Solstice Points

One of the most useful tools
in astrology is all but a ghost!

Strangely enough though,
"ghost" is exactly what the Solsticial Points actually are in

the astrology chart. The Solstice comes about two times a year when the
Sun is at its greatest distance from the
celestial equator: about June 21, when the sun reaches
its northernmost point on the celestial sphere,
or about
December 22, when it reaches its southernmost point.

The theory underlying the
Solstice point or "Antiscia" appears to have been influenced by
Pythagorean philosophy, which claimed that every force in the universe has a
balancing counter-force, and from his ideas the Antiscia became a very useful
tool in antiquity.

The Greek term 'scia' means
shadows. So here we are back at the idea of "Ghosts" in our natal
chart. The date the philosophy of 'opposite-shadows' or 'reflective-degrees' is
unknown but was incorporated into astrology in the belief that each degree of
the zodiac has its own counter degree by mirroring planetary placements and
their distance from the solstice axis of Capricorn and Cancer on the opposite
side of the chart.

Join us for a fun-filled and
entertaining lecture and learn how to use this very important tool, one that is
LONG overdue to become the "new kid on the block."

Arthyr BIO

Arthyr W. Chadbourne is a third
generation astrologer and has been a long-standing advocate for exploring new
dimensions of awareness in the astrological field. An earlier work, Ancient
Whispers from Chaldea, was nominated for the prestigious Regulus Award.

Steeped in traditional
astrology from an early age Arthyr’s knowledge and insights on astrology have
always placed him on the cutting edge. His latest effort, The Moment of
Truth, illustrates this idea very well as he explores and reveals the
underlying soul of the astrological chart. The successful changes he has made
in his own astrological practice prove he is a man not only of visions and
deeds, but an individual whose beliefs spring from the truths and experiences
of daily living.
