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.
Toby Aldren has been a professional astrologer since 1998 and has an astrology practice in Vancouver, Canada where he holds consultations, teaches classes and leads workshops. In 2013 he gained the Diploma from the Faculty Of Astrological Studies, with whom he now works as a Distance Learning Tutor and Online Tutor. He is also a professional musician.

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.
