Our New Solar System
With the discovery of the dwarf planet Eris, our solar system is no longer the same. Gone is Pluto as a planet (of course, we astrologers know better) and it's harder for an astrologer to keep up with what's up in our solar system. During this presentation, a new look is taken at the solar system including an assessment of all the solar system's groups: planets (and categories thereof), asteroids, centaurs and potential Oort cloud bodies. Finally, a reason will be given as to the how and whys of Pluto's potency, despite being "plutoed."
Workshop: Snow White and the Seven Dwarves
A new, yet unnamed dwarf planet, colloquially dubbed Snow White by the astronomical community now does its thing upon the horoscopes we interpret, whether we consider it or not. This planet works hand in hand with the other astronomically accepted dwarf planets: Ceres, Pluto (Charon), Eris, Sedna, Makemake and Haumea (and possibly Orcus, Varuna, Quaoar and more). But first, we'll reset the stage. We'll examine how we got in this mess. The implications of our vastly expanded solar system will be included and then we dive into the powerful influences and interpretive value of these bodies. We'll consider heaps of charts of persons and events.Philip Sedgwick began his study of astrology long before any of the current astrological/astronomical controversies. He's been at it four decades and constantly and continuously probes the leading edge of astronomy to give astrologers the latest and greatest information on the solar system and beyond. He has written columns for numerous magazines and columns including America West Airlines, the Science Fiction Channel online, Tarot.com and the Huffington Post. Compiling the best of his discoveries, he published the Galactic Trilogy - a CD containing ephemerides of centaurs, dwarf planets and galactic phenomena combined with three full length treatises on astronomy, interpretations for the data files and heliocentric astrology. Philip now dedicates a large portion of time writing for the entertainment industry. Recently, he was runner up (2nd place) with one of his scripts in the Independent Short Film and Music Awards festival. Regardless of treading in two worlds, he remains focused on expanding the scope of his astrological work into realms few have dared explore.
