 The 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. 
 We've moved online!
In order to support our astrological community during the crisis we have decided to move online. For the duration of Saturn's temporary entry into Aquarius (now extended until the end of July!) we will be offering two free webinars a month.
On our usual first Thursday of the month we will be continuing our four 10-minute 'mini-presentations' led by the committee. In the middle of the month we will be bringing you a talk by a guest speaker. Our webinars (which use the popular Zoom platform) start at our usual time of 7.30pm (but please join from 7.15pm in order to settle in) and most will end at 8.40pm including a 10m Q&A session at the end. After the webinar ends there will be a further quarter of 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. Attending from outside the UK? Check what time 7.30pm UK time is in your location. Aquarius Severn is a non-profit organisation run by a small group of volunteers. Our webinars are currently FREE whilst Saturn is in Aquarius (now extended throughout July), although if you are able to give a small donation (from £1 to £3) to cover our outgoings, it will help us cover our monthly Zoom fees and continue to bring you great astrological speakers. You can donate via the PayPal button above or via https://www.paypal.me/aquariussevern Please do not feel obliged!
If you don't already subscribe, please sign up to our newsletter and get reminders about forthcoming webinars.
For best results download the Zoom Client for Meetings on your computer or laptop. We recommend you do this now so that you are familar 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). If you don't have speakers (or a microphone) on or attached to your computer, don't worry, you can use a phone to hear 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.
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 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 they can be recorded and shared online by those possessing the right software or technical skill. Thursday 4 June 7.30pm

Members of Aquarius Severn can borrow books displayed at our talks and workshops, as well now as those we share with the Bristol and Bath Astrology Circle.
Astrological SymbolsYes 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!

Alternatively, for a birthchart you can store and print, click here to go to the Free Birthchart page at Astro.com. 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! |
