We welcome back as a speaker Graham Boston, who will be joining committee member Kris Lee for our annual tune-in to the astrological heavens. Both will be well-known to Aquarius Severn regulars for their depth of experience and insightful approach to astrology.
Late 2024 and 2025 see major shifts in the astrological energies from Earth and Water to Air and Fire. Pluto fully settled into Aquarius in November 2024 and will stay there for the next 20 years. Neptune dances to and fro on the Vernal Equinox point throughout 2025 and Saturn’s mid-year entry into Aries brings these planets within 13 arc minutes of each other. Uranus enters Gemini mid-year. Chiron conjuncts Eris in Aries. Kris and Graham will consider the year’s astrological weather.

Chiron conjunct Eris:
Healing Crisis or Cathartic Release?
with Tamsin St George
27th May 2025 marks the first exact pass of transiting Chiron conjunct Eris, Goddess of Chaos, Discord and Strife at 25 degrees of Aries.
Chiron in Aries represents the wounded masculine and Eris, the radical feminine - no wonder the fusion of these two energies is causing such disquiet! We will explore the timing of their union which offers a choice between fulfilling conscious union of Masculine and Feminine archetypal energy or more wounding and crisis. It feels very relevant that two days before their union, Saturn makes his ingress into Aries, heralding another karmic marker for a time of change and maturing of Arian energy.
The Discovery Charts and archetypal energy of these two signatures will be highlighted, with example client charts and also the chart of a public figure who dramatically illustrates the power of Eris coursing through her crusading energy… How might she respond to this transit, so prominent in her own chart?

Astrology & Mortality
with Sue Brayne
Our astrological chart puts us back in Right Relationship with our mortality. Sue discusses how psychopomp Mercury, Saturn, and the transpersonal planets might step forward to support us as we approach death, the significance of the 4th, 8th, and 12th houses of beginnings and endings, and how the astrological cycles bring our life to a close. Understanding this reconnects us to Kairos time and can ease our fear of death.
Sue Brayne MA, D.F. Astrol.S. is an end-of-life researcher, author, and astrological journalist. Sue has an MA in Rhetoric and Rituals of Death, a second MA in Creative writing, and is a TEDx speaker spreading her idea on how to Wear Your Mortality with Pride. Sue launched her YouTube channel, Celebrating Astrology in July 2024 which hosts a wide range of astrological doyens. Her interviews with leading astrologers appear regularly in the Astrological Journal and her articles have been published by Astrodienst.

Our online talks
In order to support our astrological community during the coronavirus pandemic we moved our talks online and will continue online for the foreseeable future. For locals - in Gloucestershire, England - we also have occasional social get-togethers.
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 :-)

Using Zoom
When registering, make sure you type your email in carefully; if there is a mistake Zoom will still accept the registration, but you won't receive the registration email!
If you don't see a registration email in your inbox, please check your spam folder - it is almost certainly there.
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).

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!

Fill in the form on the left and click 'Select Service'. For a free birthchart and brief interpretation, select 'Astrology Report'. Other reports, some paid, are also available.
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. |
