ISBA Newsletter February
2005
Dear ISBA member:
We are now in the sign of Aquarius. I know you all know this, but I (Hannah) have three close
Aquarius family members (my Dad, my sister and my son). As I am a double Scorpio, I feel it….
I know of several families where the sun signs of the members form almost exclusively squares
and opposites …wonder if it is very widespread?
Headlines of February are:
1) Members Corner
2) Vladimir Gorbatceivichs workshop continued – step 8 & 9
3) Award for Paul Nipperess – Australia and Article
4) New website
5) Competition! Design a logo for ISBA
6) Research Project: Quintiles
1) Members Corner
In January we grew by 4 new members.
A hearty welcome to:
Wojtek Suchomski – Poland
Mary Lashley Barcella, Ph.D. - USA
Fabio Faschetti - England
Karen Metzer – Australia
As usual we greet all four new business astrologer colleagues warmly, and we hope that you will
benefit from your membership of our society.
Furthermore we look forward to seeing you at the upcoming Astrological Congress in May in Amsterdam.
2) Vladimir Gorbatceivichs workshop continued – step 8 & 9
At the end of this newsletter you will find step 8 and 9 of Vladimir Gorbatceivichs
Workshop on the Average Chart. Thia workshop is free for ISBA members, but will be published at
the end of 2005 as an ISBA e-Book and available to the public.
3) Award for Paul Nipperess - Australia and Article
Paul Nipperess, one of our prominent members in Australia has received a very fine award for his
work with financial astrology. Check out Pauls impressive results and how they compare with the
other chosen stocks in the attached PDF-file
We congratulate you, Paul – we are proud of you!!
And as usual, the hard-working Paul has supplied some comments on the upcoming equinoxes in March
and May. Check out the web site www.businessastrologers.com to read what our award-winning member
writes!
4) New websites
We have embarked on the much-needed process of reconstructing and redesigning our ISBA web sites.
In the coming months we will have completely new sites describing our work in an even more professional
manner. We also strive for a modern, business-like visual identity. As we are still in the planning
process we encourage all members to submit ideas of any kind for the make-over of the site –
contents, visual aids, structure etc etc.
5) Competition!! Design a logo for ISBA
In connection with the above subject, we have happily gained members who are ambitious on behalf
of ISBA. They would like real membership cards, letterheads etc. with the ISBA logo. We don’t
have a logo, it simply hasn’t been a priority yet – but as we grow, new requirements
emerge. We have decided to call for a competition to design the new ISBA logo, and we encourage
any member with an artistic or creative vein to enter and submit their ideas. Send your suggestion
for the new ISBA logo during the coming months. The winning logo will be announced in the May
newsletter and also presented at the ISBA Congress in May in Amsterdam. The winner will receive
a 1-year membership of ISBA as a reward.
6) Research project
We have chosen to bring this in our newsletter, even though the project is not actually business
astrology or financial astrology. Perhaps some of our members would like to participate in the
research project – take a look at the web site and help out fellow astrologers doing serious
work.
The Quintiles Research Project
We are conducting an investigation into the status of the Quintile aspects in astrology, and hope
that you
will participate in this research project by taking the on-line survey at http://FreeOnlineSurveys.com/rendersurvey.asp?id=78484.
This questionnaire has been designed to ascertain the current level of astrologers' familiarity,
usage and
understanding of the Quintile and Bi-Quintile aspects in astrological practice. More than a half
dozen
astrologers have contributed to the content and/or structure of the survey.
At the end of the survey, participants will be given the opportunity to request to continue on
in the
project and/or to receive a copy of the tabulated results.
The survey will be kept open until March 14th, in order to allow for a significant sampling of
the
astrological community to hear about it, share it among their groups and have time to respond
to it.
A Yahoo e-group, Quintiles Research (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/quintilesresearch), has
been established so that interested respondents may contribute to that discussion and in so doing
help
determine what the next phase of the research should be.
We would further appreciate any help you can give us by passing this message along to your mailing
list
and/or any astrological groups and associations to which you belong.
In Gratitude, we are
Johnny and Jan Mirehiel and associates:
Robert Blaschke
Dusty Bunker
Lynda Hill
Madalyn Hillis-Dineen
Alphee Lavoie

Vladimir Gorbatceivich. Average Chart Workshop Step 8
Learn how to work with the Average Chart. Find previous lessons in the former newsletters!
ASTROLOGY OF SEVERAL GROUPS
1. Relations between groups
Synastries between two AC’s - mutual aspects between two AC’s.
Example. For business groups it is natural to consider the following mutual
aspects:
Between two Mercuries
Between two Marses.
2. AC for two or more groups.
Yes, it is possible to use AC for a describing of several groups! We calculate AC for two or more
AC’s and this new AC gives a lot of information about this complex group.
An example – our “artificial” group may be considered as a group of four companies,
so in this case AC is the chart which is describing these four companies as a whole.
It is rather difficult to give any concrete interpretations for planets in such subtle object
as AC for several groups. But the main ideas of such interpretations (see Step 3) are valid here
too.
Step 9 RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN GROUP AND ITS MEMBERS
1. A synastry between AC and charts of members of a group.
Sometimes it is very useful to find a personification of some group's functions. For example -
who is a personification of Mercury in AC? To answer this question we may try to find some strong
aspect to Mercury from some very important planet (luminary, as a rule) in a chart of some group's
member.
Some other approach – to compare an astrological description of some member’s chart
and AC. If some planet is very strong in this individual chart, so we may suppose that this person
is a personification of the corresponding planet in AC. For example, if this person has a lot
of planets in Aries (Sun, Mars, Mercury), so he is a candidate for a personification of Mars in
the group’s chart AC. But nevertheless, in this case some strong aspects between this person’s
planets and Mars in AC have to be found.
2. A redistribution of duties in group of employees.
Sometimes in a business group (or in any other group) some main functions are distributed with
some faults. Using AC and aspects to AC from member’s charts, we can find some better distribution
of these functions.
We may use approach from point 1 above to give some advices about such redistributing.
3. A choice of a candidate for some vacancy in a group.
First of all, it is necessary to formulate group's problem, which we want to solve by means of
adding some new member to this group. Then we have to reformulate this problem astrologically
and to find some planets in AC, which are connected with this problem. And then we investigate
aspects to these planets from charts of candidates.
So we can find, that some candidate is more appropriate, than others - his chart is more appropriate
to solve the posed problem. But after this conclusion it is useful to calculate a new AC –
AC for all members of the initial group plus this candidate. If there are no new negative factors
in this new AC, we may suppose that this candidate is appropriate.
