Trans-Saturnians and the Astrology of Modernity With Geoffrey Cornelius. What we call modernity is a wave with a fetch of a millennium and a crest at the Scientific Enlightenment. The successive emergence of the trans-Saturnians symbolises the breaking of this wave, which almost succeeds in washing away the power of symbol. Perhaps what is left behind is something precious, revealed by the modern planets themselves. Venue: Art workers Guild, 6 Queen Square, Bloomsbury, London WC1. £8 on the door.

The Twelfth House: Behind the Scenes with Cate Reidy. For centuries this astrological house has been buried beneath a rather fatalistic and tragic reputation. Dubiously entitled the house of personal undoing and hidden enemies, the sight of planets positioned here has often struck fear into the heart. One prevailing view, that within the Twelfth House lies dormant submerged psychic remnants, which sooner or later bring about one's downfall or even more calamitous events that bring about a period of incarceration. This talk will approach the complexities of this house quite differently; from the inside rather than at an objective distance from the outside, to discover how during the 21st Century we might update astrological knowledge of the special purpose of this mysterious house. A talk at the Wessex Astrology Circle, Broadstone Community Centre, Poole, Dorset. 7.30pm. Entrance £5 includes refreshments. All welcome. Further details: http://wac-uk.blogspot.com

The Twelfth House A talk given by Cate Reidy. Traditionally the twelfth house has links with misfortune, bondage, persecution, imprisonment, confinement, banishment and exile. Judging by these descriptions, the twelfth house has clearly retained a disquieting reputation, and is without doubt a house full of complexities. However, now in the 21st Century, a question we might ask is: are there other ways, in which to understand this much maligned and frequently misunderstood astrological house? During this talk we will consider how we might approach this house from the context of a psychological approach.

Introduction to the Mayan Calendar: Our Galactic Signatures with Eileen Richardson. In 1987 Jose Arguelles, introduced us to the Mayan Calendar, a true visionary spirit of his time, who unfortunately passed away in March 2011 at the time of a Red Spectral Moon. We will look at how Western Astrology can correlate with the Mayan Calendar at this tremendously important time in world history, and take a look at the charts of Jose, a Blue Monkey, and then look at other personalities such as what makes Richard Branson a Red Dragon or Susan Boyle a Yellow Star. This talk is by way of a brief introduction to the benefits of studying the knowledge the Mayans left us, and show to us how we can access our own Galactic Signatures.

Astrology and the Holistic Paradigm with Steve Judd. Steve Judd (MA Cultural Astronomy & Astrology) has studied astrology for thirty-five years and in that time has compiled tens of thousands of different horoscopes, having a broad data base spanning generations, cultures and classes. Steve is a long term environmentalist, committed personally and professionally to fostering and nurturing both an environmental and holistic perspective out into the world. In that context he is uniquely placed to talk on a blend of astrological significators and symbols which relate to certain bodily functions, patterns and timings of well/unwell being. By blending the original stimulation of Dee, Lilly and Culpepper and their ilk with a 21st century approach to holistic astrology, Steve has developed his own ideas of how to spot certain dysfunctions and suggests ways and/or timings for rectifying them before they become permanent. This is not a standard lecture on astrology but rather is aimed at the student and practitioner of holistic therapy and goes beyond provable application into statistical conjecture and hypothesis, blending the psychological, emotional, mental and physical with the subtle external planetary influences in such a way as to give one an 'edge' in empowering oneself and catalysing others. As Culpepper might have said (but didn't)... be there or be a cubic angular, pointed thing. A talk at the Wessex Astrology Circle, Broadstone Community Centre, Poole, Dorset. 7.30pm. Entrance £5 includes refreshments. All welcome. Further details: http://wac-uk.blogspot.com
