NCGR-NYC 2025 ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING

THE TWO KEYS TO ASTRO*CARTO*GRAPHY with Kenneth Irving

WHEN:

FRIDAY SEPT 26, 2025, 7:00 p.m. EDT

WHAT:

Each year, the New York Chapter of NCGR kicks off the new season of events with a presentation on topical issues in astrology and in the world at large. And so, we have asked Kenneth Irving to share his knowledge on The Two Keys to Astro*Carto*Graphy. 

Astrology changed some years ago when Jim Lewis began selling world maps that showed where the Sun, the Moon, and the planets in a person’s birth chart could be found rising, setting, or on an upper or lower angle anywhere around the world. The maps made it possible to use astrology to make decisions such as where to live or where to go for a vacation, but they tended to leave the birth chart itself out of the picture. The focus of this talk, based on the book The Psychology of Astro*Carto*Graphy, shows how the birth chart and the map together can affect a move.

Kenneth Irving began his astrological career in 1974 at American Astrology magazine, and became its editor and publisher with Lee Chapman in 1983 until it ceased publication in 2003. He then became editor of Horoscope Guide magazine until 2022. Ken has lectured at numerous conferences including the Astrological Association of Great Britain, ISAR, NCGR, UAC, and the Society for Scientific Exploration. He has authored numerous articles, columns, and book reviews for journals such as Correlation and the Journal for Scientific Exploration. He was also co-author with Suitbert Ertel of The Tenacious Mars Effect, and co-author with Jim Lewis of The Psychology of Astro*Carto*Graphy.

Join us for this Zoom event (ONLINE ONLY) on Astro*Carto*Graphy, plus a Q&A with Kenneth Irving and attendees!

2025 Spring Conference

EXPLORING NEW DIMENSIONS IN CHART INTERPRETATION: FIXED STARS, ASTEROIDS and LUNAR MANSIONS with Amy Angelo, J.M. Hamade and Elizabeth Hazel

Recording now available!

Every spring, the New York City Chapter of NCGR presents a new perspective on our ever-changing, ever-evolving practice. 

This year we are honored to have three expert astrologers from varied backgrounds share with us their theories and techniques for applying astrology more effectively with our clients and ourselves. These astrologers will present their perspectives based on their many years of experience, their work with clients, and their studies and observations.

The Epic of Gilgamesh: A Mythic Asteroid Exploration on the Search for Immortality

by Amy Angelo

 The Epic of Gilgamesh is a rich and ancient work of literature, originating from ancient Mesopotamia around 2100 BCE. Gilgamesh, the legendary king of Uruk, is a hero renowned for his strength, adventures, and quest for immortality. His story marks a shift in consciousness from the cyclical reality of the great mother goddess to the erection of a mighty hero. Themes of immortality and legacy, love and loss reach us through the ages in this timeless story.

In this lecture, we will delve into the mythology of Gilgamesh and explore how asteroids associated with this epic manifest in the lives and birth charts of individuals who have shifted our consciousness in a radical way. By examining the placement of these asteroids at key points in the birth chart, we uncover important archetypes, stories and mythic imprints that shape the destinies of these individuals.  Prominent asteroids from Gilgamesh’s tale will serve as guides, linking the ancient myth to our modern understanding.

The Lunar Stations

by J.M. Hamade

 An introduction to the mysterious 28- (sometimes 27-) sign zodiac of the Moon. The lunar stations, better known as the lunar mansions, make up the starry backdrop of the Moon's monthly journeys across the sky. Through the three cultures with the most enduring traditions of lunar station use, namely the Indian, Chinese, and Arab/Islamic, we will explore their significance in ancient times onwards to today.

Fixed Stars and Natal Planets

by Elizabeth Hazel

This is an excellent presentation for astrologers who are interested in integrating fixed stars into their practice and are ready to learn basic methods for delineating planet-star combinations. Liz presents a series specific constellations and stars followed by sample charts that demonstrate how those stars operate in natal charts. Participants will learn how to blend planet and star meanings, gain insights on how different planets channel stellar energies, and how fixed stars can create important life themes.

International Astrology Day

THE PROCESS OF CHANGE FOR 2025-2026 with Eileen McCabe

WHEN:

FRIDAY, MARCH 21, 2025

WHAT:

International Astrology Day (IAD) is an annual observance/holiday that was first asserted by the Association for Astrological Networking in 1993. Each year, NCGR-NYC uses the proceeds from our IAD events to support our astrology programs and community.

In honor of International Astrology Day 2025, we're excited to have Eileen McCabe speak to us about THE PROCESS OF CHANGE.

With Pluto now in Aquarius for the next 19 years, and with Saturn, Neptune and Uranus moving into new signs in 2025-2026, how does the astrologer help people to navigate these intense and dramatic cosmic changes in their own personal lives? We will discuss how life transitions can be both exciting and challenging and how the natal horoscope is always the key that provides a certain level of clarity in the face of any major changes in our lives.

She has received NCGR-PAA Level IV certification as a consulting astrologer, has a graduate degree in social work from Fordham University and has a certificate in psychotherapy from The Training Institute of Self Psychology.
