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.
Wolseley Terrace, CheltenhamThe Isbourne
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 (usually at The Isbourne in Cheltenham), 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.

However, thanks to the coronavirus pandemic things have changed and we've temporarily (whilst Saturn is in Aquarius) moved online. Below you can see our current programme. You can also sign up to our talk reminder service (see right).

Aquarius Severn, which has been hosting talks, classes, workshops and social events since 1981, is a not-for-profit society run by volunteers, whose aim is to educate and bring astrology to a wider audience.
Current Programme
Our talks are online!
In order to support our astrological community during the coronavirus crisis we moved our talks online in March 2020 and will continue online for the foreseeable future.

You can watch some of our previous webinars on our YouTube channel.

​Timings

Our webinars (which use the popular Zoom platform) start at our usual time of 7.25pm (but please join from 7.15pm in order to settle in) and most will end at 8.45pm (including a 15m Q&A session at the end).

After the webinar ends there will be a further half an hour or so in which you are free to stay on and make contact with friends and acquaintances or just 'hang out' in the company of fellow astrology enthusiasts :-)

Aquarius Severn is a non-profit group run by a volunteer committee and helpers.

Using Zoom

For best results download the Zoom Client for Meetings on your computer or laptop. We recommend you do this now so that you are familiar with Zoom before attending your first webinar or meeting. The software will also automatically download when click the 'Click here to Join' link in your webinar registration email.

You can also experience our webinars on a tablet or smartphone - though we don't recommend the latter unless you've got very good eyesight since the presenters will be sharing horoscope chartwheels on the screen. To do so, download the Zoom Cloud Meetings app (free) at Google Play or on the Apple App Store (iPad and iPhone only).
No microphone or speakers? No problem!

If you don't have speakers (or a microphone) on or attached to your computer, don't worry, you can use a phone to listen to the talk and to speak during the social parts of the event. In the email invitations Zoom sends out when you register for a webinar, UK, US and French phone numbers to call, plus the meeting ID and password, will be included, as well as a link if calling from other countries.
Important - Your Privacy

Please be aware that if you keep your video camera/webcam switched on in a Zoom meeting that you - and what is behind you in your room - can be seen by other attendees. If you are concerned about your privacy, you can turn your camera off by clicking the 'Video' button and participants will see only a black square with your name on it. You can also rename yourself, for example using your first name only.

Aquarius Severn records the presentation section of most of our webinars and may make these available online via our YouTube account. Please be assured however that we will not include faces or other personally identifiable information. During the webinar whilst the speaker shares their presentation you may be able to see the other participants' faces, but their (and your) video thumbnails will not be included in our recordings.

We do not allow attendees to record our Zoom webinars but please be aware that an attendee can record and share the webinar online if he or she possesses the right software or technical skill.

When Place Reflects your Soul: Theory and Practice of Astro*Carto*Graphy™
with Alejo Ló​pez

Picture
We are generally used to seeing how our relationships reflect who we are. But A*C*G teaches us that place can also work as a mirror for the soul. And that not all places are the same. When we visit a mountain, a forest or a lake, we are not only encountering its soul but that of our own. Why is it that when we visit this or that city, we always feel alive or somewhat blue or, perhaps, lucky? A*C*G might be able to answer those questions so that you can plan where to go according to what you expect to find.
​
Alejo López is a full-time astrologer living in Athens after having moved from Argentina at the age of 23. He holds a degree in Psychology and a Diploma from the Faculty of Astrological Studies, where he now tutors. He is currently studying for the M.A. in Cultural Astronomy and Astrology and training to be a Jungian Analyst.

Modern astrology is awash with a full toolkit of useful techniques, and it's easy to think of traditional astrology - with just seven planets and five aspects - as being a bit simplistic. But traditional astrology has its own toolkit of techniques that you can incorporate into your own practice.

In tonight's talk, we'll start with a quick introduction to traditional astrology to show where it's similar and where it's different to modern astrology, before diving into a couple of fascinating predictive techniques that will help you map out your life.

Chris Mitchell has a PhD from the University of Leicester on the topic of medieval astrology and an MA in Cultural Astronomy and Astrology from Bath Spa University College. He is a tutor on that MA course, now hosted at the University of Wales, and holds a diploma in Medieval Astrology from Astrologos. He has been actively involved in promoting and teaching astrology since the 1990s, is on the boards of the Astrological Association, the Association of Professional Astrologers International (APAI), and the International Association of Ethics in Astrology (IAEA), and has given talks to groups and conferences in Europe and the US. He is the author of England's First Astrology Book, and was the joint recipient of the Charles Harvey Award for Exceptional Service to Astrology in 2021.

Up The Golden Path
with A.T. Mann

We are delighted to welcome back top U.S. astrologer, author, designer and artist A.T. (Tad) Mann, author of eighteen books on astrology, sacred architecture, sexuality and gardens.

​His Logarithmic Time Scale concept, based on the ideas of G.I Gurdjieff, J.D. Ouspensky and Rodney Collin, inform his books on astrology, including The Round Art: The Astrology of Time and Space, Life Time Astrology and Astrology and the Art of Healing.

"The lifetime journey from childhood to adulthood, and beyond to the transcendent, is a process in time. Astrology reflects this, but it rarely manifests in our techniques.

Follow A.T. Mann’s journey through history, our own history, and a new way of seeing your life in time that allows you to step through into the core of your being and beyond.​'

A.T. Mann was self-taught, enabled by the works of Gurdjieff and Ouspensly, and Rodney Collin, into a “Fourth Way” philosophy that utilizes this essential dynamic in its mechanism and practice. Having now done over 5000 readings using Life Time Astrology, it is even more strongly validated."

​You must register in advance for this webinar.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email from Zoom containing information about joining the meeting.

A.T. (Tad) Mann was born in New York in 1943, graduated from Cornell University Architecture School and worked as an architectural designer for years in New York City and Rome, creating many buildings which won design awards. Since 1972, he has created and practiced Life Time Astrology whilst living in the UK, Denmark and currently the US. His technique is a dynamic narrative astrology, alive and active, from conception to old age and death.

His books include The Round Art: Astrology of Time and Space (1978); Life Time Astrology (1984); The Divine Plot: Astrology and Reincarnation (1986); Astrology and the Art of Healing (1989); The Mandala Astrological Tarot (1988); and a series of books on the Sacred.

The Venus Star, Our Connection
to a Heart-Centred Cosmos
with Arielle Guttman

Picture
This lecture will introduce the audience to the Star of Venus. Many of us are aware of our own personal (natal) position of Venus, but few are aware that she, together with Earth, form a beautiful heart-shaped pentagonal pattern as they orbit around the Sun. That pattern is the Venus Star.

​Arielle Guttman will demonstrate the five current star points on the world chart and how they are relevant to the current timeline. Arielle will also display the table of dates to find your own Venus Star Point and place it in your chart for a bright new look at how this Venus is guiding your life path.

Arielle Guttman began her astrological studies in 1974 and has since authored five books in the field including the two-volume Mythic Astrology series with Kenneth Johnson and The Astro*Carto*Graphy Book of Maps with the late Jim Lewis.

More recently she has authored the ground-breaking volume on Venus called Venus Star Rising: A New Cosmology for the 21st Century which introduces the 5 Venus Star Points. 

Arielle has lectured and taught around the world for various astrological organizations and schools. She currently lives in Greece. She offers a home-study course that leads to professional certification in the Venus Star Point system.

Check out her website: www.SophiaVenus.com.

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.
