Family Constellations allow hidden dynamics that influence relationships, health, and professional success to be brought to light. My goal is to offer a transformative experience focused on Systemic Astrology, also known as Astrogenealogy.

Through Systemic Astrology, the connection between astrological symbols and systemic family dynamics is explored, revealing patterns, invisible loyalties, and entanglements that can be inherited or unconsciously acquired across generations.

Understanding the natal chart through Systemic Astrology is also about understanding the soul’s journey and recognizing that by transforming our consciousness, we likewise transform the way we live and relate to ourselves, our families, and the world around us.

True transformation happens when we understand the language of the soul.

It is an experiential workshop designed to allow participants to step into their own Astrological Chart, which is represented on a large-scale cloth Zodiac. Through their body positioning and systemic dynamics, each participant will have the opportunity to experience and understand certain limiting patterns, making space for new possibilities.

This work helps shed light on the origin of many personal challenges, fostering processes of healing, liberation, and inner growth.

This lecture proposes a critical review of the correspondences between plants and planets presented by Nicholas Culpeper in The Complete Herbal (1652), analyzing its historical foundations and contemporary relevance. It will explore how modern phytochemistry can contribute to updating these associations, recognizing that a single plant can exhibit multiple planetary correspondences according to its different constituents and therapeutic applications.

In a world of constant acceleration—where anxiety, exhaustion, and emotional instability seem increasingly common—the question arises: are we all going mad, or are we going through profound processes of transformation?

This presentation explores the relationship between mental health and astrology, examining natal aspects that indicate greater psychic sensitivity, emotional intensity, or a predisposition to internal crises. We will also address the role of transits—especially involving outer planets—as catalysts for challenging yet potentially transformative periods.

Not all difficult moments are “problems” to be solved; some are inevitable invitations to change. How can we distinguish between the two? And how can we navigate these cycles with greater awareness?

A space for sharing and reflection, proposing that we view vulnerability not as a flaw, but as the language of the soul in motion.

The transit of Chiron in Taurus reveals wounds and opportunities for healing related to how we relate to the material dimension of life, with which we connect primarily through the physical body. It also serves as a reminder that the body is more than just a necessary instrument for life on the physical plane—it is the vehicle of the soul, where spirit and matter meet.

This lecture aims to explore the healing opportunities inherent in Chiron’s transit through Taurus, supported by simple exercises (body-centered and based on grounding and focusing techniques) that allow us to improve our connection to concrete reality, presence in the moment, body awareness, inner listening, self-esteem, and the perception of what holds true value.

This experiential lecture presents the Proluna technique, developed by Boris Cristoff—a lunar progression method that divides life into 7-year cycles per astrological house over a total period of 84 years. Following a brief theoretical foundation of the technique and its application in medical astrology, the audience is invited to calculate, through a guided process, their own current age house and identify its ruling planet and sign.

From this personal calculation, health patterns and vulnerabilities associated with each decade of life are explored together and illustrated with case studies, allowing each participant to locate their present moment within the 84-year cycle and anticipate future trends. The session concludes with a reflection on the preventive value of this reading, integrating it into a functional health approach.
