    My Lectures at UAC 2018

    During the last week in May, thousands of astrologers will be gathering at the Downtown Marriot in Chicago for an important astrological conference. UAC 2018, or United Astrology Conference, will be attracting astrologers from over 50 countries. There will be 170 speakers, chosen from the top astrologers in the world, to give over 300 lectures on their specialties. The very first UAC was in San Diego in 1986 and is one of the favorite conferences amongst professional astrologers. Here is the link for the conference for your interest: www.uacastrology.com.

    These serious conferences draw not only professional astrologers, but also student astrologers as well as mathematicians, software geeks, psychologists, financial analysts as well as healers of all sorts. Oh yes, it’s a fascinating mix of brilliant minds. Even though there will be many languages there . . . we will all be speaking the ancient language of astrology. You will hear astrology spoken in elevators, at breakfast, in hallways, at the pool, as well at lectures. But the most astrology is done late at night in many hotel rooms as astrologers talk to each other until the wee hours of the morning. That is my favorite part --- hanging with my buddy astrologers.

    Since astrology can be combined with so many other techniques, there are 15 different tracks, or styles of astrology, at UAC. Here are the tracks:

    1. Business Consulting and the Business of Astrology
    2. Cycles of Personal Development
    3. Electives and Astrological Specialties
    4. Financial Astrology and Economics
    5. Forecasting/Predictive Techniques
    6. Fundamentals of Astrology
    7. Health and Wellness
    8. History and Research
    9. Mythological and Archetypal
    10.  Natal Chart Delineation
    11.  Philosophical/Spiritual/Esoteric
    12.  Political and Mundane
    13.  Relationships
    14.  Traditional Astrology
    15.  Vedic Astrology

    I know many of you would love to be there, at least in spirit, so here are my lectures so you can feel more connected. The topics they chose out of my list of lectures were: The Basics of Astro*Carto*Graphy and How to Write a Monthly Sun Sign Column.

    Since my background is in astronomy, I specialize in Astro*Carto*Graphy. Last week I had eight charts and four of them were AstroMaps. People seem to be very interested now in finding out where they want to travel. Since I’m also a citizen of the world, this is one of my favorite astrological techniques. The geek in me loves maps of all kinds, so this works perfectly for me. People want their AstroMaps done so they can know: where to move, where to take holidays, where to find love or art or unusual experiences. Many now are having their entire families done so they can choose a good holiday that will work for everyone. This lecture is in the track of Electives and Astrological Specialties.

    My other lecture is How to Write a Monthly Sun Sign Column. For the last 8 years I’ve been writing a monthly column, “What’s Your Sign”, for the world-famous designer, Tory Burch. We happen to share the same birthday of June 17, so we have a special connection. And yes, she and I are both quintessential Geminis! This lecture will be fun because we’ll be actually writing a Sun Sign column during my talk, so it will be totally hands-on! This lecture is in the track of Business Consulting and the Business of Astrology.

    Of course, there will be evenings of entertainment, a dance party cruise on the river and a Gala awards ceremony where we will acknowledge the best in our profession. Everyone will be in their finest attire and ready to celebrate a successful conference. I will write an article for my Cancer newsletter on how UAC inspired me. Off now to pack some nice clothes for my trip!
