Cycles for Crisis & Cure

NEW LIVE LECTURES - OCTOBER 2025

Planetary Cycles, Transits & Remediation

When illness or a lack of vitality impacts our lives, it often signals that something deeper is asking to shift. Astrology provides a powerful framework to understand these cycles of crisis — and the tools we can use to transform them into opportunities for healing, growth, and resilience.

In this 2-part live lecture series, Kira Sutherland blends medical astrology, traditional healing principles, and clinical insight to help you navigate planetary triggers, health imbalances, and remedies with clarity and confidence. You’ll learn how each planet influences health, how transits highlight periods of stress and change, and how to apply supportive strategies to restore balance.

Whether you’re an astrologer, practitioner, or simply someone passionate about integrating astrology with wellbeing, this series gives you both the theory and the practical tools to apply immediately.

In this lecture, we look at:

  • The common health triggers and stumbling blocks linked to each natal planet.
  • How planetary transits and progressions highlight periods of crisis, opportunity, and change.
  • The impact of aspects (conjunctions, squares, oppositions) on health and vitality.
  • Practical remedies, including herbs, nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle adjustments to support planetary imbalances.
  • How to integrate tissue states, planetary energies, and chart insights into holistic health strategies.
  • Real-life chart examples that bring the theory to life and help you apply it to practice.
