Featured Speaker
Kelly Lee Phipps is the author of "Celestial Renaissance: A Revolution of Astrology" and the forthcoming "The Tao of Astrology". With over twenty years experience in astrology, he is actively involved in advancing the field of astrology based in Asheville, NC, interpreting birth charts for folks across the globe. He is also the co-host of The Cosmic Weather astrology podcast (www.cosmicweather.com) and a budding filmmaker with his debut film “Return of the Magi”, a documentary of authentic astrology.

Do you want to vastly improve your chart interpretation skills? Kelly teaches a creative synthesis of the archetypes and techniques of astrology to help you develop an integrated, dynamic, life-changing interpretation style. This method of working with the archetypes utilizes the wisdom of astrology, including the Hellenistic qualities, and blends it with the natural spontaneity and simplicity of Taoism as both a mystical search for the principles that govern life and a philosophy of rhythmic change. Your poetic, oracular, chart interpretation skills will never be the same!
