles address the daily and annual aspects of planning.
These techniques don’t only work in theory. I use them daily, and support my clients in using them. They are the very techniques I have used to build and maintain a thriving six-figure astrology business over the last Saturn Quarter.
Bronwyn Simons is a predictive astrologer and astrology mentor with a worldwide client base and a busy consulting practice. She is beloved by clients and students for her warm, wise, compassionate, and positive style of sharing. She’s an earthy Taurus with a highly intuitive Cancer Moon, and a Scorpio chart signature. Her astrological approach is rooted in the elegant functionality of traditional astrology, informed by her background in art history, literature, depth psychology, and classics, and guided by modern astrological principles of client care and astrology as a tool for personal growth. Her style is warm, wise, compassionate, and positive, with deep roots in the mystery of the Otherworld. After 30+ years of study and practice, she is truly a master of the esoteric arts. She helps her clients through the big transitions of life, with guidance that is practical, embodied, empowering, and rooted in the wisdom of spirit.

Harnessing your Future: Planetary Power Plays with Jupiter and Saturn
featuring Shannon Rae
Stuck in “The Long Adulthood”? Jupiter, the planet of expansion, optimism, and big dreams, can sometimes feel at odds with Saturn’s serious, structure-loving vibe. Together, they create a cosmic tug-of-war, leaving us stranded on our individual path to success, expansion, and self-mastery.
In this workshop we’ll anchor into our natal Jupiter-Saturn phasal relationship and the age related cycles of these two giants before exploring how to leverage the powerful 20 year cycle between Jupiter and Saturn. This rhythm of “building and becoming” can point to key periods for personal and professional progress, maximizing our potential for long-lasting success!
Shannon Rae is a practicing Astrologer and the Director of the Manitoba School of Astrology. Her great joy is helping people understand themselves through Astrology, and align their lives in rhythm with the sky. She offers natal and predictive astrology readings for individuals and couples, beginner-advanced workshops, private tutoring, and certification classes for the Canadian Association for Astrological Education.

Stellar Insights into Family Dynamics
featuring Laura Tadd, PhD
Applying an astrological perspective to understanding the interpersonal relationships within a family is helpful and healing for people at all levels of astrological knowledge. In addition to looking at the synastry between family members, we often see astrological patterns within a family. This patterning speaks to a family karmic story, similar personalities, and repeated interpersonal dynamics. Additionally, at times, there are family members who are outliers. They break from the patterns found among other members and may struggle to feel like they belong within their family unit. Thus, they need unique support to feel seen. In both cases, looking at astrology within the context of a family unit provides profound insight and healing.
Spiritually oriented, psychological astrologer and well-being mentor Dr. Laura Tadd works in-person and online, aiding her clients in mind, body, and spirit healing and discovery. Employing various experiential astrological and wellness techniques, she firmly believes in helping her clients recognize their potential— thereby supporting them to navigate the inevitable twists and turns of life.
In addition to her client work, Laura is a writer, teacher, and lecturer and Co-leads wellness retreats across the globe.
Laura has served as a Board member of the International Association for Ethics in Astrology (IAEA) and the Washington State Astrological Association (WSAA). She was on the Steering Committee for the Association for Astrological Networking (AFAN) and the Planning Committee for the United Astrology Conference (UAC) 2018. Laura has written for The Mountain Astrologer, Celestial Vibes, and Tarot.com. She has been a monthly panelist on Talk Cosmos’ Planet Buzz podcast since March 2020.
Laura lives in a wellness community south of Atlanta, GA, and holds a PhD in Human Science. Visit her website at mythicsky.com.
