Saturn conjunct Neptune: Dreaming a New Real
with Liz Hathway
On February 20th 2026, Saturn and Neptune will be conjunct on the Aries point: a fresh cycle, a ‘brave new world’ appears on the horizon. How are we to imagine this great collective swell? What might an exploration of the conjunction of Saturn and Neptune in Aquarius in Neptune’s discovery chart, have to tell us about our relationship to the real? In this talk we will trace an outline of the future, through the lens of the past.
Liz Hathway, MA (with distinction) in Cultural Astronomy and Astrology, DFAstrolS, Qualified Horary Craftswoman (Frawley School) is a tutor at ‘De Hermetische Kosmos’ based in Den Bosch, and has lectured on mundane astrology both nationally and internationally since 2004.

Planetary Nodes: a global perspective
with Catriona Mundle
Due to illness this talk was cancelled at very short notice and we are deeply sorry to report that Catriona passed away shortly after this scheduled talk. Aquarius Severn sends its heartfelt condolences to Catriona's family and friends
Most astrologers nowadays are aware of the lunar nodes and many use them as a vital part of their consultations but fewer make use of (or even know about) the planetary nodes. Catriona's talk will introduce us to the planetary nodes: what they are and how they behave. She'll explain why the 2020 Saturn Pluto conjunction proved so challenging, review other historical moments implicating the planetary nodes and examine several charts of remarkable people with single and multiple conjunctions to planetary nodes.
A study of the astrological connections between people first drew Catriona to the practice of astrology in 1979 during a Saturn return. As an active member of the Astrological Lodge of London, she co-founded Regulus Publishing Co to promote understanding of traditional and divinatory astrology while also studying contemporary and psychological approaches. She holds a PG Diploma in Structural Astronomy and Astrology, and has worked as a Buqi Therapist (chi-gung therapy) and Taijiwuxigong teacher - an energetic rather than cognitive approach to the relationship between heaven and earth. Special interests include the bipolar temperament, the relationship between secondary (solar) and tertiary (lunar) progressions, clients’ experience of astrological consultations, the charts of writers and musicians, healing and nodal astrology.

The Changing Skies
Talk and group discussion
Our look ahead to the unprecedented astrology of 2025 highlighted the ingress of all the outer planets into new signs: Pluto into Aquarius, Neptune and Saturn into Aries and Uranus into Gemini. You can check out our YouTube channel for Bernard Eccles' and Steve Judd's talks on the first of these and in August we will hear Liz Hathway's take on Neptune and Saturn.
So our June meeting will focus firstly on the history of Uranus moving into Gemini. There will be an opportunity to take part in an open discussion, either on some aspect of that topic, or on one of the other major ingresses. We'll split into smaller groups for a reasonable length of time, to enable as many people as possible to take part, before we reconvene as a whole group.
Astrology can help us tap into positivity and opportunity when negotiating challenging times. We recognise that individuals may have different experiences and hold differing interpretations of astrology and current events, and so ask all attending to be respectful of other participants' views

Astrology and Tarot meeting through the 36 Decans
with Teri Nudelman
The decans, one of the essential dignities, go back to ancient Egypt historically. Not only do they add an extra layer to astrological interpretation, but they offer a fascinating way through which astrology can meet another divinatory art: tarot. Teri will act as our guide to explore this collaboration between the two disciplines.
Teri Nudelman has a BA (Honours) in Economics and master’s certificate in Banking and Entrepreneurship. She pursued a successful career in banking sector for 10 years in different parts of the world. She is a practising astrologer and tarot reader trained at the Faculty of Astrological Studies and International Tarot Foundation respectively.

The Astrology of Twins
with Alison Boulton
The Astrology of Twins: Sceptics often use twins to show how astrology cannot possibly be true. However, just a few minutes can have a major impact on natal charts and life outcomes. This talk looks at the birth charts of several pairs of twins, focusing especially on Ashton and Michael Kutcher whose lives dramatically illustrate this point.

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.

The Astrological Year Ahead
with Kris Lee & Graham Boston

|
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 outlook.
