Free Horoscopes by Astrodienst

Hello!

Since 1981, Aquarius Severn has provided a forum for astrology and related subjects, encouraging exchange of ideas, learning and an exploration of the nature and meaning of astrology.

We provide a gathering place where you can find out more about the many facets of this fascinating subject. Our talks are an opportunity to meet with people from a variety of backgrounds and ages with a shared interest and experience of astrology.

​We hold monthly talks and discussions, and on occasions astrology classes and workshops with national speakers, and a field trip round about the Summer Solstice.

Our usual talk format includes:
• a talk of about an hour by an invited speaker, or a facilitated discussion
• tea-break with an opportunity to socialise and chat
• Q&A or discussion on the topic
• an astrological take on current events or someone in the news. 
Wolseley Terrace, Cheltenham
All evening talks take place on Thursday evenings, 7.30 to 9.30pm at 2 Wolseley Terrace Oriel Rd Cheltenham and cost £7.00, or £5.00 for members.

​Entry for students is £3. 


For a map and parking details see our Location page. We are close to the bus stops at The Promenade.

We also hold socials which usually involve a visit to a local pub or café and often a walk, plus a celebratory meal in the depths of Winter. 

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).

Can you help Aquarius Severn?

Picture
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...

Current Programme
Our talks are on the first Thursday of the month, with socials usually on a Thursday evening in May and August, a Saturnalia meal in late January and a field trip in mid Summer. Check below for details, or sign up to our mailing list.

Thursday 3 May 7.30pm
Turning the Wheel of Your Zodiac Soul: Twelve Gateways to Wholeness

Picture
In this talk John Wadsworth will be sharing the fruits of his many years working with the Zodiac as a wheel of initiation, transformation and healing.  This talk coincides with the launch of John's new book, 'Your Zodiac Soul', which is published by Orion Spring in March 2018. 

Rather than focussing on the zodiac signs as being indicative of twelve personality types, John will present the zodiac as a complete, alchemical emblem of the soul, offering twelve transformational gateways in the ever-turning wheel of life. This idea lay at the heart of the mystery school traditions of ancient Greece and Rome.  Treating the zodiac in the manner of a medicine wheel that we all possess complete and whole within the psyche, John will take us on an journey to restore the power and integrity of its twelve archetypal images and demonstrate how we can engage with the wheel practically and alchemically in our everyday lives.

John Wadsworth
John became a professional astrologer in 1993, following a profound experience of communion with the night sky, which opened his mind to the poetry of the cosmos and radically altered his worldview. He has been teaching astrology since 2000, running the Kairos School of Astrology in Glastonbury. He is known as an innovator in the field, engaging with astrology primarily as an experiential practice capable of facilitating profound healing and transformation, and is the founder of The Alchemical Journey, a contemporary zodiac mystery school, based in Glastonbury. This work forms the basis of his book, Your Zodiac Soul, due for publication in March 2018.  John holds an MA in Cultural Astronomy & Astrology from Bath Spa University. He also teaches night-sky astronomy and runs a mobile planetarium for schools.

Venus - "not just a pretty face"

Picture
Picture
​Venus symbolises beauty, love and fertility but it is also the inner planet that acts as a trigger for major events. Its importance in the birth chart and in mundane charts should never be underestimated.

For this evening's talk we have a Full Moon and and a conjunction of Venus and Mercury in Pisces, so a good time to be talking about Venus.

Justin Martin is an astrologer living in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire. He has a certificate in astrology from the Faculty of Astrological Studies and worked as a part-time astrologer for the ten years he lived in Bournemouth, which he managed around his full-time job. He has periodically taught classes and been a speaker at the Windsor astrology club and at the Beaconsfield astrology group.

Justin accurately predicted the later-than-expected birth date of Prince George, son of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, as well as his niece's birth date, which doctors said would be the 1st of June, when in fact she arrived on the 20th.

(Note this talk was originally scheduled for 1 March)


Sunday 24 June
Field trip

A day outing at an interesting venue or two, with a picnic or pub lunch along the way.

Sedna Consciousness

When a new Solar System body is discovered, clues to the astrological meaning can be found by looking at a range of factors, but primarily come from studying the planet in a large number of charts to find common themes.

Sedna was discovered in 2003 and it has a huge highly elliptical (egg-shaped) orbit of 11,406 Earth years and lies out past all the other planets, even at its closest point.

Along the way we’ll discover the evolutionary power of the ‘candidate dwarf planet’ and learn of the profound implications for society in the coming years as Sedna approaches her closest point to Earth later this century in the 2070s.

Picture
We are pleased to welcome astrologer Alan Clay all the way from New Zealand. For over 30 years Alan has conducted deep research into people through his work as a clown and a clown teacher. He is researching Sedna, the new outer limit of the Solar System, which includes comprehensive aspect analysis using all the new dwarf planets.

Astrological Symbols

Yes we know the Sun, Moon and Node (and possibly Chiron and Pluto) aren't "planets", but it's the shorthand way of referring to them!

Astro.com has many resources available for free, and more if you create a free account with them. You can bring your printed birthchart to our talks. For an interpretation, it is probably best to have a consultation with an astrologer, as it is easy to be overwhelmed by the information contained in printed or web interpretations. Or come to Aquarius Severn, and one of our friendly astrologers may have a brief chat with you about your chart during the refreshment break!
