The Friday Preconference: Who It Is For?
If you are a beginner in astrology or you are new to Vibrational Astrology, we very strongly recommend that you register for the Preconference lectures and arrive Thursday so you can attend the Friday lectures! If you are experienced with Vibrational Astrology or even a professional Vibrational Astrologer, you may also enjoy the preconference lectures but the Friday Preconference lectures are especially important for those who know little about astrology or little about Vibrational Astrology.

Basics of Vibrational Astrology
Learn the basics of Vibrational Astrology: harmonic charts, midpoints, and isotraps. We will learn natal, compatibility, and forecasting with VA. If you bring a laptop computer with astrology software installed to the conference, bring it to the workshop (fully charged because there are limited electrical outlets) and you can bring up the information for your chart to see what VA reveals about you. David will use examples of planetary configurations in the birth charts of attendees to demonstrate how the interpretation is done. If you are new to Vibrational Astrology we highly recommend attending this pre-conference workshop so you can follow the ideas presented in the conference. People who are more experienced with VA can also find this workshop informative and helpful, and users of the Kepler and Sirius software will also benefit by seeing how the information is accessed in these programs.

East Meets West: Vedic Astrology and Vibrational Astrology
Many ideas in Vibrational Astrology are completely consistent with ideas in Vedic Astrology. We see how very ancient Vedic literature describes the nature of astrology and the nature of reality in a way that anticipates developments thousands of years later. Ancient wisdom, Vibrational Astrology, Mysticism and Science converge in unity.

The Vertex in Relocational Astrology
For the past several years evidence has been increasing that the Vertex is very important in Relocational Astrology. We will see how using the Vertex resolves several problems and how we can now give better Relocational Astrology information to clients by including the Vertex in our work.
11:00 AM - 12:15 PM
Fei Cochrane
Breast Cancer
A very comprehensive research study on breast cancer has produced an exciting finding. A Breast Cancer AstroSignature that is based on Vibrational Astrology theory fits very well with a database of people with this form of cancer. Just as with the research presented at last year's Vibrational Astrology conference on heart disease, we find that the application of Vibrational Astrology principles to groups of charts of people who have the same disease shows what they have in common. Also, exciting is that the findings suggest what preventative measures and treatments could be appropriate for different people.

A new way to do Vibrational Forecasting
Although there are very good ways to see vibrational patterns in the chart, it is only very recently that we can see changing vibrational patterns created by the interaction of transiting planets with natal planets. This is a big step forward in vibrational astrology. In this presentation Davis explains how we can now see these changing vibrations.
4:15 PM - 5:30 PM

Eating Disorders and Other Mental and Physical Diseases
Researching a database of people with anorexia and bulimia shows what they have in common and what is driving people to have these eating disorders. Understanding the driving forces behind these illnesses can be helpful for therapists. This is a first phase of research into these illnesses that generates insights that can be confirmed in future research.

A Practical way to use VA in your Professional Practice
Each Vibrational Astrologer implements the rules of Vibrational Astrology in a slightly different way. The fundamental principles are well-established but each astrologer develops their own unique way to apply these ideas in practice. In this presentation Christopher shows us a very simple and direct way to apply Vibrational Astrology methods to chart interpretation, and he illustrates the ideas with cases from his consulting practice.
4:15 PM - 5:30 PM

New Insights into Vibrations
Each vibration is a process in nature. Each vibration relates, connects or processes fundamental components of nature. These are existential facts of life that utilize the raw materials of life for a specific purpose. There is intent and you can say motivation to each process. These processes take on particular expressions in people and other expressions in other living things and in other processes. By understanding these fundamental principles, we understand better how the vibrations operate in our lives.
5:30 PM - 5:45 PM
Closing Ceremony
Expressions of gratitude, a meditation, and group photo.
