August 8th: The Moon Through the 12 Signs - Steven Forrest
In what is normally a quiet month for the group we're taking the opportunity to try out a new approach - an instructional video by a master astrologer. Steven Forrest introduces the dynamic, multi-dimensional nature of the Moon, then explores how it functions in each one of the twelves signs of the Zodiac. What is the “mood of your life” if your Moon lies in Gemini? How is that different from Pisces? How do you maintain a sense of happiness and well-being if your Moon is in Capricorn? The Moon's sign is only one part of the larger Lunar jigsaw puzzle of house, phase, aspects and so on - but understanding the Moon sign is a foundation principle in astrology, every bit as critical as knowing the Sun sign.
The fee for the evening is £4.
September 12th: Lizzie Borden - John Frawley
Building on the success of last month we're holding another video presentation. This time we've selected John Frawley, another excellent astrologer and presenter. In this lecture John explores the birthchart of Lizzie Borden who was accused and acquitted of the murder of her father and stepmother in the famous trial of 1893 - "Lizzie Borden took an axe/gave her mother 40 whacks/When she saw what she had done/She gave her father 41". We will listen to his presentation and then discuss the charts between ourselves. Everyone is welcome and the evening is suitable for astrologers of all levels of experience.
The fee for this evening is £4
October 10th: The Ascendant 'Masquerade of the Soul'
Our speaker is Philip Heaton, a Faculty trained professional astrologer who has been teaching astrology for more than twenty years.
