Pluto and the Otherworld: An Alternative Approach
with Deborah Morgan
Astrologers often refer to the myths of the Classical Underworld involving Hades and Persephone when exploring these potentially life-changing transits. Yet in other cultures such as the Celtic Traditions of the British Isles, the Otherworld is adjacent to the natural world and accessed merely by a chance encounter or crossing a river. Can this different cultural approach offer new perspectives into our interpretation of Pluto transits? Join Deborah for an exploration of astrological and mythological themes that provide a fresh and intriguing approach.

Where might astrological research lead?
with Tom Stedall
Tom says: "When I first became interested in astrological research, I encountered two sets of views. On the one hand was the view that astrology cannot be quantified; on the other that it must be to be taken seriously. I agree with neither. In this talk, I look at some recent examples of astrological research, to show how relatively little exists, even compared to other ‘controversial’ fields. From here, I outline some of the particular challenges of, and possible approaches to astrological research. Importantly, this is about testing claims, not to ‘prove’ or ‘disprove’ astrology, but to enrich understanding of it."

The Secret Self: Reflections from the 7th House
with Carole Taylor
The 7th is much more than just the house of relationship. It holds a hidden element of the personality and hidden potentials, made potent through projection but subject to our fear of the unknown. The journey towards inner wholeness inevitably leads us into the territory of the 7th, which comes to life through encounters – with other people, but also with events and activities that evoke the complex around 7th house planets, the sign on the cusp and its ruler. This talk will explore the enigmas of this house, including its role in astrological consultancy and client work.
