"Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow:
Recurring Planetary Themes"
with
Michael Lutin and Darby Costello
May 6th -15th, 2009

Two of the most vivacious, charismatic and brilliant astrologers in the field today, Michael Lutin and Darby Costello circled the planet, (Michael flying West and Darby East), to touch down and meet on the magical, mysterious island of Bali. Here they convened in a beautiful traditional pagoda set in the middle of the lush and verdant ricefields, and with those lucky enough to join them they took an exciting astrological journey. This was a "not to be missed" event suitable for both the most serious professional practitioner and the budding astrology student.

Why are we here? What are we doing?

Unless you are totally blissfully happy and never have had one regret
about an unfinished relationship, you would not have been interested in our workshop in Bali.

If, however, you've ever wondered about someone in your past and wished things might have turned out differently, or,  
if you had business or personal issues that needed resolving,
and fast,
you would have been thrilled you took the chance to  explore and enjoy.

Then and Now:

In all families there are stories of marriages and friendships and love affairs in previous generations; stories that come down to us.

Where do we find the stories that we remember in our natal charts?

How much influence do they have on our own relationships?

We brought the stories and memories and fantasies of ancestral love and got to know our charts in a new way.

Then and Now:

Your first experience of Love’s sharp arrow
and its consequences
have a place and time in your planetary patterns.

We brought the story and the astrology of that time in our lives,
to weave it into the dance and play of who we are as a lover and a beloved.

We looked at our charts in a new light
so as to better practice and enjoy the art of love.

And finally, we considered:

All of us are born into the world with centuries of lives woven into our beings. As living seeds grow in fertile wombs, our ancestors meet and mix the genetic material that becomes our own. We are born and take our first breath and our birthchart is a picture of that moment. It is also a picture of the power and potential of our lives - and the struggles and limitations within which we will forge those lives.

Is there some mysterious purpose for our landing in one particular family? Whether we chose it or not, one fact remains: The horoscope describes with uncanny accuracy our early life on Earth and the situations, circumstances and events which form our vision of reality, including the gifts we are given and the damage that is done.

How much can we change and how much must we accept?

That was the purpose of this wonderfully successful workshop.

It was an incredible experience for everyone who attended.
