Electional Astrology: the Art of Co-Creating Your Future with Diane Clark
Based on 12 fundamental principles, astrology provides you with a unique and amazing system for understanding your makeup, motivations, innate talents and challenges — as well as those of others in your personal sphere.
Equally important, astrology also provides an effective timing method for developing your natural potentials, projecting into the future and co-creating the reality you would like to experience. Electional Astrology offers useful and numerous tools for choosing (electing) an ideal, or at least appropriate, time for initiating a new project or business, getting married, signing contracts, investing money, taking a trip, scheduling medical or dental procedures, getting a haircut, planting a garden or planning a successful party.
In this Zoom presentation, we will explore easy-to-learn techniques and tools that will hopefully inspire you to utilize astrological timing for further self-development and for making better-informed choices for your future. In the course of this talk, we will cover the Sun and Moon cycles, with a special emphasis on Moon transits & aspects. Planet transits, progressions and solar returns will also be discussed. Bring your horoscope (along with current progressions & transits if possible) — and your questions for the Q & A session following the talk.
So, instead of wondering how upcoming planetary transits & progressions will be affecting you, know that you have the power to take control of your own destiny and put yourself into the driver’s seat. Experience your life from a more intentional perspective through astrology in action!

Quincunx – The Underdog of Aspects
They’re not squares, they’re not oppositions, and they’re definitely not subtle. Quincunxes are the itch you can’t scratch – persistent, puzzling, and profoundly revealing.
In this lecture, we’ll explore the potent energy of quincunxes (a.k.a. inconjuncts) – aspects often misunderstood, overlooked, or underestimated. We’ll discuss their role in natal charts, the tension they create, and the peculiar way they demand constant adjustment.
What you’ll get:
A fresh perspective on the 150 degree aspect and its psychological,
energetic, and practical implications
Tools for interpreting quincunxes in natal charts and transits
Case studies that reveal how these aspects show up in real life
A framework for working with this tension in client sessions
Quincunxes reflect the inconsistencies we live with every day – between body and mind, duty and desire, confidence and doubt. Understanding them gives us better language for those hard-to-define inner conflicts.
Join us as we discuss one of astrology’s most persistent puzzles – bring your charts, your curiosity, and your willingness to explore the most awkward of the astrological aspects.
