Let's Get Personal - Sun to Mars
Zoom webinar with Margaret Koolman
The Sun's Sign in our charts can be seen as the door to our heart, the largest chakra, the Sun in the human solar system. Margaret will look at some keys to this door, look for where we go when it's hard to be ourselves and how to balance our wonderful qualities so the world can digest them.
We may know our birth chart, but many people don't know their birth time or don't want all the astrology. They may just benefit from the odd phrase to help them live happily. Let's look for the phrases that will act as keys to mental understanding (Mercury), relationships (Venus), and the active energetic system (Mars). With very little astrology, everyone can use keys in their everyday life to detach and re-focus, because the chart is not who we are, it's what we have. Each key can be very simple, specific and above all useful, and finding your own can be fun!
So bring along your personal planets for a tour around this part of the astrological solar system!
Margaret Koolman has decades of experience as an astrologer working in the UK and overseas. She is the author of Soul Purpose Astrology and produces a monthly New Moon report available from her website soulastrology.com.

The Secret History of Saturn
Zoom webinar with US astrologer
Christopher Renstrom
|
|
Saturn has always occupied an uncomfortable position in astrology. By turns feared and loathed, it was the planet associated with the oppressed, slaves, the elderly and the destitute - far from its more recent association with rigid authority and the moneyed classes.
So how did this come about? Drawing on art, iconography and literature Christopher will reconstruct Saturn’s secret history and show a different way of looking at a planet that is often stigmatised.
In recent years Saturn has been held up as the shadow aspect of our horoscope, something we need to integrate in order to become whole. But what if Saturn’s job is to stubbornly resist assimilation?
We will see how by maintaining its otherness Saturn shows us our true faces.
Christopher will illustrate his ideas using the birthcharts of some infamous contemporary Americans.
Christopher Renstrom has been a practicing astrologer since 1985 and is the author of Ruling Planets (HarperCollins) as well as the creator of RulingPlanets.com, an interactive astrology magazine. He writes the daily 'horoscopes' for the San Francisco Chronicle and SFGate.com.

Kicking up a Storm?
Mars' transit of Aries in 2020
Zoom Webinar with Gillian Crawford
In order to learn how to read horoscopes we have to first consult many of the astrological ‘cookbooks’ and dissect each part of a chart, but how about the important process of bringing it all back together? How does that happen, and would there be a formula that could help us doing that more smoothly?
In this talk Fernanda Paiva will be exploring the art of interpreting charts, finding themes in the horoscope, and the role of imagination in this process.
She will be using examples from the audience, so the session won’t be recorded for that reason, but you may want to switch off your camera since any attendee with the right software can record the session and upload it onto YouTube.
With that said, Fernanda will only be talking about general themes in the horoscope rather than sensitive or private issues, and will be very respectful as ethics and empowerment are amongst the top priorities of her work as an astrologer.
Fernanda Paiva is a practicing astrologer with a B.A. in History and she acquired her astrology certificate with distinction at the London School of Astrology. She has been published by Flare UK, IAM Infinity magazine, the AA Journal and at the astrodienst website, and she is currently doing the MA in Cultural Astronomy and Astrology at the University of Wales.
Fernanda is originally from Brazil but has been living in the UK for the past 11 years and she will be doing a talk at the Astrological Association Conference in 2020 on The Astrology of The Handmaid’s Tale.

The feisty planet Mars enters its home sign of Aries on June 28th, straight after squaring the nodes of the Moon, indicators of our collective destiny. It will stay there beyond the end of 2020, appearing to travel backwards in the night sky between 10th September and 14th November before resuming its normal forward motion. Whilst in Aries, Mars will make a series of squares to Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto, re-energising the ongoing conjunctions between those outer planets.
Gillian will explore the nature of Mars and what Mars' transit through Aries might mean for the wider world. She will indicate specific times that could prove to be particularly tense, stressful or demanding. She will consider how any of us might respond to whatever challenges emerge and highlight where to look in one's natal chart for sensitive points which could be triggered by the transit.
Gillian Crawford has always been fascinated by the night sky; her curiosity about astrology started in her 20s and has become a deep fascination over the past four years. She joined Aquarius Severn two years ago.

How Medieval Astrologers Knew What You Really Wanted!
Zoom Webinar with Chris Mitchell
Woodcut by Nicolas Flammarion, colourised by Michael Thydell (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flammarion_1280.jpg)
Horary, one of the oldest branches of astrology, is used to answer direct questions such as 'where are my missing keys?' or 'will I get the job?'
Chris will explain some of the basics of this art as well as a little-known technique outlined in 'Intentions' - part of 12th-century astronomer-scholar Roger of Hereford's book 'Judicial Astrology', which enables the astrologer to uncover the real question behind the apparent one given by the client. In some respects this is similar to the modern practice of drawing up a 'consultation' chart cast for the moment the session with the client is due to begin, to find out the underlying issues likely to surface during it.
A downloadable handout will explain both how to answer questions using horary and how to divine the question behind the question, including interpreting the duodenaria (12th part or 2.5 degree segment) and novene (9th part) the Ascendant is located in.
Chris will answer some of the questions attendees submit using the chat facility, in the 10-minute Q&A session that starts at 8.35pm.
Be amongst the first to use this technique in over 800 years!

A downloadable handout will explain both how to answer questions using horary and how to divine the question behind the question, including interpreting the duodenaria (12th part or 2.5 degree segment) and novene (9th part) the Ascendant is located in.
Chris will answer some of the questions attendees submit using the chat facility, in the 10-minute Q&A session that starts at 8.35pm.
Be amongst the first to use this technique in over 800 years!

Accessible Primary Directions - a video Lecture
vYour life story is encoded in the changing skyscape in the hours after your birth. One of astrology’s oldest forecasting tools, Primary Directions were abandoned by many for being too difficult to calculate, but thanks to modern astrology software are making a comeback.
In this video presentation and voiceover, recorded at the 2019 Astrology Association Annual Conference, you’ll learn an accessible way to calculate Primary Directions using free as well as commonly available software, then fine-tune with Solar Return charts.
With thanks to the Astrological Association of Great Britain for giving us permission to play this recording.

Restoring The Masculine Benefic
In the last few decades, thanks to the boom in astrology, feminism and the counterculture in general, The Goddess, in all her forms, has been restored to her previous position of prominence.
At the same time, there has been a revision of the masculine deities. Jupiter, for example, is now all too frequently seen as a serial adulterer, and Mars as a would-be warrior who isn’t much good.
We now have asteroids for the roles of the mother, wife, sister and daughter - but what about the father, husband, brother and son? Perhaps it is time to restore the benefic side of the masculine ethos.
Past President of The Astrological Lodge in London, and holder of The Charles Harbey Award for services to astrology Bernard Eccles makes a welcome return to Aquarius Severn.

Saturnalia!

Join us for our annual winter get-together and meal, this time at the King's Arms in Prestbury, Cheltenham, newly refurbished by Raymond Blanc's White Brasserie company. There will be plenty of good food, astrological conversation and some mystery birth charts!
Afterwards, weather permitting, we will have a short walk around the village and hear a little of its interesting history (including its many ghosts!). There is a choice of roasts (including a vegetarian one) and other options including vegan and gluten-free (see Sunday menu and their separate gluten-free and dairy-free menus). |

2020 - What Lies in Store ?
2020 will be marked by several major astrological events, starting with the exact conjunction of Saturn and Pluto on 12th January and ending at the winter solstice with the conjunction of 'The Grand Chronocrators' Jupiter and Saturn at zero degrees Aquarius.
The latter marks a major shift from the Earth to the Air element for the next two hundred or so years!
Join us as we explore what lies in store for the year ahead both globally and personally.
