Richard Tarnas is a professor of philosophy and psychology at The California Institute Studies and he also teaches archetypal studies and depth psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute. He describes how major planetary cycles are correlated to the trends in this current period in history. He explains how planetary alignments are interpreted according to aspects and why it's important to understand these cycles. Tarnas discusses how the current Uranus Pluto Square (until 2020) suggests the potential for transformation, turmoil and social change and how the opposition of Saturn and Uranus (until 20011) signifies a clash between the old and the new. He also reflects on the current T-square between Uranus, Pluto and Saturn, which has not existed since 1929-1933 and how this aspect correlated to the recent economic turmoil.

Eric Meyers is an evolutionary astrologer and holds a M.A. from Naropa University in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology. He is also a graduate of the Steven Forrest Apprenticeship Program. Meyers enjoys looking at astrology from a spiritual, non-dual lens as opposed to a more dualistic benefic/malefic or masculine/feminine lens. He discusses the current opposition between Saturn and Uranus with Saturn representing consensus reality and the dualistic world, and Uranus representing the broader metaphysical, non-dual world, and authentic truth. Finally, Meyers talks about the taboo of astrology and astrology's role in society.

Adam Gainsburg is a heart-centered, sound healer and the founder of Soulsign astrology. He describes how he uses the intuitive science of astrology and meditation to assist clients in finding their authentic path of growth. Gainsburg talks about his perspective on archetypes and storytelling from the natal chart, and how the narratives can hold people back if they become too attached to them. He explains his primary natal chart interpretation strategy of using the lunar nodes, the rulerships of the nodes and the aspects to the nodes. Finally, he describes how the Chiron wound of "our belief and our separation from source" is related to four levels of healing: the sacred wound, the broken-open heart, the sacred medicine, and the medicine walk.

Maggie Hyde is the co-founder of the Company of Astrologers and has an M.A. in the Study of Mysticism and Religious Experience. Hyde explains Carl Jung's two definitions of "synchronicity," and how this concept of synchronicity can help us understand the nature of astrology and the mechanism for how it works. She defines the concept of divination and explains how insights come from opening up to the symbolic language of the archetypes. Looking at astrology as a process of divination can help explain how astrologers can find similar truths while using different types of astrological tools and techniques.

Gloria Star is an astrologer, author and teacher. She writes a feature column "Astrology News" for The Mountain Astrologer Magazine.

She specifically describes the Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune conjunction in Aquarius, and explains how we can use our action and will to consciously determine our final product, outcome, or experience. She discusses current astrological cycles of a challenging Saturn and Pluto opposition, and how we can access our creative potentials during these times of change.

She also talks a bit about the ISAR Certification program and the importance of verifying a certain level of competency in astrological practitioners.

Enid Newburg is the President of Kepler College, and she talks more about Kepler and it's original founding and opening in March 2000. She reflects on the history of astrology and how it's approached in the curriculum offered at Kepler. Newburg explains the benefit of studying astrology formally from a variety of different astrological perspectives and the importance of developing historical analysis and understanding of astrological techniques. She also talks about Kepler College's goal of becoming a full-fledged, academic institution and the challenges of gaining accreditation due to the cultural stigma surrounding astrology.

Robert Hand has written a number of ground-breaking texts about astrology, including his comprehensive "Planets in Transit," which was actually written for a computer program. He talks about the process of becoming an astrologer and writing so many books on the topic. Hand gives a preview of his keynote in which he discusses how different astrological traditions can come to similar conclusions while using different techniques, and argues that they can be seen as different languages that say the same thing. Hand reflects on his process for translating historical Medieval texts of astrology from Latin, and the development of Project Hindsight. He sees the potential for a grand synthesis between the modern astrological innovations and the foundational elements from the restored techniques of Medieval and Hellenistic astrology.

Chris Brennan was exposed to a number of different astrological traditions while studying at Kepler College, and moved away from his roots in modern psychological astrology after discovering more philosophical coherence from Hellenistic astrology. He talks a bit about the evolution of astrological concepts, and the cycles of re-integrating historical astrology into contemporary astrology. Brennan is much more into the predictive techniques of Hellenistic astrology, and because of some of his experiences, he holds a contrarian view from the humanistic perspective of free will and provides some opposing determinist perspectives. Brennan is definitely in the minority of the fate vs. free will debate within astrological community in this regard, but sees this as an emerging tension and hot topic. He also talks about the resurgence Hellenistic astrology and some of the specific techniques he commonly uses in his readings such as the Time Lord Systems and Zodiacal Releasing work. Finally, Brennan talks about the Association for Young Astrologers, and what it's like being a 'young astrologer' within the broader astrological community.
