The Epic of Gilgamesh: A Mythic Asteroid Exploration on the Search for Immortality
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.
1:30 P.M. to 2:45 P.M. Eastern Time

Lunar Mansions
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.
3:00 P.M. TO 4:15 P.M. Eastern Time

Fixed Stars and Natal Planets
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.

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.

CRISIS ALERT! Illness, the Moon and Critical Days
Ryhan Butler on Medical Astrology
To celebrate International Astrology Day this year, Ryhan Butler presented CRISIS ALERT! Illness, the Moon and Critical Days.
The system of critical days, or timing the events of illness to the motion of the Moon, enjoyed a lofty position in ancient medicine. Initially working as a semi-astrological prognostic tool, astrologers would eventually adopt the technique and expand its uses. Let’s take a look at this developmental history and how best to apply this technique to real life examples.
