JANUARY 2012
The Year Ahead 2012 with Maggie Hyde. 2012 falls into a rare pattern of Uranus and Pluto contacts that occurred in the counter-culture of the 1960s, and before then in the 1930s. This year, their contact happens in both June and September, and then five times in the following years. These modern planets have also entered new signs, bringing changes in the collective psyche. Pluto challenged capitalistic Capricorn in 2008-09 and Uranus in Aries triggered the Arab spring in March 2011. This year, Neptune asks us to question further our views of reality when it enters Pisces in February. We will look at 2012 for the prevailing zeitgeist, especially its economics and at how the individual needs to be independent, debt-free and ready to adapt in life and love. A Wednesday evening meeting of The Company of Astrologers at Marty's Yard, High St, Hampstead, London. 7.15 for a 7.30 start; admission £5 (payable on the door)
Mercury enters Capricorn 06.34 GMT

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.
