Free Horoscopes by Astrodienst

Hello!

Aquarius Severn has been in existence since 1981 providing a forum for astrology and related subjects, encouraging exchange of ideas, learning and a greater understanding of the nature and meaning of astrology.

We are an open and friendly group - our talks attract people of all ages and experience of astrology, and visitors are always welcome.

We provide regular talks and discussions, as well as astrology classes at different levels, workshops with national speakers and a summer solstice field trip.  We aim to bring you events that are informative and enjoyable and our mid-talk tea-break is an opportunity to socialise, catch up with friends and chat. We also hold social evenings which usually involve a visit to a local pub or café and sometimes a walk, plus an annual celebratory meal in the depths of Winter. 

All evening talks take place on Thursday evenings, 8-10pm at 2 Wolseley Terrace, Oriel Rd Cheltenham and cost £6.00, or only £4.00 for members. Refreshments are available. For a map and parking details see our Location page. We are close to the bus stops at The Promenade.

You don’t have to be a member to attend, but by taking out an annual or half-yearly membership, you pay £2 less at talks, are eligible for discounts at other events and on purchasing new astrology books, and have access to our lending library.

Further down this page you can see our current programme. You can also sign up to our talk reminder service (see right) and receive our quarterly programme by email.

Our Astrology Workshops usually take place between 11am and 5pm at 2 Wolseley Terrace. Morning and afternoon refreshments are included, and lunch is available from the many cafes and sandwich bars in nearby.

Can you help Aquarius Severn?

Aquarius Severn is run on a voluntary basis by a committee and helpers. There are many tasks associated with keeping the Society running effectively and which make Aquarius Severn one of the most respected astrology groups. You don't have to be an astrologer to help out. We are particularly keen for someone to oversee our events publicity, but there are other ways to support us More...

British Prime Ministers - an astrological mix

From the colourless to the colourful, influential to insignificant, British Prime Ministers all have their unique astrological chart. 

Chris Burgoyne facilitates an evening looking at some of these political achievers through the magnifying lens of astrology, seeing if the astrological view supports the historical narrative and provides additional insight into their personality and politics.

The truth, the whole truth and …

As Saturn continues through Scorpio and buried truths continue to surface, astrologer Isla Pearson looks at the astrology of some recent conspiracy theories.  There has been much speculation about the Apollo Moon landings, and of course, around 9/11.  Can astrology help us to discover or understand what really happened?  Are there particular astrological types more prone to hoax or to being hoaxed?

Come with an open mind for a stimulating evening with Mars conjunct Jupiter in Cancer in opposition to Pluto.

Summer outing to The Purton Hulks

On 23rd. December 1909, a sudden giant landslip (Mars conjunct Saturn in Aries opposite Jupiter, square Uranus in Capricorn) demolished the land between the Severn and the Sharpness Canal. The solution was to deliberately run aground a number of old vessels to create a makeshift tidal erosion barrier. Barges, Trows and Schooners were "hulked" at high tide, and have since filled with silt. More boats have been added, including the schooner "Katherine Ellen" which was impounded in 1921 for running guns to the IRA, the Kennet Canal barge "Harriett", and Concrete Barges built in World War II. The Purton Hulks are therefore one of Gloucestershire's hidden treasures.

It's an atmospheric spot for a walk, and we are very pleased that we will be guided round the site by marine historian Paul Barnett THE expert on the Purton Hulks. At about 8pm we will adjourn to the Lammastide Inn for food and drink.

Please book for this event at a meeting, via email or phone, or using the payment facility (available below soon). Normal talk charges apply (£4 members, £6 non-members).

This watery graveyard is appropriate for acknowledging the trine between Saturn in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces. We should also be able to see a very bright Venus appearing from about 8:30 on.

Understanding channelling … and how it can change your life

We are very pleased to welcome back Tony & Ann Neate, who will give us the benefit of their decades of experience in this field.

Are you psychically Yin or Yang?  

Tony and Ann will introduce the principle of channelling and show you how you can utilise these aspects of your being. They consider it is important to deal with life on all levels. On the way we will hear wonderful stories from their long and varied experience in this field and how connecting to higher beings changed their lives.

For many years Tony was well-known as a channel for H-A, but recently he has been channelling an Aquarian age energy called Allbeing.  After the tea break he will channel Allbeing for us.

Gong !

Sound Healing is the application of sound through the voice and other instruments to balance mind, body and spirit. It works by stimulating the body’s natural frequency of vibration and healing mechanisms. It goes back many centuries and both the voice and tuning forks have been used to heal. In recent years, gongs have started to be used for this purpose with surprising results.

Percussionist and experienced Sound Healer Phil McNamara will talk about the history and making of gongs, explaining how sound healing with gongs works, and after the break will provide a ‘gong bath’ where you are encouraged to close your eyes, relax and let the sound ‘wash’ over you. 

The evening will feature several of the ‘Planet gongs' produced by the Paiste company with tunings based on Hans Cousto’s work The Cosmic Octave, each gong being 'tuned' to the frequencies of individual planets. You will also have the opportunity to play some of these exotic instruments.

Family patterns

Following on from her previous thoroughly-engaging talk at Aquarius Severn, Cate Reidy will return to say more on the subject of the twelfth house from the perspective of transmission of family narratives, often hidden but accessible via the astrology.  During her talk, Cate will explore life themes inter-linked across family generations to consider their transfer and the way these life events are described within the birth-chart.

It is as if our birth-chart demonstrates how we 'hold hands' with particular forbears, revealing forgotten memories, repeating situations, suppressed traumas or resourceful individuals who led unusual lives. Even if we don't have any planets tenanting the twelfth house, it is well to take notice of the sign on its cusp, as the position of its ruling planet can relate silent narratives from our family's past history.  

The night of a full moon at 6° Scorpio, conjunct Saturn, and with the Sun conjunct Mars should ensure a powerful narrative.

---

Astrologer Cate Reidy studied at Centre for Transpersonal Astrology and has taught astrology in various settings with an established astrological practice with a particular focus on a therapeutic approach to astrological consultations. Her professional interests in addiction, homelessness, dreams and surgical dreams, all tend to resonate with the concerns of the twelfth house.
